It is a must-listen for cello enthusiasts and anyone interested in Classical era France.

Jean-Louis Duport's Studies for Cello, written over 200 years ago, is still relevant in cello pedagogy today. Duport, a French cellist, and his brother Jean-Pierre revolutionized cello performance. Duport's virtuosity led to his collaborations with King Friedrich Wilhelm II and Ludwig van Beethoven on his Op. 5 cello sonatas. Duport's Studies for Cello remains essential in cello practice, composed primarily by him and his teacher Martin Berteau.
