David Popper was born in Prague in 1843, and studied music at the Prague Conservatory. He studied the cello under Julius Goltermann (1825-1876), and soon attracted attention. He made his first tour in 1863; in Germany he was praised by Hans von Bülow (who was also a son-in-law of Franz Liszt), who recommended him to a position as Chamber Virtuoso in the court of Frederick William, Prince of Hohenzollern. In 1864, he premiered Robert Volkmann's Cello Concerto in A minor, Opus 33 with Hans von Bülow conducting the Berlin Philharmonic.
