Popper was a prolific composer of cello music, writing four [[concerto]]s under his own name (the so-called fifth cello concerto of [[Joseph Haydn]], supposedly realized by Popper from the older composer's sketches, is almost certainly another original composition<ref>{{cite web |title=Concerto for Cello in C, Hob.VIIb: 5 [attributed work, possibly composed by Popper] |url=https://www.alfred.com/concerto-for-cello-in-c-hobviib-5-attributed-work-possibly-composed-by-popper/p/36-A516502/ |publisher=Alfred Music |access-date=13 May 2025}}</ref>), a ''Requiem'' for three cellos and orchestra (1891) and a number of smaller pieces which are still played today, including the solo piece ''[[Tarantella]]''. His shorter showpieces were written to highlight the unique sound and style of the cello, extending the instrument's range with pieces such as ''Spinnlied'' (Spinning Song), ''Elfentanz'' (Dance of the Elves), or the ''Ungarische Rhapsodie'' (Hungarian Rhapsody), which was published by the [[Friedrich Hofmeister Musikverlag]].<ref>[http://www.hofmeister-musikverlag.com/events/shows.html?sort=title&dir=asc Aufführungstermine] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120331113054/http://www.hofmeister-musikverlag.com/events/shows.html?sort=title&dir=asc |date=2012-03-31 }} [[Friedrich Hofmeister Musikverlag]] 2011 {{in lang|de}}</ref> He also wrote instructional pieces. Popper is also known for his High School of Cello Playing (Op. 73), a book of [[cello étude]]s that is widely used by advanced cello students.
