According to the bio in Violoncellisten der Gegenwart: In Wort und Bild (Cellists of the Present: In Word and Picture), Becker was a composer, beginning at the age of 15. He was even reputed to have written a cello concerto that was well-known on the concert stage.

Although there is no music, that I know of (in the public domain, or otherwise) this cellist was a game-changing artist for cello technique and interpretation. Come along to hear a bit more from a bio written during his peak period, about 40 years before his death.
