Mozart cadenzas
on: July 26, 2007, 02:28:25 PM
Does anyone have any cadenzas besides Mozart's own for Piano Concerto no.23 in A major KV.488?
Thanks in advance!:)

eek.  busoni and joseffy?  how about listening to ashkenazy or perahia's cadenzas and then adapting them?  or, badura-skoda's.  but, most of these would chose some variation on mozart's own cadenza and not mess with it too much.  you see, putting in a long cadenza wasn't mozart's ideal.  short and sweet.  not too much 'variation' mode.  it wasn't the typical romantic cadenza - and yet people try to put a romantic cadenza in with a classical concerto. 

busoni's is gas.  joseffy's like hanon.

From that comment, i can only imagine that you have yet to look at anything by Hanon apart from his finger drills.

Thanks - not particularly Mozartian, but neither is Beethoven's 20 cadenza yet that gets played...
