I think this is the cadenza for Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand.

For me it is Rachmaninoff's 3rd concerto ossia cadenza from 1st mvt and the bit towards the end of the 2nd mvt leading to the 3rd mvt. Originally, I didn't know there was an ossia cadenza because all along I was listening to Byron Janis play the orginal cadenza and then I happened to stumble along a Lazar Berman version of the ossia cadenza. The Ossia is so much better than the original, with more deeper sounds and more meaning to it. And besides, it is longer.  ;DIMO the original is only for people with small hands.
I can't tell there the cadenza is in Thalberg's concerto.

the cadenza on the 1st movement of Beethoven's third piano concerto, and the shorter cadenza on rach 3, but only when played by the great Horowitz

Gouldīs cadenza from Beethovenīs first piano concerto  ;D

I really love it actually, I think that more pianists should play it.
