Quasi-Cadenza?

on: June 16, 2012, 04:47:08 PM

I know what a cadenza is, but from time to time I see Quasi-cadenza.

Does anyone know what this means?

Thank you.

It means play it like a cadenza. It's used where it is either not fully a cadenza or is in a place where a cadenza would not normally be found. Quasi anything means in the manner of that thing.
