Thanks in Advance

i never heard of them. anyway, who would play these instead of beethoven's own cadenzas? especially since he has 2 of them for the 1st part.

Obviously, people do care about what Mendelssohn had to say about this concerto.
I don't think there's been such a recording yet, but if you eventually find out, do let us know! :)

I would. Mendelssohn wrote four different cadenzas for the first movement.
