Cadenzas for Mozart's CONCERTO #20 (KV 466)

[esmusssein]

Hi everyone,

I have been revisiting Mozart's 20th piano concerto which I hadn't touched in 30 years. Back in the day, when I was a student, I had played Beethoven's cadenzas for the concerto, since Mozart didn't write his down. Now far be it from me to criticize any of Manifest God's compositions, but I don't really think they are ... well ... Mozartlike (Forgive me, oh Lord!). On the other hand, I really like Alfred Brendel's cadenzas, but my Phillips recording doesn't say who composed these and, above all, where I can find them.

All publications I have checked include Almighty's cadenzas. Can anyone help with suggestions and information on where I can find others that agree more with the Mozart style? Please, note that I cannot compose anything to save my life and have no doubt that if I ever even tried, Mozart would come out of his grave as a Zombie to chase me with a stick and eat my brain.

Thanks for any help with this.

Really??? You don't like Beethoven's cadenzas, since they're not quite Mozart like, but you like Smetanas???



BEST OF LUCK to you...
