Cadenza: Difference between revisions

*Mozart wrote a cadenza into the third and final movement of [[Piano Sonata No. 13 (Mozart)|Piano Sonata in B-flat major, K. 333]], which was an unusual (but not unique) choice at that time because the movement is otherwise in [[Sonata rondo form|sonata-rondo form]].{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}

*[[Ludwig van Beethoven|Beethoven]]'s [[Piano Concerto No. 5 (Beethoven)|"Emperor" Concerto]] contains a notated cadenza.<ref name="Grove"/> It begins with a cadenza that is partly accompanied by the orchestra. Later in the first movement, the composer specifies that the soloist should play the music that is written out in the score, and not add a cadenza on one's own.

* Beethoven famously included a cadenza-like solo for [[oboe]] in the [[recapitulation (music)|recapitulation]] section of the first movement of his [[Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven)|Symphony No. 5]].

*[[Tchaikovsky]]'s [[Piano Concerto No. 1 (Tchaikovsky)|first piano concerto]] is notable not only for having a cadenza within the first few minutes of the first movement, but also for having a ''second'' – substantially longer – cadenza in a more conventional place, near the end of the movement.
