lox Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 The cadenza begins at around 11:34. What do you guys think of it. I developed both melodically and harmonically the subject of the solo exposition and the second subject. I have to admit though the way I play in this recording is not the best and I may create a separate video of a better performance of my cadenza. This performance was for an end of school concert. What an amazing experience it was. what are your thoughts? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KIBKvZoYPB4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodore Servin Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Wow, your cadenza is really quite beautiful! I don't really have anything critical to say, it's just how a cadenza ought to be written - pianistic, improvisatory, harmonically adventurous, and referencing the themes and motifs and textures of the rest of the concerto. Great job, and your performance was beautiful! I'm sure it must have been wonderful to play the concerto with a full orchestra, especially with your original cadenza!

I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was an absolutely amazing experience for me and one that I will never forget. Playing with an orchestra is something I’ve never done before. your cadenza is also very beautiful with its rich harmonies and unexpected developments. Did you take some inspiration from Brahms’ cadenza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you take some inspiration from Brahms’ cadenza? Thank you! Mine was actually mostly inspired by a cadenza written about 30 years ago, by a Czech pianist called Ivan Klansky. Here is his performance of the concerto, with his cadenza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFw7djZOoyY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
