I don't know what cadenza's I do like, but I know what I don't: I have the Sanzone
version of Mozart 4 (sheet music), and the cadenza is awful. I originally thought
that it was me, I first played it at age 13. The more I play it, the more I realize
it's just not very good.
Someone mentioned double stops (chords). I think they would be appropriate in a
Mozart cadenza. Wasn't that one of Punto's tricks? Didn't he live around that same
time? I don't think it would be out of place, but it's hard to do . . . I guess you
should only play it if you can play it right.
I am currently working on writing cadenzas for an independant study in horn
repertoire. We're doing Mozart's 4th. I'm having some trouble. I can develop the
themes, but I can't get them to go together. Does anyone have any suggestions for
writing cadenzas? I've never done it before, and really don't know what to do.
