Best Cadenzas for Mozart #3

March 10, 2004 at 02:14 PM · I liked the Franko cadenza for the first movement so much that I ended up limiting my choice of recordings of this concerto to ones that used that cadenza. It's included in the Schirmer edition.

I stopped playing the Ferdinand David cadenza because of the reason you mentioned, although last time I heard Mutter play this piece, she was still playing David cadenza (like Zuckerman on his CD). I like Franco Gulli's cadenzas because they sound like Italian Mozart (which I think Mozart would have loved!) So I wrote my own. Hey, maybe I could post it somewhere...I also just noticed I have Oistrakh's cadenzas, but they are romantic too. Good for a competition to show what u can do, but not for a concert if it is really about Mozart's music.

So here are my cadenzas for Mozart G-major concerto. The first movement is very modest, like the the piece itself. I got more into it in the 2nd movement. Let me know what you think. If you play them, give me credit!

March 11, 2004 at 02:10 PM · Franco?

if you're referring to he spelling, it's definitely Franko. Sam Franko

yes the cadenza begins with double stops... a major 3rd of g (sul D) & b (sul A) followed by a major 2nd of g & a

Awesome Cadenzas! Very original and they really are alot more Mozartish then the Ysaye cadenzas.

What are your thoughts on the Kreisler and Auer cadenzas?
