This solo cadenza was written by Brahms for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24, K.491. Drawing on the concerto’s musical ideas, it creates a dense Brahmsian texture through harmonic tension, contrapuntal writing, and weighty sonorities. Its appeal lies not only in its virtuoso brilliance, but also in the interplay of multiple voices and the growing momentum toward the close. In performance, it is important to bring out each voice without allowing the inner parts to disappear, while balancing a sense of freedom in the timing with a firm underlying pulse.
