🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Cadenza for Mozart Piano Concerto No.20 in d-moll

This cadenza by Busoni is intended for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20. Taking the original themes as its point of departure, it explores the freedom of solo piano writing through rich harmony and contrapuntal textures. A highlight is the progression from passages that clarify the contours of the themes to broader musical expansion. In performance, it is important to preserve the stylistic character of the concerto while organizing the overlapping sonorities and bringing out the individual voices. The brilliant virtuosity should not be rushed; it is best shaped naturally within the overall flow, maintaining both tension and lyricism.
