🇮🇹Ferruccio Busoni ： Cadenza for Mozart Piano Concerto No.24 in c-moll

This solo cadenza is intended for insertion into Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24. Drawing on musical material inherited from the original work, it presents a free, improvisatory development and a high level of virtuosity. A particular highlight is the way the material is transformed as the music builds toward a virtuosic climax and gathers itself toward the conclusion. The performer should keep the intricate movement of the notes clear while shaping the tension and release of the harmony on a broad scale. Rather than fixing the tempo mechanically, attention to the direction and breathing of each phrase brings out the expressive power of the solo writing.
