- Description
"Che dolce piacere perdere la strada" - "It is a sweet pleasure to get lost": The concert cadenza is an island of freedom and unpredictability. One has the feeling of listening to the soloist playing something very private. The competitive size of the orchestra is gone. Even if the cadenza is often fully composed, it remains improvisation. It reflects what has happened or strays into something completely new.
First we go back to the Viennese Classical period and practise the artful ornamentation of the six-four chord and its resolution in the style of the time, with Mozart in focus. Then we practise sequences of different types and complexity, alone and in groups, with and without piano; motivic elaborations are not to be missed, nor are harmonic wildnesses, cadential gallantries, simple song-like periodics and, and, and....
Finally, we explore the cadenza as a foreign "piece within a piece", as Alfred Schnittke, for example, demonstrates in Beethoven's Violin Concerto.- Credits
