Two Cadenzas for Mozart's Piano Concerto in G Major, K. 453

About this work

The two cadenzas offer two readings of the same point in Mozart’s concerto. One may favour thematic clarity while the other thickens the texture; comparing them shows that a cadenza is also a formal choice.

Identify motives borrowed from the movement before practising the runs. They show where a phrase begins, where it transforms and how the piano needs to prepare the collective return.

Try both versions with the same underlying tempo. The more brilliant one is not automatically more convincing: choose the version whose breaths and density match your interpretation of the concerto.
