Harold,
I am not a musicologist by any means, and I do agree with your idea of
personalization of cadenzas. For Mozart's bassoon concerto we have the Ibert
set of cadenzas, which I believe to be quite pretty. Oubradous used them on
his recording, and I have not heard them since. A pity. Unless the composer
wrote the intended cadenza, I think we should be free to play any style, as
long as it relates to the concerto itself. Eg using material from the
movements.
Good luck. I will be interested in the responses.
Best,
Herb
