I know that many issues ago, the subject of improvisation on the Mozart
concerto came up and was a conversation piece for quite some time. Last
night I attended the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center and heard
Stolzman perform the concerto. He did much improvization and added many
cadenzas, which I thought were all tasteful and in keeping with the piece and
its theme. Although I'm not sure I would attempt to do so much myself, I
appreciated the approach Stolzman took, and the performance gave me a new
view of the piece itself.
