Hello all! I have a brief question concerning Carl Maria von Weber's =
Concerto #2. At the very end of the second movement Romanze, there is a =
Cadenza that appears in the fourth bar before the end (Cundy-Bettoney =
version). My question -- is it appropriate to embellish upon the =
written line, and if so, what kind of ornaments should I add? =20

The reason I ask is because I'm considering doing it for a college =
audition, and I want to use the piece to showcase musicality -- so I'm =
looking to add something tasteful that might would be in line with the =
rest of the piece as well as the performance practices of Weber's =
period.

If you have any suggestions on this, or any other points to make about =
the Second Movement I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks :)
