i like the cadenza that jon manasse uses in his recording of the webers. i
think it is appropriate to embelish there. try to check out that recording
if you can- i'm sure there are also other recordings that have other
cadenzas. just to give you some ideas- then maybe you'd want to just make
up your own?

anyway, good luck.

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?

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 :)

Craig
