I wouldn't say that a cadenza is common there, especially if you think about how many people play this piece the world over, and how many are operating from the W. Strasser edition that so many district festivals require students to play from. I have heard a few recordings that include a cadenza. Besides Neidich's, Phillipe Cuper includes one in his recording with the Brittany Orchestra (actually it's the cadenza in the Weston edition that he includes, which she attributes to Baermann). It's not really that long or intricate, at least in my opinion. You could actually take the stance that it's not proper to include such a thing there as the preceding harmony doesn't provide the prepartation for a cadenza in the classical sense, but I think a brief one is nice. Besides, it's Weber, so it's not purely in the classical style. It's far from essential, merely something I've heard that I now suggest purely based on personal preference.
