 Forza del Destino Candeza

Hi everyone. I'm playing a band piece and my director is looking to insert a short cadenza for the clarinet based on the slow section in the Overture to Forza del Destino. It's based on the slow section but he wants it to be virtuosic and technical as well. Was wondering if anyone was willing to write one? It would be in the key of C minor (clarinet key).

I read your post to say that the piece you're actually going to insert this into is *not* a band arrangement of the Forza del Destino Overture. Why does he want to base the cadenza on it specifically? What is the actual piece you're playing?

Just curious.

Italian Rhapsody by Julie Giroux. We were toying with the idea of the cadenza and I just performed the Verdi with my youth orchestra so we came up with the idea of making a cadenza off of that. The piece's segments are based off various Italian folk songs or orchestral works by Verdi/Puccini.

Do as you wish, but a cadenza normally uses thematic material from the work itself. You use the audience's familiarity with something they just heard as a base for more extended technical display (usually) than already exists in the work. Drawing in a new tune defeats that purpose.
