Re: Copland Cadenza Interpretation?

Author: Ed Palanker

It is my feeling that a cadenza is usually interpreted in a free style. In the 18th and 19th century it often indicated that the performer would make up their own cadenza. With that in mind it is my belief that most cadenzas, the Copland included, is open to some individual playing, certainly with in good taste and musical bounds. The most boring performances I’ve heard of this particular cadenza is when a player simply plays it as fast as possible with no other musical ideas other then exactly what’s written on the page. Was that Copland’s intention? I think not but I guess that’s what individual musicianship means, individual. If it was played exactly as it’s written with no other interpretation it might as well be played on a computer instead of a clarinet. Everyone should perform this with their personal signature and interpretation, but always in good taste and within reasonable bounds. A little slower here, a dim. or cresc. there, a breath or small pause there, not a problem for me as long as it’s musical and not boring. ESP www.peabody.jhu.edu/457
Listen to a little Mozart, no cadenza
