"Cadenzas in E flat major - Incl. 2 Accompanying Horn Parts" Sheet Music by Krzysztof Penderecki
In the late classical period composers began to want to determine every note in the cadenzas of solo concertos, rather than leaving this as a matter for the soloist’s virtuoso inspiration. Penderecki’s cadenzas for Haydn’s celebrated trumpet concerto are written in this tradition, but the creative will of the modern composer makes them far wider in scope. Penderecki’s stylistic methods leave the soloist every opportunity to display their virtuoso skills. The original notes of Haydn’s concerto movements remain present as an underlying framework. Having the horn parts worked into the cadenzas produces a highly structured form that shows the trumpet concerto of the Classical period reflected in the light of modern composition techniques.
