My understanding of a cadenza is that it is an improvised passage within a concerto, for instance, wherein the soloist may embellish the original music and show their own virtuosity. Having such a strict adherence to a method of playing a cadenza as mentioned above seems to defeat the purpose. Even a cadenza written out, either by the composer of the work or by an arranger/editor may be subject to individual interpretation and expression according to one's abilities and creativity. Or am I mistaken?
