Cadenza fun

Dispatches from the Imperfection Lab

I wrote in this post about having a copyist friend notate my cadenza for me; this is the video I sent as reference. Note (pun not intended) that this isn’t practiced, and the expanded scale in particular is pretty rough since it’s legitimately thorny and I was in a hurry and wasn’t able to really iron it out.

I posted at some point (and can’t be bothered to dig up the link at the moment) the video of the first iteration of the cadenza, which was more barebones and not fully fleshed out. This is more or less what I intend the finished product to be, only, you know, I hope I actually play it better in performance.
