Abstract
This exegesis aims to establish a new set of criteria for the justifiable
selection of a cadenza to be performed with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s
Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, K. 216 (1775).
Having not composed cadenzas for any of his five Violin Concertos,
any performer of this work is required to select, improvise, or compose an
appropriate cadenza, not written by Mozart himself, to implement into their
performance. Having provided cadenzas for many of his piano concertos, this
research will analyse these extant cadenzas to establish Mozart’s composition
style. In conjunction with these analyses, and the available literature
surrounding Mozart and his cadenzas, a new set of criteria will be established.

Introduction
The Classical cadenza is a moment of virtuosic freedom in which the
performer is challenged to captivate the listener creatively and stylistically with
a brief display of instrumental brilliance. For any soloist the cadenza presents
a challenge. If the performer wishes the cadenza to be stylistically
appropriate, they must balance the display of virtuosity. In the performance of
Mozart’s five Violin Concertos 1 there is a subsequent musical and intellectual
challenge.
This exegesis will examine the cadenzas for Mozart’s Piano Concerto
No. 14 in E flat major, K. 449 (1784), and Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major,
K. 488 (1786), and the literature surrounding the Classical cadenza, and seek

to establish an informed criteria for the selection of an appropriate cadenza for
the performance of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, K. 216 (1775),
one of his most frequently performed and recorded works, a Classical
standard, often required for professional auditions and competitions. 4 Due to
the scope of this exegesis, the selection criteria will be used to justify the
selection of Sam Franko’s cadenza for the first movement of the concerto,

Literature Review
Mozart is one of the most widely performed and studied composers of
all time, and thus there has been extensive research into the performance
practice of his Violin Concertos.5 In order to gain a deeper understanding of
the form and performance practices of Mozartean cadenzas, in the absence
of violin cadenzas composed by Mozart, the literature surrounding the existing
cadenzas for Mozart’s piano concertos must be explored. This review will first
examine the literature surrounding the function of the cadenza, followed by
that pertaining to the study of Mozart’s piano cadenzas, and finally the
performance conventions and practices of Mozart’s Violin Concertos.

Exploring the downfalls of modern cadenza performance and
composition, Joseph P. Swain 12 expresses that modern performers possess
very little knowledge or understanding of the structure or purpose of the
cadenza in the Classical concerto beyond its elementary definition. Swain
explores the form and function of the Classical cadenza, so that the modern
performer should understand the relationship one should have with the
concerto movement.

insight into the compositional devices which characterise a Mozartean
Cadenza. From these findings, a new set of criteria for cadenza selection will
be established. From this criteria, Sam Franko’s cadenza will be analysed,
examining how it is reflective of the established criteria, and the methods by
which the performer can further enhance Franko’s writing.

Chapter Two
A Brief History of the Cadenza and the
Cadenza as Epitomised by Mozart
This chapter aims to explore the Classical cadenza genre, examining
how the genre was perceived at the time, and analyse Mozart’s cadenzas for
his Piano Concertos K. 449, and K. 488. In conjunction with Türk's treatise,
and Eva and Paul Badura-Skodas’ research, this analysis will be used to
provide insight into the compositional devices which characterise a Mozartean
Cadenza.
During the Classical Era, the role of the cadenza was essentially to
showcase the performers’ skills. As a passage of variable length placed near
the end of a concerto movement, the cadenza was purposed with providing a
flourish and an opportunity for the performer to display their own virtuosity
within the context of the piece. On a more structural level, the cadenza served
to “prolong the ending” of a piece “with embellishments in order to amplify the
effect of a closing cadence.”14 The Classical cadenza is typically played after
a fermata over a tonic 6-4 chord. Eva Badura-Skoda writes that by the mid-
eighteenth century the cadenza “was reckoned an indispensable part of the
equipment of any virtuoso who hoped to satisfy the listener’s expectations.”15
The resulting length and content of these cadenzas dissatisfied and angered
critics, who accused of a failure to balance virtuosity with musical quality,
appealing to public taste, in empty displays of execution and unmeaning
ornamentation at the expense of genuine musical feeling.16

“I would say nothing new, but only repeat often heard complaints, if I
spoke against the very great abuse of the embellished cadenzas. For
it is not seldom that a concerto seems to be played solely for the sake
of the cadenzas. The performer struggles not only to achieve pointless
length, but also introduces all sorts of ideas that have not the slightest
relation with the preceding composition, so that the good impression
which the piece has perhaps made upon the listener for the most part
has been ‘cadenza-ed away.’” 17
This treatise deals primarily with his experience and knowledge of the
Classical literature, and draws many rules and practices from compositions of
the Classical Era. The treatise affords us invaluable and detailed insight in the
language of Mozart and his contemporaries, providing us a deep
understanding of the expectations of eighteenth century cadenzas. While
dealing with the particulars of the piano, the treatise provides us with key
principal points of a cadenza framework, detailing what should or should not
appear in a cadenza. Türk argues that the most common problem with
cadenza writing is that the cadenza does not appropriately resemble the main
body of work in which it occurs. Instead of being its own separate entity, the
cadenza should reinforce and embellish the themes and motives of the
composition, without sounding too difficult or contrived, clearly linking back to
the movement in which it is placed.18 While the cadenza should form a brief

236-237.

summary or concise arrangement of the larger work, it is also equally
important to offer variety. The cadenza should offer a virtuosic sense of flair,
consisting not of intentionally added difficulties, but ideas that are
scrupulously suited to the character of the main composition.19 As Türk states
“a cadenza does not have to be erudite, but novelty, wit, an abundance of
ideas and the like are so much more its indispensable requirements.”20
In relation to length and tonal centres, Türk writes that the cadenza
should not be made too long, especially if the composition is of a melancholic
nature.21 Modulations must only be used with much insight, and all
dissonances must be properly resolved, and motives should not be repeated
in the same key too frequently. 22 The same tempo or meter should not be
maintained throughout the cadenza, and each section must be skilfully linked.
Lastly, Türk states that in the case of prepared cadenzas, importance should
be placed on making it sound more spontaneous, performed as if it were
improvised.

This study will examine Mozart’s cadenzas for his Piano Concertos K.
449 and K. 488. Mozart’s Piano Concerto K. 449 in E flat major was one of six
concertos composed in 1784, and the cadenza demonstrates both Mozart’s
virtuosic and thematic treatment, reflective of many of his works, especially
those composed in the same year. Uniquely, Mozart’s Piano Concerto in A, K.
488, was written into the score in the autograph.23 The majority of surviving
cadenzas composed by Mozart were kept separately, often by students or
patrons he had sent them to, and only collated posthumously by his wife and
publishers.24 It is commonly believed that, due to its inclusion in the
autograph, the cadenza was conceived as a part of the movement, and
should therefore be left untampered.25 It is for above reasons that these
cadenzas are the subject of this study.
With reference to the cadenzas for his Piano Concertos K. 449 and K.
488 it is evident that the vacant virtuosity of the early Classical cadenzas, as

discussed earlier in Chapter Two, did not fulfil Mozart. 27 Mozart’s piano
cadenzas demonstrate that the cadenza should offer perfect proportion to its
movement while not forgetting its two original functions, namely, to reinforce
the effect of the final cadence and to display the soloist’s virtuosic proficiency.
“an ‘opening’ (1), which begins either with one of the themes of the
concerto or with virtuoso passage-work… a middle section (II) which is
almost always a sequential development of some important theme or
motive from the concerto movement… This is the starting point for a
number of virtuoso runs, arpeggios, etc., which lead to a closing
section (III) of the cadenza, usually ending on a trill.” 28
27 Cheung, p 2.
10
like an artificial addition. Eva and Paul Badura-Skoda describe this thematic
device as a “linking character”30 whereby either the thematic material from the
movement is imitated by the solo voice upon its cadenza entrance whether in
its original form or a treated variation, or through the inclusion of a virtuosic
passage (Figs. 1 and 2). Together with harmonic planning, this strategy
ensures that the cadenza remains an essential structural component of the
overall movement.31

The first section of the cadenza demonstrates a virtuosic linking character beginning
with a scale passage which leads to a virtuosic arpeggiated figure in the tonic key.
Repeating twice, the figure modulates to the dominant key of E major, and then to
the diminished third of the scale.

These linking passages lead into the middle section of the cadenza,
which in accordance to Türk’s treatise and Eva and Paul Badura-Skodas’
blueprint, features virtuosic and thematic development of the movement’s
thematic material (Figs. 5, 6 and 7).

The virtuosic displays found in Mozart’s cadenzas are precisely suited
to the main character of the composition and do not comprise of intentionally
added difficulties that do not favour the development and character of the
cadenza. These virtuosic passages lead to the closing section of the cadenza,
which usually concludes on a trill (Figs. 10 and 11).

Although there is debate as to whether Mozart would have performed
such cadenzas himself, or if the cadenzas are simplified versions for pupils
and patrons,33 these examples provide a significant insight into the structure
and style that Mozart intended. In conjunction with Türk’s treatise, and Eva
and Paul Badura-Skodas’ structural outline, the analyses present a clear
depiction of the requirements of a cadenza in the Mozartean style. It is in this
that the following selection criteria can be established (discussed in Chapter
Three), allowing the performer to select a cadenza for the performance of
Mozart’s Violin Concerto no. 3 in G major, K. 216, from the existing catalogue
under informed recommendations.

Chapter Three
Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3: Selection
Criteria for the First Movement Cadenza
In this chapter, criteria based on the treatise of Turk will be developed
in order to easily identify the classic structure of a Mozartian cadenza. From
the analyse of Mozart’s piano cadenzas in Chapter Two, in conjunction with
Türk's treatise, and Eva and Paul Badura-Skodas’ research, this informed
criteria will then be used to illustrate why Sam Franko’s cadenza for the
concerto is a justifiable selection to be performed with Mozart’s Violin
Concerto No. 3 in G major, K. 216. Establishing Franko’s cadenza as a
justifiable selection, this chapter will then determine the methods by which the
performer can further enhance Franko’s composition, to better reflect the
determined criteria. This chapter will commence with a brief history of the
concerto, and the structural outlines of its first movement: Allegro.

The first movement, Allegro, is in sonata form and begins with the
orchestra boldly presenting the opening theme in the key of G major. The
movement’s main theme, which closely resembles the Shepherd King’s first-
act aria from Mozart’s Opera, Il re pastore (The Shepherd King), K.208
(1775), is bright and optimistic, and forms a discussion between the solo violin
and the accompaniment when the violin presents an equally bold statement of
the theme. The conversational structure between soloist and orchestra,
demonstrating Mozart’s skills as an adept opera composer, is shown
throughout all three movements of the composition. Following the opening
statement by both the orchestra and violin, the key modulates to the dominant
D major. The optimistic character of the opening theme is mirrored as a
sequence of similarly charismatic themes emerge. The development section
sees the inclusion of a new lyrical melody that acts in contrast to the rhythmic
nature of the exposition and its themes. The development also includes a
modulation into the key of d minor, adding tension and harmonic colour, which
on return of the bright opening statement in the recapitulation and the tonic
key of G major, further illuminates the character of the main theme. An
orchestral fermata is inserted towards the conclusion of the first movement
where a cadenza should be performed.

Length A cadenza should offer perfect proportion to its parent movement
and must be treated to be an essential structural component of the
overall movement rather than simply a prolonged virtuosic display.
Tempo The same tempo and meter should not be maintained throughout
the cadenza, and each section must be skilfully linked.

Case Study: Sam Franko’s Cadenza
This case study will focus on Sam Franko’s cadenza for Mozart’s Violin
Concerto No. 3 in G major, K.216, and analyse its merit, based on the
selection criteria developed in this chapter. A brief introduction to the
composer will be followed by an analysis of the length, thematic treatment,
integration, structure, virtuosity, and tempo, as well as methods by which the
performer can further enhance Franko’s writing.

makes this a virtuosically balanced cadenza. While Franko does employ the
use of virtuosic devices, such as double stops, it is only in service of
extending the harmonic texture, further enhancing the thematic development
of his cadenza.

The original thematic material in the Orchestral tutti.
The linking character offers many opportunities for the soloist to further
enhance the musical material. The rhythmic simplicity of the sequence allows
the player to greatly affect and further enhance the harmonic structure. The
simple use of rubato throughout the passage and variable weighting of
different harmonic changes allows the player to further enhance the tension
resulting from the fermata not resolving to the tonic key of G major. This
technique enhances the sense of familiarity upon the return to the tonic key
and the arrival at the movement’s second theme.

occurrences. The theme is instead presented with a legato slur across the two
crotchets, in which the appoggiatura is also replaced by even quavers (Fig.
15). The melody is first presented by the violin as double stops in the key of G
major. The theme is then repeated in the new key of e minor, concluding on
an unresolved double stop, adding further harmonic interest and tension to
the thematic development.

25
Franco employs the use of the concerto movement’s most lyrical
melody as the second theme of cadenza’s thematic development. In its
original appearance in the concerto (Fig. 16), the 10 bar melodic line is played
by the violin, acting in contrast to the rhythmic nature of the concerto’s
exposition and its themes. Appearing twice in the cadenza, the melody is
fragmented, presenting only the first 4 bars. In accordance with Türk’s criteria,
which is utilised in the established selection criteria, each appearance of the
melody is unique. Although he employs the use of double stops, the first
appearance of the fragmented melody occurs in its original pitch (Fig. 17), as
it appearers in the concerto. Upon the theme’s second appearance (Fig. 18),
the melody is expanded further, encompassing a broader range of pitch,
offering further development of the theme. The melody in its original
appearance in the concerto is accompanied by running quavers in the
accompaniment. Due to the unaccompanied nature of the cadenza, the
performer is at liberty to employ rubato, further enhancing the harmonic
tension and subsequent resolution employed by Franko.

28
The second section continues with a virtuosic arpeggiated passage,
that in accordance to the selection criteria, is suited to the main character of
the composition (Fig. 21). While the passage does not provide thematic
material, the inclusion acts to add virtuosic excitement to the cadenza, as
demonstrated in Mozart’s piano cadenzas.

Franko interrupts the final flourish to the closing trill with a brief
representation of the movement’s opening theme (Figs. 23 and 24). While no
such thematic device is evident in the piano cadenzas studied, in agreement
with the selection criteria, the addition acts to extend and enrich the cadenza’s
29
ending with thematic material. This can be further enhanced by the performer
ensuring that the two note motif is performed with the same articulation used
during the motif’s first appearance in the concerto movement to create
thematic familiarity.

30
This analysis reveals that Sam Franko’s cadenza for Mozart’s Violin
Concerto No. 3 in G major, K. 216 adheres to the selection criteria for length,
thematic treatment, integration, structure, virtuosity, and tempo. Franko’s
cadenza does not posses the inequality and separation of cadenza from
movement that is demonstrated in many cadenzas, but provides a concise
summary of the larger work, with the virtuosic identity that is demanded by
cadenza performance.
31
Chapter Four
Conclusion
While it is difficult to know exactly how Mozart would have composed
or performed cadenzas for his Violin Concertos, from the analyses of the
extant cadenzas for Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 14 in E flat major, K. 449,
and Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, K. 488, in conjunction with Türk’s
treatise, and the Badura-Skodas’ structural outline, an informed selection
criteria can be derived. Given the extensive quantity of treatises and research
into Mozart’s Piano Concertos and the Classical cadenza, it is therefore
important that similar criteria are established for the violin.
