Composed by me, April-May 2006. (Actually this was my very first composition / arrangement - not that there are many at all...)

When I got the chance to play this concerto with an orchestra, I decided to compose my own cadenza to go with it. I'm uploading this to show people that there is no absolute need to play Mozart's cadenzas - if you get to perform this piece go find an obsucre cadenza or write your own, but don't take the boring option!

Viewers who don't know much about this concerto or what a cadenza is be warned, you probably won't understand exactly what this video is exactly about.

These three cadenza videos are also an occasion to test my new microphone which I didn't by for music-related reasons but might as well use to enhance my recordings! Please tell me what you think about the new quality! I like the improved dynamics and clarity very much, but at times it feels a little TOO clear - you can almost hear a "click" every time i play a note at times.
