Nathan Cole, cadenza for Mozart Violin Concerto No. 4

Download my cadenza and learn how to write your own:
link.natesviol...
Violin: 1729 Stradivari, "Jack Benny"
Bow: Finn Meyer, 2001
For years, I'd promised myself that when (if) I got to play a Mozart concerto with orchestra, I'd play my own cadenza. I waited, 10...15...20 years.
Then I got the chance. On 2 days' notice. So... tried-and-true Joachim it was. "The next time, I swear I'll have my own cadenza ready!" I vowed.
Well, I still don't have a Mozart 4 date on the calendar, but my cadenza will be ready. Unless I decide to tear it down and rebuild it.
The download linked above contains not only the final part for this cadenza, but my sketches and key motifs. Why not try your hand at writing your own?

I was following you because of your magnificent approach to Milstein's legendary violín... Now I was informed of your new engagement as BSO concertmaster. Well deserved, congratulations, Mr. Cole!!! 😃

I like how the length is in proportion to the movement. Very elegant.

Hi Mr. Cole. I'm really appreciate for your all videos. I'm trying to develop my skills and these masterclasses videos really helps me. May I ask you that can you share some videos about music theory, something like what is cadenza and how its working, when the composer putting in the music, how it starts and continue etc.
Because i love the way you're teaching so clear and understandable and i need to develop my music theory. Because i understand with watching videos better then reading. Thanks a lot! I wish you health, greetings from Turkiye 🌼
