Cadenzas for Mozart’s Flute and Harp Concerto

These three festive cadenzas are composed as a dialogue between the flute and the harp, very much in the style of Mozart and near the original text of the concerto’s themes. The flute part has virtuosity that comes easily under the fingers. The harp part has some new melodic and harmonic patterns, but also very near the original style of the concerto. What a joy for the performers, and especially for the audience!
