In Reply to: Thinking about improvisation led to cadenzas; care to discuss? posted by kitch29 on March 16, 2017 at 08:45:39:
I can't do it at all.
I read somewhere that composers up to Debussy expected their music to be subject to improvisation. That shocked me. I think it was in Harold Schoenberg's "Great Pianists" book.
Great read for novice and veteran.
