Kadenz

Fazıl Say composed this Cadenza on Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 as early as 2001. Meanwhile, this early work by the Turkish composer and pianist has become part of the repertoire of international concert stages and is known particularly for its ironic refraction: Say imitates, among other things, a music box playing Beethoven, thus closing the gap between Viennese Classicism and our time.
