@rtomsc Generally a cadenza will come with the score and be printed right into the soloist's score. Ocassioanlly multiple cadenzas exist whether written by the composer themselves or another artist; these can be harder to find, usually you have to chase a certain edition for it (and often editions offer two or more cadenzas), nowadays tho scores and things like that are easier than ever to find online.
As a historical footnote: cadenzas were originally emply spaces left in concerti for the soloist to improvise and show off their technique. While composers would often offer one, it was always "ad libitum" and the soloist could do what they wanted. It seems tho, as musical form evolved that the composers would leave very specific cadenzas that would function not only to showcase technique but acted as a kind of "recapitualtion" of the concertos themes therein.
Please excuse all the typos above! A laptop and awkward position will do that!
The cadenza for this concerto is at the end of the first movement (see my vid of this concerto Mvmt I part 2 for the cadenza). Cadenzas usually, but not always, are at the end of the first movement and occasionally have another, usually less spectacular, and/or shorter one in the third,
a moment of relax after the powerful and exhausting 1st movement, Paganini has been labeled as the greatest violinist in history, among his many spectacular performances was the one where he played too many difficult cadenzas with only one string left at purpose on his instrument, so he could show off, but he really deserved to do it,
where would you find the cadenzas in print. do you have to write them yourself??

Yeah, he had a lot of "tricks" that just happened to revolutionize violin technique!
