First Movement
Piano Concerto 20 in D minor
Klavierkonzert 20 in Re moll
Mozart

Commissioned by Richault
With a cadenza writen by Alkan in 1860.
Similar to his cadenza for Beethoven's 3rd Concerto, Alkan takes heavy use of motifs within the concerto, such as the opening bass-drill, and takes it to the extreme. In the cadenza, Alkan also alludes and quotes a theme from Mozart's Jupiter Symphony.

  • Haha, just like the Beethoven Concerto cadenza, when it got to 1:12, I was like "Jupiter Symohony? WHAT?" Hahaha!! Good ole' Alkan!!

  • @cloudftw93 The main thing is why did you feel the need to comment on my opinion of this cadenza thus causing an argument? If anything you're the one who is undermining peoples taste in music. Furthermore I did not look for this cadenza, I had just happened to click on this video as it was a suggestion to one of the videos I was watching.
