A '''Cadenza''' is a parenthetic flourish in a solo piece commonly just before a final or other important [[cadence]]. In a concerto, a cadenza will often have the orchestra stop playing while the soloist performs alone. While cadenzas were originally improvised, modern music typically writes out the cadenza portion.
'''Notable Cadenzas'''
Beethoven's "Emporor" Concerto
Aaron Copland's Clarinet Concerto
Tartini's "Devil's Trill" Sonata
