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.
