What Do You Want to Express in the Free Spaces of Life?

The cadenza comes at a point in a concerto, the concerto. The Tchaikovsky violin concerto has what is considered to be a standard cadenza. In its conception, a cadenza is really traditionally written by the soloist performing. And that's where you get some of these improvisational moments. When I did this St. George concerto in 2016, I wanted to write my own cadenza because there did not exist a standard traditional cadenza as they didn't care because he was black.
