    He’d been listening to PDQ Bach and ” So you want to make a fugue” ! Interesting but unmemorable

    Does the job, maybe some soloist will use it just to see how well it fits. It’ll need a transition back to work but that shouldn’t pose too great a challenge. I think LvB would like it …..

    Lars Vogt used this cadenza in his recording with Rattle
