This one made me cry. It is beyond magic this candenza!

Wow, incredible musician. I used to play one so I know how difficult this level must be. Thank you. Amazing.

Saw this magnificent man play twice live and went to a party for him afterwards . He was trying to hit on my GF and I was thrilled to have him floating around her all evening. He also played 5 or 6 horns, for 2 hours and never came close to missing a note. One of the 2 or 3 best classical trumpet players ever . RIP Maestro. If there is a heaven I'll be looking for private lessons :) .

That’s so cool you got to meet him. I did a presentation on him in college and learned a bit more about his personal life but I’m sure you know more interesting things than Wikipedia LOL

[@theimp5901]

@Nathan Bohr My biggest recollection was his unending pursuit of Eve. 😆 lol. He was French after all. It was at Milt Davidson's house. Milt was Principal in Dallas and the brother of the more famous Louis Davidson who was Cleveland Principal for 23 years.

I saw Maurice in Philly back in about 1967 at the Academy of Music. Like you said. He had iron chops and could play anything. He, and Adolf Scherbaum were my idols on the Picc back in the day. Andrés was an extremely efficient player

[@albertmoore4445]

I am still waiting for a definitive, intelligent explanation as to what aspects of this cadenza make it perfect for the Haydn Concerto. I feel that it could be more connected to the theme and figures within the movement and employ fewer flashy and romantic passages that seem anachronistic. It should maintain the spirit and style of the movement and be more integral to it so that we feel its brief interruption as a set up for the drive toward the final cadence and not a diversion. Those who disagree should state a clear case for their position. M. Andre would top the list of the world's greatest trumpet soloists in many respects, but there are different strengths in different performers. The overt romanticism, warmth of tone and expressive phrasing of Timofey Dockshutzer, for example, are unique and still largely missing today among trumpet soloists. Edward Tarr's informed interpretations of baroque and classical works for trumpet offer excellent insights into the character of that music. Brilliance of tone and range and perfection of articulation are thrilling, but they are not the only measures of a trumpet player/musician. M. Andre's impeccable playing is comparable to that of the great French flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal. No trumpet player can match his clarity and brilliance, but one can discuss musical interpretation by great performers without detracting from their phenomenal skills.

Albert it’s perfect because I like it the most. Music is subjective whether you like it or not

ALL music is subjective to the listener whether you like it or not. We had standards that some people believe sounds better than others but it doesn’t matter music is still subjective to the listener

[@Chazd1949]

Well, there are a number of alternative cadenzas to choose from. I've played two or three others and this one by Andre is my favorite, I guess because it just works best for me. Maybe you could compose one of your own and share it on KZbin.

[@stephenwilberrealtor6902]

Here’s my thought. It’s a world of entertainment probably as much as musical integrity at this point in civilization. Perhaps 50,years ago we should lambaste his not so perfect stylistic cadenza..lack of motivic use, no melodic relationship etc etc. But with the decline of classical music as a whole ( the attendance not the art or craft of it ) maybe we ought to embrace the pure virtuosity and brilliance of his performance and save the “I’ve been to music school and know a lot” critiques for those performances which really need critical thought. Just my 3 cents

[@albertmoore4445]

A "perfect" cadenza would stay more in the character of the movement. We all admire the incredible Maurice Andre, but the cadenza is a bit over the top and showy for the charming, lyrical Haydn movement, especially the "romantic" second phrase of the cadenza and the flashy double tonguing.

[@theimp5901]

Yes , I believe your version was better, hence actually perfect.

[@anonymusum]

Albert Moore - You´re absolutely right. That´s always the problem when writing or improvising a cadenza. On one hand you want to show some virtuosity, maybe even an own style, on the other the piece sets the standard and the style and you should follow it. But apart from that general issues he didn´t pick up any of Haydn´s themes or motives and that´s something you shouldn´t do in a cadenza.

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Maurice was an incredible player, but the cadenza is not wonderful and falls short of the Haydn standard.

[@theimp5901]

The Allbutt Boor is the definitive version no doubt. As l met and dined with M.Andre twice he never stopped raving about Mr. Boor and how much he was disappointed by failing his mentor. Boor recently recorded his own version on the Flutophone to the delight of 2nd graders he teaches.

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

@Ian Laing When the performer makes his/her own cadenza they are competing with the composer. When you go up against a giant like Haydn you don't have much of a chance of winning.

[@bd1845]

@@stephenjablonsky1941 what are you talking about? The whole point of a cadenza is for the performer to put their own little stamp on a piece that hasn’t been written by the composer. Also the Maurice Andre cadenza has been copied by many other performers like Maurice Murphy, Alison Balsom to name a few.

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

@@bd1845 There is always a problem when the performer is not as good a composer as the composer. Nobody was better than Haydn....OK, maybe Mozart on a good day.

[@bd1845]

@@stephenjablonsky1941 what a stupid analogy. Haydn and Mozart couldn’t play the trumpet as good as Maurice Andre. You really ought to check what the definition of a cadenza is.
