During one performance of the Suite for cello and tape, the apparatus playing back the electroacoustic part suddenly stopped working, and the performer finished playing the work alone. It was then that the idea arose to single out a passage from the closing part of the cello in the fifth movement of the Suite, beginning with the solo instrument’s cadenza, and recompose it into a separate work: Cadenza. It begins with a simple ostinato motif, which, developing and transforming to a paroxysmal finale, creates a form that gives the performer a great deal of freedom and the opportunity to display his or her own inventiveness and interpretation.
