A cadenza is a virtuosic solo passage inserted into a movement of a concerto or other work, typically near the end, and often allows for a display of the soloist's technical skill and interpretative abilities. It is usually improvised or written by the performer, although some composers have written out cadenzas for their concertos.

In the typical structure of a classical concerto, which generally consists of three movements in a fast-slow-fast format, the cadenza most commonly appears in the first movement, although it can also be found in subsequent movements. The placement of the cadenza within the movement is traditionally near the end of the development section, just before the recapitulation, where the themes of the exposition are revisited.

The cadenza serves as a dramatic pause in the forward momentum of the concerto, during which the orchestra stops playing and the soloist takes over, showcasing their abilities in a passage that is often elaborate and challenging. After the cadenza, the soloist signals the orchestra to re-enter, and the movement typically concludes with a coda or a return to the main themes of the exposition.

The cadenza's role is both to highlight the soloist's artistry and to provide a moment of tension and release within the concerto's overall structure. It is a unique feature that distinguishes the concerto from other musical forms and allows for a personal expression within the framework of the composed material.
