Editing Cadenza (section)

==In jazz==
Perhaps the most notable deviations from this tendency towards written (or absent) cadenzas are to be found in [[jazz]], most often at the end of a [[ballad (music)|ballad]], though cadenzas in this genre are usually brief. Saxophonist [[John Coltrane]], however, usually improvised an extended cadenza when performing "I Want To Talk About You", in which he showcased his predilections for scalar improvisation and [[multiphonic]]s. The recorded examples of "I Want To Talk About You" (''[[Live at Birdland (John Coltrane album)|Live at Birdland]]'' and ''[[Afro Blue Impressions]]'') are approximately 8 minutes in length, with Coltrane's unaccompanied cadenza taking up approximately 3 minutes. More sardonically, jazz critic [[Martin Williams (writer)|Martin Williams]] once described Coltrane's improvisations on "Africa/Brass" as "essentially extended cadenzas to pieces that never get played."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.reitzes.com/coltrane1.html |title=A Love Supreme: God Breathes Through John Coltrane |author=Reitzes, David |year=1998 |access-date=1 May 2010}}</ref> Equally noteworthy is saxophonist [[Sonny Rollins]]' shorter improvised cadenza at the close of "Three Little Words" (''[[Sonny Rollins on Impulse!]]'').{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}

Cadenzas are also found in instrumental solos with piano or other accompaniment, where they are placed near the beginning or near the end or sometimes in both places (e.g. the cornet solo "The Maid of the Mist" by [[Herbert L. Clarke]], or the end of "Think of Me" in [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]'s ''[[The Phantom of the Opera (1986 musical)|The Phantom of the Opera]]'', where Christine Daaé sings a short but involved cadenza).
