Brigitte Hilkenbach, Oboe-Fagott

" ... [Wolfgang] manages to successfully merge Mozart's original musical language with contemporary idioms ... I would love to perform these two Cadenzas at a recital, and I'm sure that the audience would be in for a surprise."


Daniel Lipori, The Double Reed

" If you are searching for some cadenzas for this concerto, you might want to check these out as a fresh alternative to some of the other written out cadenzas available."
