| Great comments! Great comments so far. I hope I didn't miss this one (I was reading quickly while my sutdents were taking a quiz), but I was coached for my graduate recital to be careful in rushing cadenzas. My teachers told me that a second or two from the auidence point of view may seem like an eternity to the performer. I had a tendency to rush and plow thorugh my cadenzas. I needed to relax and build a sense of repose into them. Take your time with pauses and cadenzas.
Hope that helps!
