I wrote an original cadenza for a Beethoven Piano Concerto that you may not know existed (usually designed as No. 0). A piece he wrote when he was 14yo but unfortunately only the piano part survived. This arrangement is for Piano and String Quintet, but most of the accompaniment had to be recomposed (using themes introduced by the piano part).
The candeza is here:

Terrible with the terminology of classical music, so sorry if those aren’t specific enough. The Beethoven piece I specifically have in mind is Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major, Op. 15: III Rondo. Allegro scherzando from Igor Levit, Xiaohan Wang, Kölner Kammerorchester, and Helmut Müller-Brühl.
Basically just after some really happy, upbeat, exciting, fun pieces. Ones that put a smile on your face and have you pretending to be a conductor!
Also curious about this! Discuss!

does anyone have sheets for a solo? i only found ones for two hands and moszkowski's sheet for only the adagio.
saw cyprien katsaris perform his own arrangement here but i dont think he published sheets?
I am brand new to the classical scene, but I feel I am right on target with feeling that this is a legendary piece. Please correct me if I am wrong. I’m still learning this whole world of music, and navigating it has been fun. Still looking for things I like. This piece has been one of the first that has stuck out to me.
I have just finished a transcription of Beethoven's 1st Piano Concerto, and thought you guys might be interested.
