I recently had the opportunity to perform the Brahms on Nathan Milstein's violin, thanks to the generosity of its owner and caretaker. I therefore wanted to play a Milstein cadenza rather than the traditional Joachim.

But the published version, in a collection with Milstein's cadenzas for concerti by Beethoven, Mozart, and Paganini, wasn't quite to my taste. Nor could I find a recording of Milstein performing that cadenza as written.

But I loved the one he played in this recording:

So I transcribed it and you will find the download link at the top of this description. And before I handed the violin back, I wanted to give you one more recording of this fantastic cadenza.

I encourage you to learn and record this piece yourself, as a way to gain insight into the "other Nathan's" remarkable facility and style! :)
