cadenza
C2CEFR level
70/100Rarity: rare
TechnicalRegister
A virtuoso solo passage inserted into a piece of music, often near the end.
The pianist dazzled the audience with an improvised cadenza before the orchestra returned.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
