The present list includes cadenzas by well over 100 violinists and composers, some whom have written more than a single cadenza set. The list is copyrighted. When quoting it please credit the author and provide the complete URL. Please send any information about inaccuracies or omissions to: info@wulfhorst-web.com.
    The author would like to thank Roland Folter,  Albert Markov, Douglas Woodfull-Harris, and in particular, Johannes Neuberger and Uwe Sauerteig for valuable suggestions and additions.

As evident from Beethoven’s piano transcription op. 61a, the composer himself intended cadenzas, lead-ins (Eingänge), or fermata embellishments to be played not at three but at FIVE points:
➀ cadenza, first movement, m. 510
➁ fermata embellishment, second movement, m. 24 (the fermata embellishment at the analogous point in m. 14 is written out)
➂ cadenza (Eingang) between the second and third movements, m. 91
➃ cadenza (Eingang), third movement, m. 92
➄ cadenza, third movement, m. 279.
Most published and unpublished cadenza sets, however, include only cadenzas for points ➀, ➂, and ➄. For further details and suggestions for the missing cadenzas see Wulfhorst , 2009).
