A cadenza is usually now taken to mean a portion near the end of a movement of a concerto in which the orchestra stops playing, leaving the soloist to play alone in free time (without a strict, regular pulse).
The cadenza was originally a vocal flourish improvised by a performer to elaborate a cadence in an aria.
Cadenzas are also found in instrumental solos with piano or other accompaniment, where they are placed near the beginning or near the end or sometimes in both places.

 Cadaeic Cadenza   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Constrained writing is the art of constructing a work of prose or poetry that obeys some artificial condition, often related to the alphabet or some other aspect of word or sentence structure.
Cadaeic Cadenza is a short story of about 4000 words, divided into 14 sections, consisting of a first-person narrative interwoven with some quotations (by the story's narrator) from literature and other sources.
As you read it you might try to guess the primary constraint imposed on the writing of the story, and also several secondary constraints which, as explained in the story itself, only apply to certain sections.
