  Cadenza
A cadenza is nowadays usually 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 and demonstrate their virtuosity.
The cadenza was originally a vocal flourish improvised by a performer to elaborate a cadence in an aria.
Third parties also wrote cadenzas for works in which it was intended by the composer to be improvised, so the soloist could have a well formed solo that they could practice in advance.

 Cadenza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cadenza is usually now taken to mean a portion of a concerto in which the orchestra stops playing, leaving the soloist to play alone in free time (without a strict, regular pulse) and can be written or improvised, depending on what the composer specifies.
At the end of the cadenza, the orchestra re-enters, and generally finishes off the movement on their own, or less often with the solo instrument.
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.

 Sergei Rachmaninoff: Ossia Cadenza from Piano Concerto No. 3 in d-minor Op. 30 | Nick Lewis: The Blog
A cadenza is a section in a concerto where the orchestra stops playing; the idea is to give the soloist the full stage to show off.
Rachmaninoff wrote two cadenzas for his third piano concerto; the first cadenza is shorter, softer, and fluid; in contrast, the ossia cadenza (played here) is longer, grander, and more difficult.
Kissen starts his cadenza powerfully -- it sounds as though it will be "the one"; but then, for some reason, he softens at the very climax of the piece, and then plays the heavy chordal section with an unusually soft, punchy, and almost stacatto touch.

 Stereophile: Viola Audio Laboratories Cadenza preamplifier
As I'd expected, the Cadenza delivered the solo piano with all of the little hesitations and nuances that give the movement its pathos—but when the English horn joined in, the purity of its timbre raised every hair on the back of my neck.
To give the Cadenza a thorough test, it occurred to me that I ought to compare it to a top-rated preamp—such as Conrad-Johnson's ACT2 ($12,000), which I reviewed in the March 2005 issue—as well as to a perfectly ordinary mass-market design.
The Cadenza had an in-your-face physicality that reminded me of being in the front row at a concert.
