And whose rules are those? Although I may agree with your basic sentiment, I believe you are citing these guidelines as rules when they are actually opinions. Indeed, those members of the "top ten players in the world" are normally given a bit of leeway because of their stature, but even they are dancing in a world where the rules are not totally and clearly established.

My opinion concerning cadenzas is that the notes are mostly absolute. The performer has a great deal of license in the area of interpretation, however. I must emphasize that these are my opinions. They are not words spoken to tuba players(and other musicians) by God himself.

And now...members of the tuba and euphonium community may choose to agree or disagree. Enjoy!
