Last night I watched Richard Goode's performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 from the 2006 Proms. The cadenza in the first movement sounded like Beethoven, but I'm not sure whether he wrote one for this concerto. Can anybody out there enlighten me? Thank you!

It cannot be Beethoven, as he composed only a cadenza for the d-minor KV466 (WoO 58).
It even can be doubted whether he knew KV488. -
As K488 has a cadenza written by Mozart that is the one that is usually played. Brave pianists sometimes choose the cadenza that Busoni wrote. As Roehre indicates, this one would not be Beethoven.Comment
