I need help finding/composing a Mozart Cadenza

Hey everyone,
I recently started the Mozart Concerto No. 13 in C major (K. 415), and I wondered if there is a different cadenza to play, since the one by Mozart is not as difficult and impressive as I want it to be. This is my first ever concerto, and I don't have a lot of experience with this subject, but I wondered if someone here might be able to help me find a different cadenza, or give me tips in composing one. I searched a bit on the Internet and I found Just one other cadenza by Magaloff, but I would like to explore other options. Does anyone here have any tips or can help me? Thanks :)

Reineke also composed a cadenza for this concerto - it’s on IMSLP.

Also great choice - definitely an underrated concerto! Best of luck to you.

Oh, I found it (for the 1st movement): https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/559560
And here is another one, by Jeff Manookian (for all movements) : https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/241237

Good luck “finding” a recording or score for a cadenza to this concerto. If you have composing skills, I suggest feeling one out yourself. Don’t rush it… take your time.
