Cadenza by Richard Arfsten
Cadenza
A passage usually towards the end of a solo piece, where the soloist plays alone in a skilled way (A chance to show off). It can be any kind of music.
I think this would be a nice sculpture in front of a Opera House or a Jazz event space or a Music School. This piece really looks complicated to build but it is not. It is just like most of my designs. It is a collection of metal boxes that are welded together. The maquette is measured with a scanning device and a computer plots the patterns. These patterns are cut out of metal and bent and welded into boxes which are welded together. There are no compound curves that have to be cast, a much more expensive process.
This maquette is available for enlargement as are all the others in my maquette library. Please talk to me about enlargement as well as the additional fee.
The major value in these pieces is the maquette aspect. The maquette is a three-dimensional model or blueprint that works to show that the design is accurate and can be built larger. A metal fabricator measures off of it to make the patterns to build from, just like a talor uses your measurements to make your clothes. When presenting ideas to a client for consideration most sculptors submit a concept drawing on a piece of paper. A maquette is the actual sculpture in miniature. When you lift it up to view at eye level it will depict the sculpture exactly as it will be seen in real life as if you were walking up to it.
