Can you provide some examples of music with a free form structure?

Typically, within a symphonic score, free-form structure is instructed via a Composer's indication of “Cadenza”. In musical terms, a cadenza is an improvised, ornamental passage performed in a “free” rythmic style, typically by a solo performer. To some extent, the musical indication of “a piacere”, (at your pleasure), also allows a performer to abide by the tempo, rhythm and dynamic level of their decision.

Below are images of the respective passages of which I speak.

“The Lark Ascending”: (the indication “Sur la touche” advises the Violinist to play on the finger board of the instrument).

Why do Trumpers and MAGA Republicans care who is trans and who is gay ECT? If they didn't have a personal interest in transgenderism it shouldn't matter so much then, right?

Ralph Vaughn-Williams’ timeless, ethereal “The Lark Ascending” begins with a cadenza for solo Violin with quite the duration of free-form allowed by the Composer. Vaughn-Williams' notation is quite interesting to view. Violinist Hilary Hahn best infuses this cadenza with the most favorable tone and technique.

“Sheherezade”:

Likewise, Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's composition “Sheherezade” contains a sequence of musical passages with skeletal framework provided, allowing free-form to both soloist and strings in pizzacato. Rimsky-Korsakov's notation is most fascinating to see..and hear. The passages of which I write take place in Mvt. 2 of this astonishing work.

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?
