>> Is it true that Mozart added a short cadenza for solo lute in his version of the Caecilia ode? <<
I don't know what is Händel and what is Mozart in the lute part (aria no 5: Der Flöte Klageton, b-minor), but there is some sort of cadenza for lute and flute at the end. Most of the lute part is straight forward continuo playing, with passages of broken chords (oncomftably low for an archlute) during the words 'die sanfte Laute'.
