In his early days ABM played the Mozart d minor concerto K466 without

Piero Rattalino - usually the go-to authority on Michelangeli - has no
idea. I tried the usual suspects (Reinecke, Busoni, Tagliapietra) with
no success. Michelangeli himself?

The 1st mvt cadenza starts at 11'07''. The 3rd mvt cadenza starts at
28'49''

I always thought - I’m no expert though - it were Michelangeli‘s own
cadenzas. He uses the same first movement cadenza with Mitropoulos:

Don’t like it too much though; but his 3rd movement cadenza with Giulini
I really like - it might even be my favorite/one of my favorites. A few
years ago this was actually my fav recording of 466.
With Mitropoulos he uses a different cadenza in the 3rd movement:
