After a successful dinner, Belle wanders into the forbidden West Wing and is frightened away by the temperamental Beast. Later, when Belle is rescued from wolves by the Beast, she takes him back to the castle to nurse him back to health. When Belle inquires the staff as to why the Beast is as selfish as he is, they tell her that when his loving mother died of the plague, he was taken under the wing of his cruel father, who shaped him to exact version of himself.

But when the last petal falls from the Beasts rose, they all begin to lose their human essence. Cadenza watches in sadness as his wife becomes an ordinary wardrobe shortly before turning into an ordinary harpsichord. Miraculously, when Belle confesses her love for the Beast, a villager named Agathe, who is revealed to be the Enchantress, lifts the curse from the castle, restoring the Beast and the staff to their human forms and the castle to its former glory. Cadenza is happily reunited with his wife and they play together at Belle and the Princes ball too overjoyed to mind that hes missing most of his teeth. Trivia His character was possibly inspired by Forte, the main antagonist of Beauty and the Beast The Enchanted Christmas, in that they are both maestros who have been turned into instruments with keys. The biggest difference between the two is that Forte is a villain who seeks attention from the Beast and doesnt want to be human again while Cadenza is a good natured person who wants to be human again. A musical feature of harpsichords is their inability to vary dynamics, as the plucking action of the strings prevent the instrument from playing louder or softer. As a result, harpsichords are capable of playing only one dynamic. This is possibly why Cadenza was offended by Cogsworth telling him to play quietly at Belles dinner, as this could not be done on a harpsichord. At the beginning of the film, Cadenza had a full set of teeth that lacked dental hygiene, and after the spell was broken he only had a few of them left due to using them during battle. However, at the very end, he seemed to have gotten them replaced by a brand new sparkling clean set of teeth. Cadenzas hairstyle and dressing in a human form bears a resemblance to Ludwig van Beethoven, a famous German composer and pianist. Argentinas Tango Maestro NPR. Carlos Gardel circa 1.
