concerto
concerto Musical work for instrumental soloists accompanied by orchestra. The earliest concertos are the 17th-century
Concerto grosso (a small section of soloists on various instruments, the
concertino, is contrasted with the full orchestra, the
ripieno) written by
Corelli and Torelli. J. S.
Bach's Brandenburg Concertos are fine examples of this form.
Vivaldi composed most of his concertos for one soloist and orchestra and used the three-movement form (fast-slow-fast) which was to become standard in
Classical music, such as the brilliant concertos of
Mozart and
Beethoven. In the 19th century, concertos involved increasing virtuosity, particularly in the works of
Liszt and
Rachmaninov. Concertos have also been written for two or three soloists (double and triple concertos).
