Today the term concerto usually refers

to a musical work in which one solo

instrument is accompanied by an

orchestra. The concerto first arose in

the baroque with

the concerto grosso (Italian for big

concert(o )), which contrasted a small

group of instruments with the rest of

the orchestra. While

the concerto grosso is confined to the

baroque period, the solo concerto has

continued as a vital musical force to

this day.

Concerto Grosso  Two distinct forms of the concerto grosso exist: the concerto da chiesa (church concert) and the concerto da camera (chamber concert).  The concerto da chiesa alternated slow and fast movements; the concerto da camera had the character of a suite, being introduced by a prelude and incorporating popular dance forms. These distinctions blurred over time.

The Solo Concerto

A solo concerto is a concerto in which a single

soloist is accompanied by an orchestra. It is

the most common type of concerto, and it

originated during the baroque period (c. 1600–

1750) as an alternative to the traditional

concertino (solo group of instruments) in

a concerto grosso.

A typical concerto has the following structure:

1. fast movement, 2. slow movement, 3. fast movement. There are many examples of concertos that do not follow this arrangement, however.

Concertos for instruments other than violin began to appear early in the 18th century, including the oboe concertos of George Frideric Handel and the numerous concertos for flute, oboe, bassoon, cello, and other instruments by Vivaldi. The earliest organ concertos can probably be credited to Handel (sixteen concertos, c. 1735–51), the earliest harpsichord concertos to Johann Sebastian Bach (fourteen concertos for one to four harpsichords, c. 1735– 40). In the latter case, all but probably one of the concertos are arrangements of existing works, though Bach had already approached the idea of a harpsichord concerto before 1721 in the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5.
