Concert piece
Concert piece (also Concertino ) is a term from music. It describes a usually one-movement concerto for solo instrument (s) and orchestra, more rarely in several movements that merge into one another without a break. The concert piece can follow the main sonata form , but it can also make use of formal arrangements such as the rondo , the variation , the character piece or free forms of program music. Examples of the genre that emerged at the end of the 18th century and appeared more frequently in the Romantic era are the concert piece for piano and orchestra op.79 (1821) and the concertino for clarinet and orchestra op.26 (1811) by Carl Maria von Weber , the concert piece for clarinet and basset horn No. 1 (1832) by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy , or Robert Schumann's concert piece for 4 horns and orchestra op.86 (1849).
The term concert piece is also used for solo compositions intended for concert performance without an orchestra (example: Allegro de concert for solo piano op. 46 by Frédéric Chopin ).
