Concerto

A concerto is a type of orchestral composition that features a solo instrument or a small group of instruments, accompanied by a full orchestra. When playing a concerto, you'll need to balance your solo lines with the orchestral accompaniment, which requires a strong sense of phrasing, dynamics, and expression. As a pianist, you'll need to be mindful of the solo piano part's relationship with the orchestra and bring out the unique characteristics of the solo instrument.
