Concerto For OrchestraAlthough a concerto is usually a piece of music for one or more solo instruments pitted against an orchestra, several composers have written works with the apparently contradictory title Concerto for Orchestra. This title is usually chosen to emphasise soloistic and virtuosic treatment of the instruments of the orchestra. For the distinction between the Concerto for Orchestra and the Sinfonia Concertante genres (or: forms): see sinfonia concertante The best known Concerto for Orchestra is the one by Bla Bartk (1943), although the title had been used several times before. Concertos for Orchestra (in chronological order) Goffredo Petrassi made the concerto for orchestra something of a speciality, writing eight of them since the 1930s.
