What is Concerta?

The word concerto is derived from the Latin collcertaye. It was meant to be played together. The concerto means that both factors compete and cooperate. Concerto (concerto) first appeared as a vocal genre, in the sixteenth century, it refers to an Italian vocal music accompanied by an instrument. From the second half of the seventeenth century on, it refers to an instrumental set of one or more solo instruments and an orchestra. A group of several solo instruments formed during the Baroque period is called a grand concerto with a group of contestants. The control concerto formed by the violin, piano, cello and other instruments and bands formed during the period of classical music is called "solo concerto". Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, and many composers of the Romantic School have written a large number of solo concertos.

Concerto Mozart

Classical music school master Mozart composed 27 piano concertos in large numbers. ^[1] Six violin concertos and concerto for flute, clarinet, trumpet, horn and other solo instruments established a concerto form that is still being used today. This concerto is played by a solo instrument in concert with an orchestra. The solo part has a distinctive personality and a high degree of skill.

The music usually includes three movements: the first movement uses a sonata style, the second movement is mostly lyrical, and the third movement is usually a rondo or sonata style. There is a huacai section at the back of the first movement (sometimes shorter huacai sections are also inserted in the second and third movements). At first, the Huacai section was improvised by the performers according to the basic theme of the music, and after the nineteenth century, the composers wrote fixed scores. The music scores used by modern musicians in playing classical concertos were written by later composers.

Concerto Beethoven

Beethoven injected deep ideological content into the form of the concerto, and organically linked the solo part with the orchestra part, and realized the symphonic development together. His violin concerto and five piano concertos are masterpieces of great significance to the development of the concerto.

Rachmaninov

The four piano concertos by Rachmaninov, the last romantic composer of the 19th century, were second to none. Among them, the second piano concerto in c minor is particularly famous. This work is clear, sincere, complete, and profound. The enthusiasm and power in music reflects the mental state of the emerging Russian bourgeois intellectuals at the time, and also shows the romantic style of Rachmaninov's music creation. Established his influence and status at the time.

At the beginning of the first movement, the lead piano popped eight bars with dark and heavy chords like bells. After that, the first theme of orchestra's powerful and infinite tension in c minor appeared.

The second movement continued its slow, soothing and soothing trilogy. The starting theme was derived from the lyrical sub-theme of the first movement, with contemplative music, full of fantasy, hope, and the joy of life, full of inner passion, and a sharp contrast with the main theme.

The third movement is a humorous allegro, C major, 2/2 beats, almost revolving. After the string performance ended, the piano played the first theme vigorously and developed this theme fully. The oboe and viola sing the second theme (Fragment 4), which is as broad as a song and flows from the keys lyrically, which is in stark contrast to the first theme. The two themes followed one another and ended up as a magnificent hymn. At the end of the movement, the piano decorates the melody with strong notes, gradually speeds up, and ends the whole song with the piano and full band ensemble.

Concerto Other

The Romantic Concerto continued to develop, with masterpieces such as: Brahms "Violin Concerto in D Major" and Mendelssohn "Violin Concerto in E Minor".
