Concertos for piano

A concerto for piano is a classical music composition that features a piano soloist accompanied by an orchestra. Typically structured in three movements, it highlights the piano’s technique and expressive qualities. The first movement often begins with a strong orchestral introduction, followed by the piano's entrance, showcasing intricate melodies and virtuosic passages. The second movement usually offers a more lyrical and emotional contrast, while the final movement returns to a lively tempo. Concertos are celebrated for the dialogue between the piano and orchestra, creating a dynamic and captivating musical experience. Notable composers include Mozart, Beethoven, and Rachmaninoff.
