Keyboard concertos

Keyboard concertos are musical compositions featuring a solo keyboard instrument, such as a piano or harpsichord, accompanied by an orchestra. Typically composed during the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods, these works highlight the keyboard’s expressive range and technical capabilities. The soloist often plays intricate melodies and embellishments, while the orchestra provides harmonies and supportive textures. Notable composers of keyboard concertos include Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Sergei Rachmaninoff. These concertos are often performed in concert settings, showcasing the dialogue between the soloist and the ensemble.
