From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A concert piece (
German : Konzertstück ;
French : pièce de concert , also morceau de concert ) is a
musical composition , in most cases in one
movement , intended for performance in a
concert . Usually it is written for one or more virtuoso
instrumental
soloists and
orchestral or
piano accompaniment.
[1]
In some cases concert pieces start with a separate opening movement, or are otherwise in more than one movement or section. A piece that presents itself as a miniature
concerto is rather called
concertino than concert piece, although in German several such concertinos are known as Konzertstücke .
[2] For instance
Siegfried Wagner 's Flute Concertino was published as
Konzertstück for flute and small orchestra [
scores ] .
[3] Incomplete concerto movements by
Beethoven and
Schubert were retroactively designated as concert pieces.
Schumann 's 1841 Fantasia for piano and orchestra, in form similar to
Weber 's
Konzertstück , was later rewritten and expanded with two further movements into his
Piano Concerto Op. 54 .
[4] When the soloist is a
vocalist , the piece rather belongs to the
concert aria genre. Some concert pieces are written for instrumental soloists exclusively, while also concert pieces for orchestra without soloist exist. In this sense as well
Chopin 's
Allegro de concert for solo piano as
Tchaikovsky 's
Romeo and Juliet for orchestra can be called concert pieces.
[5]
[6] A
concert overture is an overture which is conceived as a stand-alone concert piece.
