"A single solo instrument with the melody line, accompanied by the orchestra. Three parts or movements. The term ""concerto"" was initially used to denote works involving voices and instruments in which the instruments had independent parts—as opposed to the Renaissance common practice in which the instruments that accompanied voices only doubled the voice parts."
