- Double concerto
-
A double concerto is a concerto featuring two performers, as opposed to the usual single performer, in the solo role, whether these two performers' instruments are of the same type or different.
The best-known double concerto is that written by J.S. Bach for two violins in D minor.[citation needed]
Although there exist concerti with more than two solo parts for the same instrument (e.g., Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto for Four Violins in B minor, catalogued as RV 580 and transcribed for four harpsichords by Bach as BWV 1065), the terms "triple concerto", "quadruple concerto", etc., are seldom used.
