1. Symphony:
A symphony is a large-scale musical composition typically written for an orchestra. It consists of multiple movements, each with its own distinct musical ideas and themes. Symphonies are typically performed by a full orchestra, which may include string instruments, woodwind instruments, brass instruments, and percussion instruments.
2. Solo Cantata:
A solo cantata is a type of vocal music that features a single singer, or soloist, accompanied by an instrumental ensemble or orchestra. Cantatas typically have multiple sections or movements and may include recitatives, arias, and choruses. The term "solo cantata" is used to distinguish it from other types of cantatas, such as the choral cantata or the chamber cantata.
3. Concerto:
A concerto is a musical composition featuring a solo instrument or a small group of soloists accompanied by an orchestra. The soloist(s) play a prominent role in the composition, often performing virtuosic passages and showcasing their technical skills and musical expression. Concertos usually consist of three movements: a fast first movement, a slow second movement, and a lively third movement.
