===For multiple instruments and orchestra=== {{unreferenced section|date=April 2021}} In the Baroque era, two violins and one cello formed the standard [[concertino (group)|concertino]] of a [[concerto grosso]]. In the classical era, the [[sinfonia concertante]] replaced the concerto grosso genre, although concertos for two or three soloists were still composed too. From the Romantic era works for multiple instrumental soloists and orchestra were again commonly called concerto. ====Two soloists==== {{Main|double concerto}} Baroque era: * Vivaldi's concertos for 2 violins, for 2 cellos, for 2 mandolins, for 2 trumpets, for 2 flutes, for oboe and bassoon, for cello and bassoon (etc.) * Bach: ** [[Concerto for Two Violins (Bach)|Concerto for Two Violins]] ** Concertos for two harpsichords: [[Concerto for two harpsichords in C minor, BWV 1060|BWV 1060]], [[BWV 1061|1061]] and [[BWV 1062|1062]] * [[Concerto for Two Violas (Telemann)|Telemann's Concerto for Two Violas]] Classical era: * Haydn's concerto for violin and keyboard (usually referred to as the Keyboard Concerto No. 6) * Mozart: ** [[Piano Concerto No. 10 (Mozart)|Piano Concerto No. 10]] ** [[Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra (Mozart)|Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra]] * [[Antonio Salieri|Salieri]]'s double concerto for flute and oboe Romantic era: * [[Felix Mendelssohn]]: ** [[Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E major (Mendelssohn)|Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in E major]] ** [[Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in A-flat major (Mendelssohn)|Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra in A-flat major]] * [[Johannes Brahms]]'s [[Double Concerto (Brahms)|Double Concerto for violin and cello]] * [[Max Bruch]]: ** [[Concerto for Clarinet, Viola, and Orchestra]] ** [[Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra (Bruch)|Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra]] 20th century: * [[Dmitri Shostakovich]]'s [[Piano Concerto No. 1 (Shostakovich)|Piano Concerto No. 1]] (soloists: piano, trumpet) * [[Malcolm Arnold]]'s [[Concerto for Two Violins and String Orchestra (Arnold)|Concerto for Two Violins and String Orchestra]] * [[Francis Poulenc]]'s [[Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra (Poulenc)|Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra]] * [[Ralph Vaughan Williams]]'s [[Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra (Vaughan Williams)|Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra]] * [[Elliott Carter]]'s [[Double Concerto (Carter)|Double Concerto for Harpsichord and Piano with Two Chamber Orchestras]] * [[Peter Maxwell Davies]]'s [[Strathclyde Concertos|Strathclyde Concerto]] No. 3 for horn, trumpet and orchestra, and No. 4 for violin, viola and string orchestra ====Three soloists==== {{Main|triple concerto}} Baroque era: * [[Arcangelo Corelli]]'s [[twelve concerti grossi, Op. 6 (Corelli)|twelve concerti grossi, Op. 6]] for two violins and cello * Vivaldi's concertos for 3 violins * Bach: ** ''[[Brandenburg Concertos]]'' Nos. 4 ([[BWV 1049]]) and 5 ([[BWV 1050]]) ** Concertos for three harpsichords: [[BWV 1063]] and [[BWV 1062|1064]] ** [[Triple Concerto, BWV 1044]], for harpsichord, flute and violin Classical era: * [[Piano Concerto No. 7 (Mozart)|Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 7]] Romantic era: * [[Triple Concerto (Beethoven)|Beethoven's Triple Concerto]] for piano, violin, and cello. 21st century: * [[Triple Concerto No. 2 (Smirnov)|Smirnov's Triple Concerto No. 2]] ====Four or more soloists==== Baroque era: * Vivaldi: ** ''L'estro armonico'' Nos. 1, 4, 7 and 10 ** [[Ryom Verzeichnis|RV]] 555, featuring 3 violins, an oboe, 2 recorders, 2 viole all'inglese, a [[chalumeau]], 2 cellos, 2 harpsichords and 2 trumpets. ** [[Concerto in C major, RV 558|Concerto for Diverse Instruments in C major, RV 558]] ** [[Concerto in C major, RV 559]], for two oboes, two clarinets, [[string section|strings]] and [[basso continuo|continuo]] * Bach: ** ''Brandenburg Concertos'' Nos. 1 ([[BWV 1046]]) and 2 ([[BWV 1047]]) ** [[BWV 1065|Concerto for 4 harpsichords, BWV 1065]] (after a concerto for four violins by Vivaldi) 20th century: * [[Arnold Schoenberg]]'s [[Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra (Schoenberg)|Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra]] * Maxwell Davies's Strathclyde Concerto and No. 9 for piccolo, alto flute, cor anglais, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabassoon and string orchestra. * [[Frank Martin (composer)|Frank Martin]]'s [[Concerto for seven wind instruments, timpani, percussion, and string orchestra]]. * [[Jon Lord]]'s ''[[Concerto for Group and Orchestra]]'' for [[rock band]]. * [[Joaquín Rodrigo]]'s ''[[Concierto Andaluz]]'' for 4 guitars. * [[Alfred Schnittke]]'s [[Concerto Grosso No. 3 (Schnittke)|Concerto Grosso No. 3]] * [[Olivier Messiaen]]'s ''[[Concert à quatre]]'' for piano, cello, oboe and flute.
