Gamma Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 You said 1-6 players, if you had 1, wouldn't it mean a solo rather than an ensemble? Or can we do a solo thing as well? If so I'd like to do a solo instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachian Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Can we do a three movement concerto if it doesn't go over 10 minutes as a whole, or must it be one single movement/piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you can do more than one movement...but, if it's a concerto I'm going to have to say no. (Chamber instrumentation only, please. :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackballoons Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Huh? Violin, Violin, Viola, Cello, and Harpsichord is not Chamber? H'm... That works fine. But a concerto would be for soloist and orchestra...if violin, violin, viola, cello, harpsichord is what you intended, it's fine. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkitititi Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 concerto is not JUST soloist and orchestra, much more tiny soloist against SUPER HUGE orchestra, and throughout ages the concerto idea has changed several times... so it all depends on what you refer to as a concerto :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call something whatever you want as long as it is within context of an idea or w/e... Even then.. not really. Just follow the number of instruments. That is all.
