concertant

Sinfonia concertante (IPA: [siɱfoˈniːa kontʃerˈtante]; also called symphonie concertante) is an orchestral work, normally in several movements, in which one or more solo instruments contrast with the full orchestra.

The symphonie concertante is different from the concerto because the soloists advance melodic material and participate in moving along the development schemes, functioning as in a symphony, rather than performing a single, showy musical part in the manner of a concerto.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart The Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E♭ major, K. 364 (320d), was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. At the time of its composition in 1779, Mozart was on a tour of Europe that included Mannheim and Paris.

He paid to go to classical concerts. On a certain day it was given a concert performance on the deck of the ship. There are live concerts three days a week. We had planned an outdoor concert on the front lawn of the church.

A concert (as in a "concert tour") is a performance in which a musician or many musicians play music together to a group of listeners (called an audience). In the case of a concert of classical music there may be an orchestra. There is often an important visual element to the performance, such as with a rock concert.

Symphony comes from Greek roots that literally meaning “sounding together, harmony of sound.” It was borrowed into English as early as the 1200s. In classical music, a symphony is a type of elaborate, multipart composition in classical music.

For a double concerto it's relatively easy to put together. (Just a teensy bit more difficult than Bach Double or the Bach violin/oboe concerto, or the Vivaldi double and triple concertos. Easier than Brandenburg 4 or 5, or Vivaldi four-violin. Vastly easier than a Beethoven triple, Brahms double, or Rosza double.)

A concerto (/kənˈtʃɛərtoʊ/; plural concertos, or concerti from the Italian plural) is, from the late Baroque era, mostly understood as an instrumental composition, written for one or more soloists accompanied by an orchestra or other ensemble.
