Koncertantna djela: historijsko-stilski i harmonijski aspekti
Concerto Works: Historical-Stylistic and Harmonic Aspects

Summary/Abstract: Through the centuries, the concerto has been evaluated first as a vocal composition accompanied with instrumentals, then as a composition of several movements, intended for one or more solo instruments and an orchestra. Regardless of its varying conditions and changes, the basic formal and concert postulates were determined by Baroque concerto, the first great era of concerto, and have been maintained through the centuries to today. The second great era was that of the soloist, especially the piano concerto, which is/was representative of the instrumental form of the classical and romantic periods, with numerous structural innovations. In the 20th and 21st centuries, composers mostly revitalized old forms of the concerto, or gave it a new form. All the previously mentioned stylistic changes are reflected in their harmonic language. This paper questions the historical-stylistic and harmonic aspects of the most important concerto works in Western European music.
