ripieno
A concertino, or small group of soloists (usually 2 violins, a harpsichord, and a cello), contrasts with the cocerto grosso, which is the whole string orchestra and its ripieno players.
Usually a choir is divided into four parts, two of women (sopranos- high women, and altos- low women) and two of men (tenors- high men, and basses- low men). There are sometimes parts that represent the middle-range men and women, mezzo-sopranos and baritones, but these are usually soloists. The individual parts are often split into more sections (eg. first soprano, second soprano etc.), and multiple choirs may be used. Thomas Tallis, for example, used forty individual parts in his 'Spem In Alium', and two choirs are used in Bach's 'St. Matthew's Passion'. Further typrs of voices are found in opera, for example the Queen of Night in Mozart's 'The Magic Flute', a coloratura soprano.
Alexandrov Ensemble soloists was created in 1928.

Webster defines a concerto as a piece for one or more soloists and an orchestra with three contrasting movements.
It undoubtedly is a "concerto" (an Italian noun, that is used worldwide for classical music or similar), different of "concert" noun in English, which nowadays means a performance of any style.
the cadenza in Beethoven's 3rd concerto in c minor was written out because he did not trust the piano soloists.
You are correct. This technique was used more commonly in the baroque era, employing the concept of terraced dynamics. The difference is often one instrument per part versus a full section.True (for apex
A Solo Concerto is a concerto i which a single soloist is accompanied by an orchestra. It is the most frequent type of concerto. It originated in the Baroque Period (approx. 1600 - 1750) as an alternative to the traditional Concertino in a concerto grosso. Concerto = an instrumental work that maintains contrast between an orchestral ensemble and a smaller group or a solo instrument, or among various groups of an undivided orchestra. (fast-slow-fast) three movements. Concertino = The group of solo instruments in a concerto grosso. Concerto Grosso = a musical form, common in the Baroque period, in which contrasting sections are played by full orchestra and by a small group of soloists. Hope that helps :)
