Mozart composed symphonies and concertos which are not exactly the same thing as songs, and they generally have numbers instead of names, for example, Piano Concerto #12. However, there is one that has a name, the Rondo a la Turko, which I find to be particularly charming.

Handel primarily wrote concertos for orchestra, as well as for various instrumental combinations, including concertos for organ, strings, and woodwinds. His concertos often showcased the capabilities of solo instruments within the orchestral texture. Notably, he composed concertos for the popular instruments of his time, such as the oboe and violin, and his works were meant to entertain both the public and the aristocracy.
No, Beethoven composed a variety of musical forms beyond piano concertos. His body of work includes symphonies, string quartets, operas, sonatas, and choral music, among others. While piano concertos are a significant part of his oeuvre, they represent just one aspect of his diverse and influential contributions to classical music.

J.S. Batch ( Johann Sebastian Bach)
Vivaldi's concertos were primarily composed for string instruments, particularly the violin, and often featured a soloist accompanied by a string orchestra and continuo. His most famous work, "The Four Seasons," is a set of violin concertos that vividly depict the changing seasons through music. Vivaldi's concertos typically followed the fast-slow-fast structure of the Baroque concerto form, showcasing both virtuosity and lyrical themes. Overall, his concertos significantly influenced the development of the genre and the Baroque style.
The Brandenburg Concertos were composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. They were written between 1711 and 1720 and are regarded as some of the finest examples of the concerto grosso form. The collection consists of six concertos, each showcasing different instruments and ensembles. Bach dedicated the concertos to Margrave Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg-Schwedt, hence the name.
The Brandenburg Concertos, composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, consist of six individual concertos, each varying in length. Generally, the total performance time for all six concertos combined is approximately 90 to 120 minutes, depending on the interpretation and tempo chosen by the conductor. Each concerto typically lasts between 10 to 20 minutes. Thus, the entire collection can be enjoyed in a single performance or divided into multiple sessions.
Mozart was a prolific composer. He composed all of the above - operas, symphonies and piano concertos - as well as songs and serenades, canons, piano sonatas, string quartets and quintets, chamber music, masses, dances and divertimentos. Traditionally, Mozart is believed to have composed 41 symphonies, but that figure has recently been revised to 68. He wrote 27 piano concertos, five known violin concertoes (possibly several more), four horn concertoes and at least 8 other concertoes. Mozart also composed 23 known operas.
