Yes, a full orchestra can accompany a concerto, but traditionally, a concerto is a musical composition for a solo instrument or a small group of instruments with orchestral accompaniment. The orchestra provides the harmonic and rhythmic support, while the soloist showcases their virtuosity and interpretation. In some cases, the concerto may feature multiple soloists, but the focus remains on the individual performers.
