Basso continuo consists of two components. The first is a bass instrument to play the foundation - most often it would be a cello, but could also include a bassoon. A keyboard player will double the bass line and add chords/harmonizations specified by the composer. The keyboard instrument could be a harpsichord, clavichord or organ, a piano could also be used.
Basso continuo, sometimes just called _¾_continuo_¾, was played by a keyboard instrument and another bass instrument such as cello, violone (an old form of double bass) or bassoon. The keyboard instrument was normally a harpsichord or, if it was being played in a church, an organ.
