WHAT DOES DOUBLE CONCERTO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Double concerto

A double concerto usually refers to a concerto featuring two performers, as opposed to the usual single performer, in the solo role, whether these two performers' instruments are of the same type or different. Among well-known double concertos of this kind are such works as J.S. Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, Mozart's Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra, Mendelssohn's Concerto for Violin, Piano and Strings and Brahms's Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra. The term may also be used to refer to the use of a double orchestral body where the work is in concerto grosso form; for example, Martinů's Concerto for two string orchestras, piano and timpani is commonly known by the title "Double Concerto", where the word "double" refers to the two string bodies rather than to the piano and timpani who are not soloists in the conventional sense. Concerti with more than two solo parts may be known by the terms "triple concerto", "quadruple concerto", etc.,, but not usually where the instruments are of the same type.
