No musical genre has had a more chequered critical history than the
concerto and yet simultaneously retained as consistently prominent
a place in the affections of the concert-going public. This volume,
one of very few to deal with the genre in its entirety, assumes a
broad remit, setting the concerto in its musical and non-musical
contexts, examining the concertos that have made important
contributions to musical culture, and looking at
performance-related topics. A picture emerges of a genre in a
continual state of change, re-inventing itself in the process of
growth and development and regularly challenging its performers and
listeners to broaden the horizons of their musical experience.
