Concerto
- Extremely virtuosic playing to a whole new level
- Written by pianists (Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin) for themselves!
- Still 3-movement form, but sometimes connected
- Derived from the popular symphony
- Soloist played in an orchestral style, simulating sound of full orchestra
- Very demanding parts, which required more schooled musicians
