Triple concerto

A triple concerto is a concerto with three soloists. Such concertos have been composed from the Baroque period, including works by Corelli, Vivaldi, Bach and Telemann, to the 21st century, such as two works by Dmitri Smirnov. The most famous example is Beethoven's Triple Concerto for violin, cello and piano. His combination of solo instruments, a piano trio, was also used by Jan Václav Voříšek (in his Grand Rondeau concertant of 1825) and was often used in works composed during the twentieth century.
