Concertstck

/ˈkɑnsərtˌstɪk/ noun

Definition

A short concert piece or musical composition designed to be performed at a concert (variant spelling).

Etymology

From German 'Konzertstück,' combining 'Konzert' (concert) and 'Stück' (piece). English borrowing of German musical terminology.

Kelly Says

German composers loved the Konzertstück format—short, showy pieces that let soloists demonstrate their technique in 5-10 minutes instead of a full 30-minute concerto!
