A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Concert-Stuck

CONCERT-STÜCK, i. e. Concert-piece. A term familiar to the English reader through Weber's well-known composition in F minor (op. 79), which is to all intents and purposes a concerto for piano and orchestra. Weber's intention was to make it more dramatic than usual, and to have given the movements expressive headings, and hence perhaps the variation in the title. Schumann has left a 'Concert-Stück' for 4 horns and orchestra (op. 82), which also is a concerto under another name.
