found: New Grove dict., 2nd ed.(Concertante (It.; Fr. concertans, concertant). A term, derived from the present participle of the Italian verb concertare generally signifying music that is in some sense soloistic, with a contrasting element, or "concerto-like." In the Baroque period it was sometimes used, more or less interchangeably with Concertato, to describe a group of mixed musical forces, generally vocal and instrumental or comprising a larger ensemble and a smaller one. In the second half of the 18th century it was used principally adjectivally, to qualify such terms as symphony and quartet. In the 19th century the term was sometimes used, as in Spohr's "concertante quartets," to signify in chamber music a concerto-like emphasis on one instrument. The term continued in use in the 20th century, sometimes in compositions in a neo-classical mold. Examples include Tippett (Fantasia concertante), Stravinsky (Duo concertantes), etc.)
