The modern concerto was developed during the [[Baroque]] period under the influence of masters such as [[Antonio Vivaldi]] and [[Johann Sebastian Bach]]. Vivaldi developed a form dubbed the "Italian Form," which standardized the concerto into a three-movement work featuring a fast introduction movement, a slow second movement, and a final quick, dance-like movement. Vivaldi's prolific output included over 250 concerti, such as [[The Four Seasons]] (a series of four concerti featuring a solo violinist), and many other works featuring solo [[flute]] and [[guitar]]/[[lute]].
