In Reply to: RE: you do realize A Capella means "without music", right? posted by pbarach on November 30, 2014 at 02:26:13
That's the appropriate use of the term, which, as you imply, is really NOT used in connection with instrumental music. What the OP refers to as "a capella" parts in a concerto should really be referred to as "unaccompanied soloist sections" or something like that.Also, I've never heard a reference to "a capella" as meaning "without music" - the literal translation would be "in [the manner of] the chapel".
As far as the OP's original question is concerned, almost all concertos have cadenzas for the soloist (per John's post below), so the cadenzas in the concerto would fulfill the OP's requirements for extended unaccompanied sections for the soloist.

Technically you are correct. however in the end it means without instrument accompaniment. It does not really matter anyway. I knew what he meant. But this is a "music" asylum.
