In what type of music is a solo instrument accompanied by voices?

  1. Concerto

  2. Fugue

  3. Opera

  4. Sonata

The correct answer is: Opera

In concerts, solo instruments are sometimes joined by an orchestra, but the voices are the primary focus. A fugue is a musical form that features multiple melodies woven together, without a distinct solo instrument or vocals. Similarly, a concerto features a solo instrument playing against an orchestra, but the focus is still on the instrumental soloist rather than the voices. A sonata typically only features instruments and does not include vocals. Therefore, the only option that fits the description of a solo instrument accompanied by voices is opera.
