The basso continuo, a key element of Baroque music, typically involves a combination of a bass instrument and a chordal instrument. Common choices for these instruments include:
- Bass instrument: This could be a cello, double bass, or violone.
- Chordal instrument: This could be a harpsichord, organ, or lute.
Together, these instruments provide the harmonic foundation and rhythmic support for the ensemble or soloists.
