A continuo, also known as basso continuo, is a part commonly found in Baroque music. It refers to an instrumental group that provides the harmony and bass line for a piece. Typically, the group includes a keyboard instrument, like a harpsichord or organ, and a low-pitched string or wind instrument, such as a cello or bassoon. The keyboard player reads a special notation called figured bass, which gives the basic outline of the chords. The player then improvises the detailed harmony, filling in the chords to complement the music. This allows the continuo to provide a flexible and supportive foundation throughout the performance.
