Instruments
Developments in instrument making quality resulted in musicians being able to play very technically challenging music. New additions included the tuba, trombone, and piccolo. |

Orchestra and soloist
The interactions between these two become much more complex. The orchestra has now expanded in size greatly. |
Venue
a large concert hall due to the size of the orchestra. |

Cadenza
These were now very technically demanding and were often composed rather than improvised. |
