1. continuo

   Continuo, also known as basso continuo, is a form of musical accompaniment used in the Baroque period. It consists of a bass part written out in full and a series of chords, indicated by figures, to be played either on a keyboard instrument or on other chording instruments such as a lute. The continuo part is generally played along with other bass instruments, like cello or bassoon, to provide rhythmic stability and harmonic support during a musical performance.
