The topic of this work are concerts and concertinas for tambura solo and orchestral tamburas. Its goal was to comprise a list of all the concerts and concertinos written for tamburas solo accompanied by a tambura orchestra, as well as their composers, and to do a quick analysis in order to connect the contents of the composition with the biography and musical creations of said composers. The list consists of six concerts and concertinos written in an interval of 60 years and arranged in a chronological order, from oldest to most recent. The first part deals with the history of the creation and development of concerts and concertinos as a musical genre. The main body shows the biographies of the composers, describes the content of each piece, the composition techniques used by their composers, as well as the information about the premiere of the piece. It is to assume that this work will not only serve as a source of information for all future works related to this topic, but also as motivation for composing in this genre – something that is needed in order to develop the tambura as a solo instrument.
