Opus refers to a composers work, it kind of describes a collection of their compositions.
To be honest as a musician I don't even really understand it well. It is not that important.
A concerto is a piece of music centered around a soloist. Where the specific instrument is featured.
It's all about the piano, the clarinet, the violin, etc. An orchestra is backing them up.
The keys just describe the tone of the piece. Not really that important either unless you are trying to study the music. A major, e major, doesn't really matter.
Well , thanks Greg and Nigel !
