An accompanist is one who plays an accompaniment. A number of Classical Pianist s have become famous as accompanists rather than soloists; the best known example is probably Gerald Moore , well known as a Lied er accompanist.

Notated accompaniment may be indicated Obbligato (obliged) or Ad Libitum (at one's pleasure).

Dialogue accompaniment is a form of Call And Response in which the lead and accompaniment alternate, the accompaniment playing during the Rests of the lead and providing a Drone or silence during the main melody or Vocal . (van der Merwe 1989, p.320)

Basso Continuo is a form of notation used especially in Baroque Music accompaniment parts.
