Piano concerto
A piano concerto is a concerto written for piano and orchestra.
A classical piano concerto is often in three movements.
Examples by Mozart and Beethoven follow this model, but there are many others which do not. Beethoven's fourth piano concerto includes a last-movement cadenza, and many composers have made innovations – for example Liszt's single-movement concerti.

Unilineal evolution
Unilineal evolution, also called classical social evolution, was a 19th-century social theory about the evolution of societies and cultures.
There were different theories by various sociologists and anthropologists. However, they all believed that Western culture is the peak of social evolution.
