piano accompaniment
Keyboard behind singer
Piano accompaniment is the musical support a pianist provides for a singer, instrumentalist, or ensemble.
The accompanist follows the soloist's tempo and interpretation while filling out the harmonic texture: She spent years as a piano accompaniment for opera singers.
The role requires sensitivity—supporting without overshadowing the featured performer.
