The Classical Music
 Sonata
• Type of music composition played on instruments
that usually consist of two or four sections where
each is in a related key but with unique music
character
• It originally denoted as a musical piece played on
instruments
• Expressed using one or two instruments

 Structure of a Sonata-Allegro Form
It has three parts: Exposition, Development, and Recapitulation

Exposition is like an introduction to an essay. It introduces the

main themes in a composition
Development is the second part, it expands on the themes
introduced in the exposition. It gives the composer an
opportunity to improvise or move to other key tonalities and
themes.
Recapitulation where the composer settles back to the home
key ad represents the original themes. It restates major ideas of a
musical work.
 Famous sonatas
Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus: Piano
Sonata No. 14 in C Minor, K 457

fast and it features a solo instrument. In a concerto, once
