👉 A sonata is a type of composition in which one or more movements are performed simultaneously. These movements are usually short pieces that create a unified theme and can include soloists, ensembles, and orchestras. Sonatas often feature complex harmonies, counterpoint, and dramatic motifs to evoke different moods or emotions within the piece. They were first created by composers like Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven in the 18th century, and have since become an essential part of classical music
