What does SONATA mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
An instrumental musical composition, usually for a solo instrument or a solo instrument with piano, typically in three or four contrasting movements.
A sonata developed as one of the central forms of Western classical music, with composers such as Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn writing dozens for piano or violin. Each movement of a sonata usually differs in tempo and mood, moving from a fast opening to a slow middle section and a lively finish. The form later shaped larger genres such as the symphony, which applies the same movement structure to a full orchestra.
How SONATA is used
Standard term in classical music, used both for the composition and, in analysis, for its overall structure.
