A '''sonata''' is a specific type of music; as distinguished from a "cantata," which is sung, a sonata is generally played on an instrument. The sonata became a highly evolved form of music during the [[classical music|Classical era]], and eventually came to compromise four movements dominated by a single theme, to which the piece would often return.
