sonata
A sonata is, literally, something "sounded" as opposed to a cantata, or something "sung"; in other words, a sonata is a composition for instruments.
Sonatas are more narrowly defined as usually for a solo instrument and piano, and written in three or four movements of contrasting tempi, or speeds.
