Sonatina

A Sonatina is a small sonata to play easy to understand and easy; has the first set of Sonatine either no or only a very short implementation, the number of sentences is usually two or three.

The first set

The first sentence of a Sonatina is mostly written in sonata form, thus the term is to be understood here as a discussion of the implementation presented in the exposure issues, not as a term in the fugal composition. It is usually played fast ( allegro or similar).

The second set

The second movement is slow ( andante, adagio, largo ). It can also be a minuet or scherzo. If the Sonatine has only two sets, it is also possible that the first sentence is a slow and the second is a faster, such as Beethoven's Sonatina Op 49, No. 1 in G Minor for Piano. In this sonata form of the first movement is titled Andante, followed by the second (faster ) rate with a Rondo: Allegro.

The third set

Again, this is often a faster rate. It is almost always also a sonata form or rondo.
