Does anyone know what a typical sonata form would be? I am composing a sonata for viola and piano and would like it to be in three movements. Any help would be great.

Intro/Exposition/Developement/Recapitulation/Coda:/. My all time favorite sonata for viola is by Rebecca Clarke. The first movement starts out triumphantly, then the 2nd movement is very light and playful(with a bit of mystery), and then the 3rd movement is sadder than the rest but yet it has a glorious ending, with great mysterious build up. The whole piece kind of tells a story, free to be imagined by its listeners.

Sonata form is not the same as the genre sonata. As far as the genre, you can pretty much do whatever you want.

2nd Movement
Composers have done different things reuse sonata form or rondo form
3rd movement
Rondo Form(too much to type) or reuse sonata form. Theme and variations, the possibilities are endless when it comes to the last two movements
