Monophonic means one instrument playing a single melodic pattern.
Therefore, any solo piece would be monophonic.
However, if there is an accompaniment, the texture would be homophonic or heterophonic. This means all the parts move together (homophony) or two instruments play the same melodic pattern but in harmony (heterophony).
Most classical era music was melody dominated homophony, because most commonly a violin/violins would play the melody, and it would be accompanied by double basses, cellos and various other woodwind instruments.
Classical Music is basically homophonic but I posted a links with things pertaining this topic that you should read.
Homophonic refers to when a single melody line or phrase is played by more than one voicing or group. it also refers to when a melody is being played with a simple accompaniment.

Homophony is where the different parts of the score move in harmony. A good example would be "Chopin's Nocturne in E, Op. 62 No. 2."* Polyphony, however, exists when the parts of the the score move completely independent of each other. "Johann Sebastian Bach's 'Fugue No.17 in A flat', from 'Das Wohltemperirte Clavier' (Part I)"**, is an example of polyphony. *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophony **http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphony

FALSE. Polyphony or polyphonic texture did not become popular until the late Baroque, when Bach and Handel lived.
The Classical period took the polyphony, some structures and the new tonal system from the Renaissance/Baroque period and made it a clearer and mostly homophonic music which is still what is prevalent currently...
