Sonata form is different to other musical forms such as binary and ternary form, in that it comprises aspects of both. For example, its use of key relationships (e.g. tonic to dominant and back to tonic) is similar to that of binary form, whereas the fact that it is divided into three parts makes it similar to ternary form.

Later, the sonata form also developed a coda, which was not present in binary or ternary form.

In a concerto, the exposition (first of three parts) is divided into two parts, one for the entire orchestra to play first and then the soloist. The modulation is found in the soloists part.
