The first part of the sonata form is called the exposition. In this section, the main themes of the piece are introduced, typically featuring two contrasting themes in different keys. The exposition sets the stage for the development section that follows, where these themes are explored and manipulated.

Arcangelo Corelli was an influential Italian composer and violinist of the Baroque era, known for his significant contributions to the development of the violin and string music. Born in 1653 in Fusignano, Italy, he is best known for his concerti grossi and sonatas, which laid the groundwork for future composers. Corelli's music emphasized melody and harmony, and he played a crucial role in establishing the trio sonata as a popular form. His works remain essential in the violin repertoire and continue to be performed widely today.

I'm not sure what you mean... The form of the sonata is sonata form. Or if you want to get fancy, it's First Movement Sonata-Allegro Form.

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.
It is typically four movements. The first is fast and in sonata form The second is slow The third is a scherzo or minuet in trio form The fourth is fast and in sonata or rondo form
Many compositions feature a single movement in sonata form, but one notable example is Beethoven's "Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2," commonly known as the "Moonlight Sonata." The first movement of this sonata exemplifies the sonata form, consisting of an exposition, development, and recapitulation. This structure allows for a rich exploration of themes within a cohesive framework. Other examples include various concertos and symphonic movements that adopt a similar single-movement sonata form approach.
double exposition
A sonata is a three-movement piece for solo piano or any solo instrument with or without piano accompaniment. Sonata-allegro refers to a particular form originally used in one-movement pieces, later incorporated in the three-movement sonata which was named for the form. A typical sonata-allegro form is I first theme, expansion II second theme, expansion III development of the opening theme or themes IV recapitulation of the themes V coda Sonata-allegro originally included tonal relationships between the first and second themes, tonal freedom during the development, and tonal unity of the recapitulation and coda.
Sonata form is a musical structure used in the 18th century. The three movements of sonata form are exposition, development, and recapitulation.
Sonatas. Just an "s" on the end.
The order of movement in a symphony was broken down into four or five parts. The first part was usually a slow introduction, followed by a slow movement, then a minuet, and finally a rondo or sonata-allegro.
The direction on Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata is "quasi una fantasia," which means like a fantasy. The first movement is in a free form in which the melody returns after slight developments, somewhat akin to a slow rondo. The whole sonata is perhaps the most unstructured of all Beethoven's works in that form.
