The sonata is a musical form which achieved formal development during the Classical period. As such, composers continue to this day using that form. A very few names of composers who wrote in that form are Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn (during the Classical period - 1750-1810) and later during the Romantic period - Brahms, and during the 20th century, Paul Hindemith.
the two main composers were Bach and Handel:P
Beethoven
Composers who worked in the sonata allegro form include Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, Hindemith, Brahms, Poulenc, Saint-Saens, to name just a few. But if you're doing this for a music test, it's probably Beethoven
The sonata have 4 classical period.
Before the sonata-allegro form became prominent in the Classical period, music was primarily structured around earlier forms such as the binary and ternary forms, found in Baroque dance suites and other instrumental compositions. Additionally, the rounded binary form, which features two contrasting sections, influenced the development of sonata-allegro. Composers like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel employed these earlier structures, paving the way for the more complex and formalized sonata-allegro structure that emerged with composers like Haydn and Mozart.
What is the Baroque period of music? The Baroque period refers to an era that started around 1600 and ended around 1750, and included composers like Bach, Vivaldi and Handel, who pioneered new styles like the concerto and the sonata.
Five music composers during the Renaissance period include Giovanni Gabrieli, William Byrd, Pierre de La Rue, Josquin De Prez, and Thomas Tallis. Famous compositions of these artists are the Sonata pian'e forte, Ave verum corpus, O Salutaris Hostia, Mille Regretz, and If Ye Love Me, respectively.
In the romantic period, starting at the end of the classical period with the late Beethoven (see E. T. A. Hoffmann), the sonata form was used to be seen as formal and insufficient to express the wide range of emotions. Schubert, who admired Beethoven and his sonatas, composed many, but with the time the symphonic poems and other more free genres were preferred. Still most symphonies used the sonata form, which has been evolved by composers like Mahler or later Berg to fulfil the new pretensions.

Frequently. The sonata form was developed through the music of Beethoven and several of his contemporaries, including Schubert, Mozart and Haydn. Theses composers all took aspects of the sonata form that were gradually evolving through the late Baroque and early Classical periods, and developed sonata form into a model and structure that it became.
In the classical period of Western music, the late eighteenth century, composers were commissioned by patrons, the owners of orchestras: essentially the church, the nobility, and the opera houses. Beethoven was able to earn enough from publications and public concerts to break out of the patronage relationship, though he was not the first; Marenzio in the sixteenth century and Telemann in the early eighteenth were notable earners, and travelling performer-composers could always have some independence.
