What is a sonata called when the whole orchestra plays it?
A sonata that is performed by the entire orchestra is typically referred to as a "sinfonia" or "symphony." While a traditional sonata is usually for a solo instrument or a small group, a symphony involves multiple movements and is composed for a full orchestra. The term "symphony" is more commonly used in this context, especially for larger orchestral works.
Is someone who plays in a Sinfonia orchestra more skilled than a person who plays in a philharmonic orchestra?
The names "symphony orchestra" and "philharmonic orchestra" are synonymous regarding both size of band and quality of players and music-making. The name "sinfonia" would imply that an orchestra is smaller - probably using fewer string players but this is not always the case.
Which section of the orchestra has the most amount of players?
The percussion section has more different instruments than other sections.Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Harp.Woodwinds: Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet, , Bassoon, sometimes Saxophone.Brass: Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, TubaPercussion: Piano, Snare drum, Bass drum, Bells, Chimes, Cymbals, Tam-tam, Xylophone, and others.But in terms of the number of each instrument, as well as the number of players, the string section has far more than the other sections. More than half the players in an orchestra are string players.
Is a symphony the same as an orchestra?
Not really... although the terms are generally used synonomously, these days. An orchestra is defined as an ensemble of different families of instruments. So, that could include concert bands, big bands and the jazz orchestra (big band, 2 horns and strings), among others. A symphony is a specific musical form, usually played by a (fairly) specific ensemble. So, the term "symphony orchestra" is literally an ensemble capable of playing that kind of piece... thus the modern symphony orchestra. Generally, the term "symphony orchestra" is more specific, when talking about the classical ensemble.
