Yes, it may be.

Let' say 90% of concertos 1st mvt written in 19th century were based on the sonata form.

However, it's not really necessary to write it in sonata form nowadays, most of contemporary concertos (as well as in 20th century) are written in various or irregular forms.

The other way to write it, is keep not exactly the sonata form, but the main dramaturgic principles of it. I mean, statement- conflict -development - conclusion. This is too very popular way to construct 1mvt of concerto, just because you may use new, fresh whatever form, but still save the main principles of how 1st mvt. should sound...

What do sonata concerto and symphony have in common?

They are all different things, but interlinked. Sonata form can be thought of as more like a building block in the sense that it would generally be used as the structure for one single movement within a larger work - for example, a movement from a concerto or a symphony (this is something concertos and symphonies have in common). Every standard symphony from the classical era onwards will have a first movement written in sonata form, and often the finale (final movement) will also be in sonata form. Concertos from the classical era onwards will also generally have a first movement based on sonata form, although the structure is somewhat different due to the movement obviously being scored for a soloist as well as an orchestra (that is basically the definition of concerto - a work featuring a soloist and orchestra of some description), which means a there will be a double exposition, usually with first the orchestra (tutti) playing at the beginning of the exposition, then the solo instrument.Of course, I have assumed you mean 'sonata form', rather than the 'sonata' as in a work for one or two instrumentalists, generally with several movements, out of which at least one (but not all) is a sonata form movement, usually the first movement. If you are talking about this meaning of sonata, then it has something in common with the concerto, as both feature a soloist, but a concerto will also feature an orchestra, whereas in a sonata the soloist would perhaps be accompanied by a piano, harpsichord, etc., but certainly not by an orchestra. It also has something in common with the symphony, since they both use sonata form for at least one movement; however, the sonata is quite a different thing to the symphony.To sum up, it depends which way you look at it. Concertos and symphonies are both multi-movement works which use sonata form for at least one movement, so they have that in common. However, the orchestra in a symphony would generally be quite a bit larger than a concerto, particularly a classical era concerto, as otherwise the soloist would be overpowered. Sonata form ties everything together, but it is different to concertos and symphonies as it is the structure of a single movement, not a multi-movement work, and a sonata has some similarities to the concerto, as outlined above, but few to the symphony.


What is a musical piece in which one solo instrument(such as piano or violin ) is ac accompanied by orchestra?

A concerto is a work in three movements, rather than the four movements of a symphony, in which a solo instrument or ensemble is accompanied by an orchestra. The concerto developed earlier than the symphony. As in the symphony, the first movement of the classical concerto is generally in sonata-allegro form, followed by a slow movement and a finale usually in rondo form. The concerto had arisen in the Baroque period, in two types. One was the concerto grosso, in which a small ensemble within the orchestra is contrasted to and accompanied by the full complement. The other was the solo concerto as described.

What is the difference between sonatas and concertos?

The two forms are somewhat similar in structure, as they are also similar to symphonies. They have three or four movements (most often, not always) and the first movement is called "sonata form," a theme being developed, a second theme then being developed, and the first theme being reprised (that is an inadequate description and you can find a better one in any textbook). As to your question, a sonata is played by one instrument (e.g. piano) or one instrument accompanied by piano (e.g. violin, cello, indeed any instrument at all). A concerto is played by one instrument (usually) with a symphony orchestra. (There is a Brahms double concerto for violin and cello, and a Beethoven triple concerto for violin, cello and piano.)

What is a difference between sonata and sonata allegro form?

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.
