There are two kinds of Sonatas based on where music was performed and the two kinds of sonatas are the sonata da chiesa and the sonata da camera. The Sonata Da Chiesa is music which is performed in church while the Sonata Da Camera is music which is performed in the court. We also learnt about Corelli and the Trio Sonata. The Trio Sonata has three lines, staves. However, it is being played by four instruments and not three because the last line is played by two instruments. Also, the base and accompaniment(Organ) is called the Basso Continuo. On the score, there are numbers indicated and the numbers is actually the interval of the notes for the organ to play.
