BeBop
jazz form of the 1940's and 50's, characterized by fast tempo and complex chord patterns, played by small ensembles with often dizzying instrumental virtuosity.
Fugue
a contrapuntal form, beginning with an exposition in which each voice enters with the same subject in turn and proceed in imitation. Unlike a canon, fugues have free passages of imitation and passages without imitation. They commonly have from three to six separate voices. In more complex examples a fugue may have two or three different themes, contrapuntally combined. These are known as double and triple fugues. Fugues were most regularly written in the later Baroque period, but, regarded as a demonstration of compositional virtuosity, have also been written by most composers since then.
Sonata
an instrumental work for a soloist or two players. In early examples by Domenico Scariatti. the piece is in one movement, but in general a sonata is in three or four movements. The first movement is generally in sonata form, followed by a slow movement. In a four-movement sonata, the third movement is usually a scherzo or minuet (although sometimes this is the second movement, preceding the slow movement). The sonata ends with a more extended last movement, usually at a fast tempo. This is the structure that many sonatas follow, although the departure of many of Beethoven's piano sonatas from the model suggests its limitations. Sonatas have been written more or less constantly from the late 18th century onward, and are still being written; there are distinguished examples by such contemporary composers as Pierre Boulez, Jean Barraque, and Elliott Carter.
