Haydn was instrumental in creating sonata form. Which piece below, written by one of Haydn's successors, represents this form

Question

Handel - Messiah - hallelujah

Igor Stravinsky - the rite of springs

Symphony No. 40 in g Minor K.5

Answer 1

The piece that represents the sonata form among the options you provided is Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Sonata form typically features an exposition, development, and recapitulation, and Mozart's symphonies often exemplify this structure, especially in his symphonic works following Haydn's influence. The other two pieces listed—Handel's "Messiah" and Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring"—do not primarily employ sonata form in their structures.
