Apart from the differences in instruments between concertos and sonatas, are there any other major differences? At the moment I'm composing a piece for clarinet and piano which is intended to be a cut down version of a concerto (like you can get the Mozart concerto but arranged for clarinet and piano), but even if I added orchestral parts, would it still be a sonata or would it be a concerto? I'm intending it to have three movements by the end of it; I've finished the second movement already (did it for my GCSE composition) and I'm now in the beginning stages of the 1st movment. If I added orchestral parts, would it then be a concerto or not?

I always thought a concerto was for a solo instrument and orchestra and a sonata was just a solo instrument (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
