What are the similarities and differences between a Baroque period opera, oratorio, and cantata?

All three tell a story or narrative. An opera is a full theatrical production with sets and costumes and is usually secular. The oratorio is like an opera, but it's a concert piece without the acting and the content can usually be sacred. Cantata is similiar to oratorio, except it was used as a part of church services (this changed during later periods of music).

Using Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, explain both the multimovement cycle and sonata-allegro form. [A] Antonio [R] Receives [M] Many [R] Ranks

The Multi-movement cycle form is a three or four movement structure used in Classical era instrumental music- especially in the symphony, sonata, concerto, and in chamber music; each movement is in a prescribed tempo and form; sometimes called sonata cycle. E.K.N is an example. It has four movements that follow the multi-movement cycle: 1) Allegro (Sonata-Allegro Form) 2) Romanze: Andante 3) Menuetto: Allegretto 4) Rondo: Allegro
