B.

C. Brisk

D. Morose

Correct answer choice is:

A) Slow

Explanation:

Sonata for is a vocal composition consisting of three central parts: an analysis, a development, and a recapitulation. It has been adopted widely since the center of the 18th century. While it is typically done in the first step of multi-movement compositions, it is seldom used in the following steps as well especially the last step.

The correct answer for this question is this one: "A. Slow." A typical opening to a sonata is basically slow. The second and the third movements of a four-movement sonata are typically slow. These movements or dance movements are either minuet or scherzo.
