Beethoven's Sonata numbered Wo0 47. I thought this was a sonatina. Anybody know any different? And what is the difference between a sonata & a Sonatina? I'm assuming a sonatina is a shorter piece of music than a Sonata.

"A sonatina is literally a small sonata. As a musical term, sonatina has no single strict definition; it is rather a title applied by the composer to a piece that is in basic sonata form, but is shorter, lighter in character, or more elementary technically than a typical sonata"

I got that off wikipedia.
