- Harp Trio, Trio for flute, viola, and harp—a standard chamber music ensemble or work for that ensemble first popularlized by Claude Debussy's Sonata for flute, viola, and harp. With its unique and compelling timbre, texture, and "atmosphere", the "harp trio" ensemble is a uniquely 20th-century creation more or less coinciding with the technical perfection of the modern chromatic pedal harp around the turn of the century.

According to historical period, sonata began to imply a formal plan of movements as well as the structure within a single movement, e.g. "sonata form" and applies to instrumental sonatas, string quartets, symphonies, etc., all examples of the sonata principle.
