chiesa [I], da chiesa, per chiesa—church. Used in "Sonata da chiesa" to distinguish a "church" sonata from a "chamber" sonata (Sonata da camera). A chamber sonata tends to include dance movements whereas a church sonata emphasizes counterpoint. Such distinctions are often quite blurry in practice.
duo, duet, dueto [S], duetto [I], duett [G]—a work for two instruments; the ensemble itself
sonata, sonate, suonato—a complicated term. Originally, "sounded" rather than "sung" (sonar vs. cantar), e.g. instrumental music. 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. In general usage as a work title, it designates a multi-movement piece for solo or duo instruments with one of the instruments enjoying a feature role.
