Final answer:

The Concerto grosso sonatas were not a predominant type of sonata in the latter part of the baroque period, as this term conflates two distinct forms: the concerto grosso and the sonata.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of sonata that was not predominant during the latter part of the baroque period was the Concerto grosso sonatas. During this time, several types of sonatas were indeed prevalent. The solo sonatas and trio sonatas were commonly composed and performed, as were chamber sonatas, which typically involved a solo instrument accompanied by a basso continuo, a group of instruments that provided harmonic support.

The term "Concerto grosso sonata" is not commonly used or recognized as a standard form of sonata in Baroque music. In fact, the concerto grosso is a form distinct from the sonata. While both forms flourished during the Baroque era, the concerto grosso is identified by its contrast between a small group of instruments, the concertino, and a larger group, the ripieno.

Addressing the provided information about Baroque art, it is not directly relevant to this question about Baroque music. However, it's notable that both Baroque music and art share features such as complexity, ornamentation, and emotional depth.
