Partita
Question Author
Ahhh! Thank you. Learnt a new word!
partita
17a. Cantata
Cantata is correct ( a composition for one or more voices)
Partita is an instrumental piece.
Having looked at many musical dictionaries I'm going for partita whcich often mentions suite and sometimes solo instrument.
the question is asking for a suite for a solo instrument


par·ti·ta/pärˈtētə/
Noun:
A suite, typically for a solo instrument or chamber ensemble.

From a musical point of view both Partita and Cantata are correct because the voice is also an intrument, so I feel that they should accept either answer, but most probably would be looking for Partita.
