Contents • • • • • • • • • Structure [ ] An explanation of sonata rondo form requires first some preliminary coverage of rondo form and sonata form. Involves the repeated use of a theme, set in the key, with episodes, each involving a new theme, intervening among the repetitions, like this: A B A C A D A. Sometimes the A section is varied slightly. The episodes (B, C, D, etc.) are normally in a different key from the tonic. A sonata form movement is divided into sections. It may begin with an, which is commonly slower than the remainder of the movement.

This takes the form of one or two or theme groups, the second of which is commonly in a related. This is often the in major-key movements, or the in minor-key movements. The two groups are linked via a, or bridge, passage. The exposition may conclude with a short and/or closing theme, and may be repeated.

In the succeeding section, existing thematic material may be presented in new harmonic and textural contexts, and/or entirely new material may be introduced. The development transitions into the, where all themes or theme groups from the exposition are now presented in the key. [A B'] exp [C'] dev [A B] recap In the notation, a single prime (') means 'in the dominant' and a double prime (') means 'in remote keys'. Occasionally, sonata form includes an 'episodic development,' which uses mostly new thematic material.

Two examples are the first movements of 's. The episodic development is often the kind of development that is used in sonata rondo form, to which we now turn. The simplest kind of sonata rondo form is a sonata form that repeats the opening material in the tonic as the beginning of the development section. [A B'] exp [ A C'] dev [A B] recap By adding in this extra appearance of A, the form reads off as AB'AC'AB, hence the alternation of A with 'other' material that characterizes the rondo. Note that if the development is an episodic development, then C' will be new thematic material—thus increasing the resemblance of sonata rondo form to an actual rondo. The 'delayed return' variant in Mozart [ ] sometimes used a variant type of sonata rondo form in which the themes of the recapitulation are rearranged: the opening bars reappear quite late, after most of the music of the exposition has been recapitulated, but before the final sequence of themes ('Codetta') that rounds off the section. Thus: [A B' Codetta] exp [A C'] dev [ B A Codetta] recap Mozart's purpose was perhaps to create a sense of variety by not having the main theme return at such regular intervals.

He used the form in the finales of his and a number of his. Codas [ ] Often, regular sonata form includes a: [A B'] exp [C'] dev [A B] recap [D] coda This longer version of sonata form has a counterpart in sonata rondo form. If the coda is arranged to begin with the opening material, then we have yet another instance of A: [A B'] exp [A C'] dev [A B] recap [ A D] coda Thus: AB'AC'ABAD. An example is the last movement of Beethoven's, Op. Sonata rondo form as a variant of rondo form [ ] It is also possible to describe sonata rondo form by starting out with rondo form and describing how it is transformed to be more like sonata form.
