Rondo

The Rondo is a musical form characterized by the repetition of a melody interspersed with several other less prominent parts, often used in the final movements in sonatas, symphonies, and quartets. Formally, the main theme is labeled A, and parts labeled B, and C alternate with it to create the rondo form: ABACA. In the Rondo, the main theme must be repeated at least three times, thus at least two episodes of new material are required.

The Rondo indie works can also be added to the overture, intermediate transition, ending, etc., but the main part is the Rondo. The rondo is divided into two categories, one is a single revolving piece in each part, and the other is a compound rondo in each part. The rondo has a lively and enthusiastic character, which is suitable for a happy atmosphere and is mostly used for dance music. It can also be used as one of the major pieces of a large-scale work, and the last part of the general concerto uses a rondo.
