  Rondo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rondo, and its French equivalent rondeau, is a word that has been used in music in a number of ways, most often in reference to a musical form, but also in reference to a character-type that is distinct from the form.
A common expansion of rondo form is to combine it with sonata form, to create the sonata rondo form.
Rondo as a character-type (as distinct from the form) equates to music that is fast and vivacious—normally allegro.

Compound ternary form results from the juxtaposition of a binary form (statement) with another binary form (contrast), followed by a reprise of the first binary form (restatement).
In simple ternary form, each section is either a single period or a group of phrases, without the internal binary organization of the compound ternary.
Five-part form extends the alternation of tonic refrains and non-tonic episodes.

Rondo form involves the repeated use of a theme, set in the tonic key, with episodes, each involving a new theme, intervening among the repetitions, like this:
In the recapitulation, the original opening material is repeated in some form, then the material that earlier moved to the dominant is repeated in some form--but this time in the tonic.
Mozart, in his piano concertos, often 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.

The single-phrase ritornello and short couplets of the old form are in the sonata style replaced by a broadly designed melody and well-contrasted episodes in different keys.
If the form of a Bach or Cuperin rondo may be represented by A B A C A D A, andc., the various forms of the later rondo may be represented somewhat as follows: placing on a horizontal line those parts that are in the main key, and representing other keys by differences of level:

In order to maintain the textbook definition of the rondo form and to perpetuate the sectional appearance of the form, most theorists will group the various transitory passages under the umbrella of the episode so that any material that cannot be said to belong to the refrain therefore belongs to the episode.
In sonata form however the transition is leading to the closing theme of the subordinate-theme complex, still part of the reorganised recapitulation and therefore not yet part of the coda.
The differences from the rondo lie in the missing repeat of the refrain and the lack of independence in episode C. In a movement that possesses all occurrences of the refrain the form might be seen to be more of a rondo than a sonata.

 Beethoven: Rondo opus 4 No
When graphing this form onto the Sonata in E flat, we see that the key centers of each movement follow the New Grove's definition, though the function of the B section is different.
I think that one of the ways in which Beethoven is able to produce a rondo with all its parts intact is by treating the opening of the A material or exposition in the dominant-seventh chord of E flat, (B-flat seventh chord).
One of the most interesting aspects of the rondo in E-flat major is how Beethoven draws on motives from the main rondo theme (the A section) and the B and C sections to unify the piece.

This form, although it sometimes attained fairly considerable dimensions in the 18th cent., is unsuitable for very long pieces, since the variety offered to the listener is almost entirely confined to details of treatment and the element of key, the thematic material employed throughout being the same.
A tendency towards the evolution of simple binary form into compound binary form may be observed in some of Bach's movts., but its first real exploitation is connected with the name and fame of his son, C. Bach, and the further exploitation and elaboration with the names of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and their contemporaries.

 Stalking the Elusive Rondo - Help solve a musical mystery.  By Erik Tarloff
In the classical period, the rondo became one of the favored forms for the final movement of a multi-movement work, especially the concerto, where it was used almost invariably.
The great achievement of the early classical period was the creation of sonata form, a structural innovation that transformed musical discourse into a rigorous tonal dialectic, a closely reasoned and dynamic argument pitting conflicting tonalities and contrasting musical ideas in dramatic opposition to one another.
Ordinarily, as classical forms move further away from their origins, the divergence from the original model is greater and the resemblance to it, if any exists, more tenuous and abstract.

In a textbook sonata form, the first theme is stated in the tonic, followed by the second theme in a closely related key.
In the sonata rondo form, this return of A in the tonic key marks the beginning of the recapitulation of the sonata form, and in the rondo form, it is the expected return of the A theme.
Thus, you can explain the movement as a sonata rondo with the form described as ABACADABA, in which AB is the exposition of a sonata form, ACAD is the development section, and AB is the recapitulation, followed by a varied return of the A theme and then a coda.
