RecapitulationIn music theory, the third major section of a movement written in sonata form. The recapitulation re-presents the thematic material that originally appeared in the exposition section, placing it all in the tonic key (that is, the overall key of the movement).The recapitulation is not always a straightforward image of the exposition; it usually contains a secondary development section, and also sometimes rearranges the order of the musical material.
