development of themes
recapitulation: emergence during embryonic development of various characters or structures that appeared during the evolutionary history of the strain or species; (music) the section of a composition or movement (especially in sonata form) in which musical themes that were introduced earlier are repeated; a summary at the end that repeats the substance of a longer discussion; (music) the repetition of themes introduced earlier (especially when one is composing the final part of a movement)
contrasting episodes
1. A tonal plan that involves a) establishing a main tonality, b) building up tension by introducing one or more new tonalities, c) dissolving this tension by bringing the music back to and concluding it in its original tonality. a) and b) constitute the first part of the sonata movement, c) the second. 2. A sonata movement often opens with a bold statement of a theme, melody, or group of distinct motives, which help to establish the original tonality. New tonalities, then, get often marked by the introduction of new, and often contrasting, themes. The process of dissolution of tonal tension, accordingly, can be "staged" by the composer as a conflict and reconciliation between themes. The underlying process, however, is about tonalities.
A Sonata piece is four movements (fast, slow, dance, fast), but sonata form is three sections within one of those movements (A B A)
It depends.For instance, a sonata allegro movement may be set up like this: Introduction, First Theme, Second Theme (in a contrasting key), repeat of the First and Second Theme (the first statements of these themes are called the Exposition), then the Development, then repeat of the Exposition in the key of the First Theme and then Coda.A sonata allegro movement may be set up differently, though, with more themes, with two Expositions or twoDevelopments etc.And of course there are other kinds of movements besides sonataallegro!Often sonatas have three or four movements but there are some that have more or fewer. It depends on what the composer needs to develop the basic material of the music and how this will be done over time for clarity or emotional effect.

A sonata is a three-movement piece for solo piano or any solo instrument with or without piano accompaniment. Sonata-allegro refers to a particular form originally used in one-movement pieces, later incorporated in the three-movement sonata which was named for the form. A typical sonata-allegro form is I first theme, expansion II second theme, expansion III development of the opening theme or themes IV recapitulation of the themes V coda Sonata-allegro originally included tonal relationships between the first and second themes, tonal freedom during the development, and tonal unity of the recapitulation and coda.

The recapitulation.
Bert. Rondo or Rondó means "round". This movement is a "circle" that has different themes (and their developments).
One predominant contrasting imagery in "Paradise Lost" is light and darkness. Light often symbolizes God and goodness, while darkness represents Satan and evil. Another contrasting imagery is that of heaven and hell, with heaven symbolizing order and harmony, while hell represents chaos and turmoil. These contrasting images serve to emphasize the themes of good versus evil and the consequences of disobedience.
the conflict of tonalities between the first and second themes.
In most sonatas, there are two themes that occur, the first and second subject. These are played and sometimes repeated. Following that there is a section of developement, in which both themes are changed and fused in various ways. Following that is the recapitulation, where the themes are repeated, often with minor variation. A perfect example of this kind of sonata is Schubert's Unfinished symphony, mvt 1. This said, smaller chamber music sonatas have been known to only have one subject, and romantic music sucha as that of Dvorak often had three or more subjects.
- The sonata-allegro form is made of three sections: an exposition, a development and a recapitulation. The exposition has two themes. The development is often an improvisation over the exposition with modulations, and it is the composer's place to be creative and "show off" his abilities. The recapitulation is a repeat of the two themes from the exposition, and it ends with a coda. - A rondo is a form where the piece moves from one theme to the next. For example, it could be ABCDE... It could also repeat the A theme throughout, thus ABACADA... - A concerto is a sonata written for an instrument accompanied by an orchestra. Note that sonata-allegro form is not the same as a sonata! Most first movements of sonatas are in sonata-allegro form.
