Rondo form is French in origin and suggests coming round or an intermitantly recurring theme (rondeau - 13th & 14th centuries). Bach used it quite a lot. The term was Italianised to 'rondo' by Mozarts time and used more widely since 17th century by composers to mean a piece of music with a regularly recurring theme, eg. section A B A C A D A etc. The 'A' being the recurring or 'rondo' theme. Examples include many of Mozart and Beethoven sonatas (sonata-rondo) where the first episode (B) first appears in a key other than the tonic but reappears later in the tonic, just like the second subject in standard sonata form. Also sometimes used in Italian Opera. Often used in the third movement of sonatas and concertos. A clear example is the third movement of Hayden's Trumpet Concerto where the openning 12 bars is revisited regularly in similar or altered forms.

A classic example of a song with rondo form is "Turkish Rondo" (Rondo alla Turca) from Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331, which features a recurring A section interspersed with contrasting episodes. Another example is "The Entertainer" by Scott Joplin, which showcases a similar structure with its repeating main theme and varied sections. These compositions highlight the characteristic features of rondo form through their catchy, repeating melodies and contrasting sections.
Some examples of musical forms used in classical music compositions include sonata form, rondo form, theme and variations, and fugue.

A few sites say that the Moldau is in a rondo-like form with eight sections. Another says it is in ternary form. I guess, then, it has no clear-cut form, but the fact that the main theme recurs gives more reason for it to be in rondo.
rajon rondo people think that shawn marion shoots with both but he only doesn't extend. Rondo has the worst form because he doesn't tuck in his elbows.
It dates as far back as the 18th century, ex. Mozart's Rondo in A Minor for piano, K 511 (1787).
