Title page of Franz Rigler's "Three Rondos" (1790) First page of the manuscript for Mozart's Adagio and Rondo for glass harmonica, flute, oboe, viola and cello. The rondo is a musical form that contains a principal theme (sometimes called the "refrain") which alternates with one or more contrasting themes, generally called "episodes", but also occasionally referred to as "digressions" or ...
Rondo form involves the repeated use of a theme (sometimes called the "refrain") set in the tonic key, alternating with episodes, resulting in forms such as ABACA (the five-part rondo) or ABACADA (the seven-part rondo). In a rondo, the refrain (A) may be varied slightly. The episodes (B, C, D, etc.) are normally in a different key than the tonic.
The rondò is distinct from the refrain form called rondo. [6] In recent English and German musical literature, the Italian spelling and pronunciation (with accent on the last syllable) has been adopted to distinguish this from the (predominantly instrumental) form called rondo (with accent on the first syllable).
The "Rondo" results in an ABACA form. Chronologically, the first refrain (A) (mm. 1–35) beginning in E ♭ major, repeats each section, (a) and (ba), forming (aababa).

The song forms the refrain for a rondo. The contrasting episodes of the rondo are derived from the song-melody and are all in the minor. [5] The final movement was originally composed as the overture to Haydn's opera La fedeltà premiata (“Fidelity Rewarded”), a detail which has helped secure the dating of the symphony. [6]
The second movement is a slow and mournful andante, beginning in E minor and finishing in E major. The third a rondo, with the refrain in A minor and two episodes - primarily in C major, than in F major. The final sentence of the third movement contains the allusion to the famous Caprice #24.
