In sonata-allegro form, the recapitulation typically restates themes in the home key, providing resolution rather than turmoil. It may not be an exact repetition of the exposition, which allows for some variations. The key takeaway is that themes are presented in the same order, emphasizing the work's structural integrity. ;
