SONATA RONDO FORM is a combination of both Sonata Form and Rondo Form. It was a favorite of Haydn especially who ended many of his later symphonies with a Sonata Rondo Form movement.
The most common schematic for a Sonata Rondo Form movement would be:
A B A C A B A
In this schematic, A serves as both the Main Theme of a Rondo Form movement and Theme 1 of a Sonata Form movement's Exposition.
B serves as both the first episode of a Rondo and Theme 2 in Sonata Form. This section will be in a contrasting key.
C serves as the second episode of a Rondo and the Development section in Sonata Form.
The A and B after the C section serve as a Recapitulation of Themes 1 and 2, now in the same key.
The final A section serves as the last appearance of the Main Theme in a Rondo and as a CODA in Sonata Form.
EXAMPLE - Symphony 94 - Haydn (4th movement)
