Both themes from the exposition return in the tonic key. What section is this of sonata form. [1]
Answer Details
The section of sonata form where both themes from the exposition return in the tonic key is the recapitulation. [1] In the exposition, the first subject is presented in the tonic key and the second subject in a contrasting key (typically the dominant or relative major). After the development section explores and transforms this material through various keys, the recapitulation restores stability by bringing back both subjects, this time both in the tonic key. This return to the home key resolves the harmonic tension built up during the development and gives the movement a sense of completeness and resolution.
