In the recapitulation, the first theme of the exposition is repeated followed by all the other elements of the exposition, but with modifications to ensure that the piece ends in the tonic key. The second theme and cadence theme are also repeated, but they are now presented in the tonic key instead of the dominant key as in the exposition. The coda is typically a separate section that follows the recapitulation.
