No 2 pieces in sonata form are exactly same, but they share some recognizable features. Recapitulation ( nal a) opening idea contrasting idea in diff. key is introduced takes music materials from exposition, and then manipulates it like crazy, unstable repeats material rst presented in exposition, but with 2nd theme from exposition in tonic key. Drama of sonata form similar to wizard of oz: Exposition - themes of song are introduced - black and whit part introduces main characters.
