_Development_ (measures 34-58). _Retransition_ (59-62). _Principal Theme_--omitted. _Subordinate Theme_, as before (63-76). _Codetta_. 3. DISLOCATION OF THEMATIC MEMBERS.--By this is meant, any exchange or alteration of the regular and expected arrangement of members. This can refer, naturally, only to what occurs _after the Exposition_,--that is, during the Recapitulation; for it is the Exposition which determines the plan, and regular order, of the thematic members. For example, Mozart, pianoforte sonata. No. 13, first movement:-- _Principal Theme_, with _Transition_ (measures 1-27). _Subordinate Theme_ (28-41). _Codetta I_ (42-53). _Codetta II_ (54-58). In the Recapitulation, the arrangement is thus:-- _Principal Theme, Codetta I, Subordinate Theme, Codetta II_; that is, the first codetta appears before, instead of after, the Subordinate theme. 4. MIXTURE OF CHARACTERISTIC TRAITS.--This process tends to affiliate the two distinct classes of larger or higher forms, whose respective characteristics were explained and compared at the beginning of Chapter XVI. Upon very careful revision of this explanation, and reference to the given diagrams, the student will perceive that the distinctive trait of the sonata-allegro form is the section of Development which it contains; and that of the three Rondo-forms is the absence of such a Development. Of the mixed forms under consideration there are two: one in which a section of _Development_ is introduced into the Rondo (as substitute for one of its Subordinate themes); and the other a sonata-allegro, in which the Development is omitted, and a new theme (a sort of additional Subordinate theme) inserted in its place. In other words, a Rondo (second or third form--probably _not_ the first rondo-form) with a Development; and a sonata-allegro with a new Middle theme, or Episode (as we have already called it). The Rondo with Development is illustrated in Beethoven, pianoforte sonata, op. 27, No. 1, last movement; it is the third rondo-form, designed as follows:-- _Principal Theme_, Two-Part form (measures 1-24). _Transition_ (25-35). _First Subordinate Theme_, period, extended,--or phrase-group (36-56). _Codetta_ (57-72). _Re-transition_ (73-81). _Principal Theme_ (82-97). _Transition_ (98-106). Then, instead of the Second Subordinate theme, a _Development_ (106-138); followed by an elaborate _Re-transition_ (139-166), and a reg
