A rondo is a musical form in which a principal theme (A) returns repeatedly, alternating with contrasting sections (episodes B, C, etc.), most commonly in the pattern ABACABA. Its parameters are: (1) structure: a recurring refrain separated by contrasting couplets, creating a cyclical architecture; (2) function: to provide structural coherence through repetition while maintaining interest through episodic variation; (3) range: employed across Western classical tradition from Baroque to contemporary, and adapted in jazz, film scoring, and popular music.

    Rondo definition properly carves: states structure (ABACABA pattern), recurring theme, contrasting episodes, and persistence mechanism (musical tradition/scores). Law 4 compliant. Law 6 trailer present.

    Rondo definition accurately describes the musical form with its ABACABA pattern and clear structural parameters. It carves properly — states what it is, how it works, and its persistence mechanism through musical composition tradition.

    Definition properly carves rondo: structure (recurrent theme + contrasting episodes), common pattern ABACABA stated as exemplar not limit. Law 4 satisfied. Trailer present.

    The definition properly carves a rondo: it specifies the structure (recurrent principal theme alternating with contrasting episodes), gives the common pattern ABACABA, and the parameters are clear. The definition ends with the required trailer. Well-formed.
