Conclusion (music)

In music, the conclusion is the ending of a composition and may take the form of a coda or outro.

Pieces using sonata form typically use the recapitulation to conclude a piece, providing closure through the repetition of thematic material from the exposition in the tonic key. In all musical forms other techniques include "altogether unexpected digressions just as a work is drawing to its close, followed by a return...to a consequently more emphatic confirmation of the structural relations implied in the body of the work."[1]


For example:

"" as recorded by Prince is an excellent example of an outro-solo, as is "Hotel California" as recorded by The Eagles.

Purple Rain

"" as recorded by Pearl Jam.
