Reprise
In music, a reprise (/rəˈpriːz/ rə-PREEZ,[1] French: [ʁəpʁiz] ⓘ; from the verb reprendre 'to resume') is the repetition or reiteration of the opening material later in a composition as occurs in the recapitulation of sonata form, though—originally in the 18th century—was simply any repeated section, such as is indicated by beginning and ending repeat signs.[2]
For other uses, see Reprise (disambiguation).A partial or abbreviated reprise is known as a petite reprise (/pəˌtiːt rəˈpriːz/ pə-TEET rə-PREEZ, French: [p(ə)tit ʁəpʁiz]). In Baroque music this usually occurs at the very end of a piece, repeating the final phrase with added ornamentation.
