The rondo is characterised by a repeating section or "refrain" called the rondo theme, which alternates with contrasting sections. So the pattern might be A B A C A D A C A B A where A is the repeated rondo theme. A simpler example would be A B A C A B A.
Rondo form developed in the 17th century, out of a much older 13th century French form called the rondeau. The earlier rondeau was a form of poetry with verses and a repeating refrain, often set to music.
Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven often employ rondo form in the last movement of their sonatas, concertos and symphonies.
I wrote this study to illustrate rondo form. It has three themes, here labeled A, B, and C, each of which is stored as a two-part fragment of 8 bars, written for oboe and bassoon, in a baroque style.
