Here, the tension that was created in the development is released with a return of the exposition material in the home key of the work, in this case C minor. Throughout this entire movement, you have heard the fiery four-note motive and its rhythm many times. In this excerpt, you will hear the music that leads up to the beginning of the recapitulation. The recapitulation begins with the fiery four-note motive, which you hear at the very end of the excerpt. How does Beethoven let you know that this time the four-note motive is the return of the exposition material

Explanation: The third section of sonata-allegro form is an organized structure based on contrasting musical ideas. The sonata-allegro is classified into three sections namely:

- Exposition

- Development

- Recapitulation

It sometimes includes an optional coda at the end.

In the exposition; the main melodic ideas, or themes, are introduced.

The recapitulation deals successfully with the two original themes by placing them both in the tonic key, which is the main tonal center of the piece and almost always the key in which the piece begins and ends.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
