Answer:

Rondo

Step-by-step explanation:

Rondo is the name of a classical musical form developed in the 17th century. This form is characterized by a happy theme (the "refrain") that contrasts with other present themes. The specific number of themes can vary. However, the happy theme generally comes back around. A famous rondo is the final movement of Beethoven's Pathétique piano sonata.
