Rondo is a musical structure. You’ve heard one before.

Think of your favorite pop song. Let’s call the Chorus “A”. Each verse of the song will have a different letter, B, C, D, and so on.

A rondo works like this:

A - Chorus
B - Verse 1
A - Chorus
C - Verse 2
A - Chorus
D - Verse 3

Life is like a rondo.

In between different verses there are main themes, “A”, that return.

The trick is to make each return of “A” better than the last.
