1coda
2exactly repeated the same subject, a few chords or measures are added to form an ending that satisfies the ear; this is called a coda.
33. Also something added to the regular ending of a passage or movement of a composition to make a more complete and effective ending. Originally this was only a few simple chords or measures usually ending with a cadence or ornament which followed the regular ending of the movement. It was elaborated gradually until now it often forms a complete part by itself, especially in the works of Beethoven, who makes it a strong summary of the movement or piece and an important part of the composition, even introducing new material into it. In forms like canon, rondo and sonato it often forms an almost separate division of the composition.
