The three sections of sonata form are as follows.
The EXPOSITION
This is where the melody that the sonata is based on starts.
The DEVELOPMENT
This is where the melody is changed, usually becoming unrecogniseable from the original motif
The RECAPITULATION is where the original melody is compared to the melody that it has been changed to. This sums up the sonata and concludes what has happened to the motif

Recapitulation.
Winds, brass, and percussion.
Alap, Jar, Gat, Jhalla
The four main sections are strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.
It's almost the same except that in a sonata rondo form the main theme is stated between each section (like between the exposition and development sections)
