In a small number of sonata forms scattered across the nineteenth century, the development is followed immediately by a return of the subordinate theme, the main theme coming back only later or not at all. How to interpret these forms - often casually referred to as sonata forms with 'reversed recapitulation' - has been a topic of debate among theorists within the newFormenlehre. While some (e.g. Hepokoski and Darcy 2006, Smith 2019 and Hepokoski 2021) have argued against the 'reversed recapitulation' model and in favour of an understanding along the lines of the (eighteenth-century) 'type 2 sonata', others (e.g. Wingfield 2008, Wingfield and Horton 2012 and Vande Moortele 2017) have problematised that position on historical and analytical grounds.This article weighs the arguments for and against the various positions, at once problematising the type 2 approach and arguing for a more restrictive application of the reversed recapitulation idea. Analyzing more and less familiar pieces by Mendelssohn (Octet, Op. 20/ii), Schumann (Symphony No. 4/iv), Martucci (Piano Trio Op. 62/iv), Hartmann (Piano Sonata Op. 34/iv) and Hummel (Piano Sonata Op. 106/iv), it develops ways of thinking about these forms that move beyond the dichotomy between type 2 and reversed recapitulation by introducing the categories of 'main-theme deletion' and 'development-recapitulation fusion
