In [[music]], a '''reprise''' ({{IPAc-en|r|ə|ˈ|p|r|iː|z}} {{respell|rə|PREEZ}},<ref>[http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?repris02.wav=reprise Merriam-Webster Pronunciation]</ref> {{IPA|fr|ʁəpʁiz|lang|LL-Q150 (fra)-WikiLucas00-reprise.wav}}; from the verb {{lang|fr|reprendre}} 'to resume') is the [[repetition (music)|repetition]] or reiteration of the opening material later in a [[musical composition|composition]] as occurs in the [[Recapitulation (music)|recapitulation]] of [[sonata form]], though—originally in the 18th century—was simply any repeated [[section (music)|section]], such as is indicated by beginning and ending [[repeat sign]]s.<ref>Stein, Deborah (2005).

A partial or abbreviated reprise is known as a '''petite reprise''' ({{IPAc-en|p|ə|ˌ|t|iː|t|_|r|ə|ˈ|p|r|iː|z}} {{respell|pə|TEET|_|rə|PREEZ}}, {{IPA|fr|p(ə)tit ʁəpʁiz|lang}}). In [[Baroque music]] this usually occurs at the very end of a piece, repeating the final phrase with added [[Ornament (music)|ornamentation]].
