Answer.
Two-Reprise Continuous Ternary, if looking at the proportion, or Two-Reprise Continuous Rounded Binary, if you interpret the first two notes in bar 13 as being built from the first two notes in bar 1—and if you are considering that Mozart, as a Classical-era composer, is likely to compose a rounded binary. Two-Reprise Continuous Balanced Binary is a label that describes that the endings of the halves are the same, but doesn’t take into account the return of the opening material in bar 21.
