A section of music that recurs in different keys throughout a movement is commonly referred to as a **"theme"** or a **"subject."** In some contexts, particularly in a sonata form or a variation form, this recurring section might also be called a **"repeat,"** **"episodic theme,"** or relatedly as a **"modulatory theme."** If the recurring material undergoes transformation or variation each time it reappears, it could also be called a **"theme with variations."** If you're referring specifically to the practice of altering the key for each recurrence, it may also be reminiscent of "thematic development" or "sequences."
