Elements of Sonata Theory - Hepokoski, James (Professor of Music, Professor of Music, Yale University) a Darcy, Warren (Professor of Music Theory, Professor of Music Theory, Oberlin College Conservatory)

Elements of Sonata Theory is a comprehensive rethinking of the basic principles of sonata form in the decades around 1800. This foundational study outlines a new, up-to-date paradigm for understanding the compositional choices found in the instrumental works of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven: sonatas, chamber music, symphonies, overtures, and concertos.
