Elements of Sonata Theory is a comprehensive, richly detailed
rethinking of the basic principles of sonata form in the decades around
1800. This foundational study draws upon the joint strengths of current
music history and music theory to outline a new, up-to-date paradigm
for understanding the compositional choices found in the instrumental
works of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and their contemporaries: sonatas,
chamber music, symphonies, overtures, and concertos. In so doing, it
also lays out the indispensable groundwork for anyone wishing to
confront the later adaptations and deformations of these basic
structures in the nineteenth and earlier twentieth centuries.
