Elements of Sonata Theory: Norms, Types and Deformations in the Late-Eighteenth-Century Sonata. Hepokoski, J. A. & Darcy, W. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2006.
doi  abstract   bibtex   
This book analyses the sonata. Both building on and departing from earlier methods of analysis, it provides an in-depth examination of the sonata genre. After establishing the normative features of the sonata, the authors examine how individual sonatas from Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart both adhere to and deviate from those standards to a variety of effects. Co-authored by a music theorist and a musicologist, the book provides a foundational theory and offers insights on individual works from the Western canon.
