<BR>
'Sonata form' being developed in the middle of the 18th century as (or at least simultaneously with) 'opera seria aria form', a large majority of opera seria arias, fast and slow, can serve as examples. Be prepared to find all typical 18th-century varieties (see Hepokosky & Darcy's taxonomy):<BR>
1. binary sonata without development (retransition instead)<BR>
2. binary sonata with recap only from second theme/key area onwards (merging development and recap of theme 1)<BR>
3. ternary sonata, with development ('textbook sonata form')<BR>
All of these mostly mixed with elements we also know from 'concerto form': orchestral introduction (longer of shorter, introducing one ore more of the main themes), cadential tuttis ('ritornellos') closing exposition and recapitulation, the latter interrupted by a cadenza. (I guess H & D would label these 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.)<BR>
<BR>
The entire early vocal work of Mozart is a true gold mine, both operas (seria) and sacred work. Check e.g. <I>Idomeneo</I> (almost all numbers), the Kyrie in d, K 341, the Glorias of the Masses K. 317 and 337. From the Mass in c, K 427: 'Laudamus te', 'Quoniam', 'Et incarnatus est', and 'Benedictus'. But also many of <I>Die Entführung</I>'s arias (Nos. 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 17) are in sonata form. Less so in the later operas where Mozart developed his new ensemble technique.<BR>
<BR>
Good luck!<BR>
