Kyle Gann presents a comprehensive analysis. I also highly recommend his book on Nancarrow!

A major work gets a major analysis: a masterpiece gets a masterpiece. Gann has lived with the Concord his whole life, and now all that love and experience has produced lucid exegesis. I doubt Gann himself would argue that his text is exhaustive, but it’s hard to imagine that there is much more to be done.Gann is kind to performers (he enjoys every Concord recording), he is opinionated but not dictatorial about textural variation, he is constantly looking for ways to connect Ives’s pitches to the ethos of American Transcendentalism. As a bonus, there are substantial notes on the Piano Sonata No. 1 and an essay on the complete songs. The book is vast but each and every paragraph is valuable.

From the works I've read about Ives, Kyle Gann's work stands out in its clarity and scholarship! Very helpful for performers especially.
