An Integralistic analytical method with the aim of teaching piano sonatas BY L. V. Beethoven

11 ABSTRACT In this work, we introduce an original "Integralistic Analytical Method" with the aim of teaching piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the greatest composers of the classical music whose excellent works occupy a remarkable place in music education. The integralistic analytical method applied on the piano sonata in d minor, Opus 31/2 of the composer, consists of 5 main cathegories such as "formal structure", "motific structure", "general harmonic structure", "phrase interpretation" and "technical difficulties". It is our strong belief that this method will be very useful for pianists, piano educators, music theorists and advanced piano students.
