The transcriptions of Franz Liszt (1811-1886) and Anton Rubinstein (1829-1894) on Beethoven's "Marcia alla turca" serve as unique examples within the area of transcription since each of these important virtuosos transcribed the movement with drastically different results. Liszt's Capriccio alla turca (1846) is built on Beethoven's thematic materials although it is presented with a greatly embellished accompaniment providing countermelodies, expanded passages, and vigorous rhythmic features. In contrast, Rubinstein's Turkish March (1848) attempts to capture Beethoven's original (1811) as closely as possible adhering to the form and harmonies. Each composer's approach served to showcase new pianistic innovations capturing orchestral sonorities at the piano previously unimagined. This dissertation offers musical insight for two less well-known works from significant pianist-composers which should receive further attention. Additionally, this research provides greater documentation for the compositions of Rubinstein, supplementing the historical accounts of his abilities as a performer. Examination and comparative analysis of each transcription not only illuminates the creative approaches each composer employed in creating his transcription, but also serves pianists wishing to perform these neglected works.

The research consisted of investigating the history of psychology, its dichotomies, and theoretical and methodological oppositions. In addition, Vygotsky s views on psychology s crisis have served as the point of departure for the comprehension of the dialectical method in the field of psychology. We have tried and differentiated Marx s dialectics from other views on dialectics that have appeared throughout the history of philosophy, and we have conceptualized psychology s research method. The object of study of this work is a doctoral thesis in which the author identifies the application of the dialectical method and its articulation with Cultural-Historical Theory. This work is organized in the following way: a brief history of psychology; the research method; definition of the elements of Marxist dialectics; an outline of Cultural-Historical Theory as seen in Vygotsky, Leontiev and Rubinstein; presentation and analysis of the data; and conclusion / Esta pesquisa verificou a articulação do método dialético de Karl Marx a Teoria Histórico-Cultural. Para se alcançar o objetivo proposto neste trabalho visitou-se a história da psicologia, evidenciou as dicotomias e oposições teóricometodológicas no interior da ciência psicológica e tomou-se o pensamento de Vygotsky, acerca da crise da psicologia, como ponto de partida para a compreensão do método dialético na psicologia. Procurou-se, diferenciar a dialética de Marx das demais visões de dialética ao longo da história e discutir esse método de pesquisa na psicologia. Tomou-se como objeto de analise uma tese de doutorado, em cuja tese estudada procurou-se identificar o uso do método dialético e sua articulação com a pesquisa em Teoria Histórico-Cultural, a partir do discurso da autora da tese pesquisada. A organização textual desta tese deu-se da seguinte forma: breve histórico da psicologia; o método da pesquisa; definição das categorias da dialética marxista; apresentação da Teoria Histórico-Cultural a partir de Vygotsky, Leontiev e Rubinstein. Apresentou-se e analisou-se os dados coletados da tese utilizada como elemento de análise, finalizou-se este trabalho com uma breve conclusão
