This thesis deals in particular with the pianist's
approach to the Brahms Sonata for Piano and Violin in D
Minor, Opus 108. There are two chapters, the first of
which takes the form of a bibliography in which
different theoretical aspects for consideration in the
learning of the work are presented.
One of the sections in the first chapter which is
entitled The Pianist, should prove helpful to a
prospective piano teacher, as well as a student of the
Brahms Sonata in D Minor, Opus 10 8. In this section
sources presenting different solutions to technical
problems which the pianist is likely to encounter both
generally, and specifically with regard to this Sonata,
are listed.
The other sections in this chapter include a discography
and comments concerning recordings of the Sonata in D
Minor, Opus 108, which a student of this work and its
composer may consult.
The second chapter of the thesis deals with specific
issues involved in the interpretation based on my
performance of the Sonata in D Minor, Opus 108, for the
practical examination. Three other possible
interpretations by well-known pianists are briefly
evaluated. Attached to the thesis is a cassette tape on
which recommendations for the practising of certain
passages may be heard. / Thesis (M.Mus)-University of Natal, Durban, 1989.
