Abstract
The thesis serves as extended program notes supporting my master’s level graduation recital in piano performance at Pittsburg State University. The repertoire to be presented consists of the Prelude and Fugue BWV 849, in C sharp minor by Johann Sebastian Bach; Piano Sonata Op. 81a "Les Adieux" by Ludwig van Beethoven; Pour le Piano by Claude Debussy and Variations on a Theme by J.S. Bach from the Cantata, Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen by Franz Liszt. This document includes writings on the historical context of each of these works, a musical analysis, as well as interpretative suggestions based on the different aesthetic characteristics of the previously mentioned composers.
