Abstract

Franck Violin Sonata in A Major represents the pinnacle of late French Romanticism and stands as a seminal work in the 19th-century violin sonata repertoire. This paper conducts a systematic musical analysis of the composition, culminating in the identification of pedagogical focal points for violin instruction based on this work. The study is structured into three principal sections. The initial section provides a comprehensive musical analysis of both the composer and the composition. The second section examines the specific technical challenges and pedagogical priorities within Franck Violin Sonata. The concluding section presents practical methodologies for targeted instructional training, aimed at enhancing students' technical proficiency and musical literacy.
