Otar Taktakishvili (1924-1989), a composer and conductor from former Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic, devoted his life in the revitalization of Georgian musical heritage and musical education, which contributed greatly to the development of the ethnic music in this area. The dissertation examine one of the most renowned pieces written by Otar Taktakishvili— the “Sonata for Flute and Piano”. This work has three movements, which contains many elements of folk songs. The first movement is in classical sonata form. It features expressive melodic lines that present the motif of the piece. The second movement is in A-B-A form. Intense emotions are embodied in the melody of this movement. The third movement is a Rondo scherzo. This movement contains the motif of the former movement, but is ingenious manipulated in rhythm to create an energetic movement in contrast to the previous two movements. The composer excelled in the manipulation of musical registers and timbre to emphasize the contrasts between movements and to lead the music to its climax. This dissertation is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 is an overview of the dissertation. Chapter 2 introduces the cultural background, the life, and the compositional style of Otar Taktakishvili. Chapter 3 presents an analysis of the Sonata by discussing some characteristics of the Sonata, such as structure, rhythm, melody, tonality, and harmony. Chapter 4 proposes some suggestions for interpretation based on the analysis in Chapter 3. Chapter 5 is the conclusion of the dissertation.
