of Piano Music
M. Nuki |
This
study aimed at identifying the fundamental factors of music memorization
through the actual performance (reproduction) of a specially prepared
composition, the subsequent analysis of the observed musical behavior,
and questionnaire results. The crucial factors 'in musical memorization
were found to lie in the abilities of solfege-inner ear training-and
music construction based on the knowledge of harmony and composition.
The statistical results indicated that the ability to memorize music
correlates highly to sight-reading abilities.
