metadata.dc.description.other-abstract: This study aims to provide effective strategies for overcoming technical challenges while incorporating the researcher’s interpretative insights. Focusing on the technical aspects of the sonata, specifically bowings, fingerings, special effects, dynamics, expression, tempo, and ensemble with the piano, this research offers a detailed analysis and discussion. Additionally, a practice guide is provided to assist performers in mastering challenging passages and techniques. The findings, derived through artistic research, allow for modifications to Debussy’s original manuscript while maintaining fidelity to his artistic intentions. These modifications include adjustments to bowings, fingerings, dynamics, special effects, and pizzicato. The findings of this research emphasize the critical role of bowings and fingerings, with modifications made to better align with Debussy’s artistic intentions regarding phrasing, dynamics, and special effects. Pizzicato is particularly significant in the Sonata for Cello and Piano, and through an analysis of its various forms, the researcher has developed distinct execution methods for each. Additionally, techniques such as spiccato, sautillé, and ricochet have been assigned to specific passages to enhance interpretative precision. Both artificial and natural harmonics appear in the sonata, with the researcher presenting multiple execution options. The Sonata for Cello and Piano also presents technical challenges, including string crossings, dynamic contrasts, fast passages, and leaping intervals. To address these, the researcher proposes a corrective bow exercise and four left-hand practice methods designed to improve ease and muscle memory
