The role of analytical prestudy in the memorization and retention of piano music with subjects of varied aural/kinaesthetic ability

This study investigated the relationship of aural/kinaesthetic (A/K) ability, the ability to play by ear, to the time and number of repetitions needed for 16 subjects using four methods of prestudy to memorize and rememorize four compositions. Two of the methods involved studying the score before beginning practice at the piano. The other two methods were control methods, in which subjects began practicing immediately.
