He devoted his life to the revitalization of Georgian musical heritage and musical education. Due to this, he contributed greatly to the development of Georgian ethnic music.
This dissertation examines one of the most renowned pieces written by Taktakishvili— the “Sonata for Flute and Piano.” The three-movement work contains many elements of folk songs. The first movement is in classical sonata form. It features evocative and melodic lines that express the motivation behind this piece. The second movement is in the A-B-A form. Intense emotions are embodied in the melodies within this movement. The third movement is a Rondo scherzo. It contains the elements of the former and yet is ingeniously manipulated in rhythm to create an ambiance different from that of the previous two movements. The composer has excelled in his adroit handling of the musical register. The timbre of his musical output emphasizes the contrasts between the movements and leads the music to its crescendo.

Chapter 3 presents an analysis of his most celebrated Sonata in terms of its structure, rhythm, melody, tonality, and harmony. Chapter 4 presents some suggestions based on the analysis done in Chapter 3. Chapter 5 concludes the dissertation.
