Franz Shubert is a creator of German artist songs in 19th century in Austria and he is a representative of early romanticism. All his life, he composed more than six hundred songs and he is called"king of songs". However, people tend to focus attention on his outstanding achievement in the field of artist songs but ignore his value in other fields. As a matter of fact, Piano Sonata plays a special role in his piano creation. Though he just lives for 31 years, he spent most of his time in composing Piano Sonata and he created 22 ones (five of them are not complete). However, Beethoven's passionate emotion and excellent composing techniques that have made the traditional genre of the sonata to the highest point. And it needs more arduous efforts for future generations to surpass him. Beethoven has been the idol of Schubert in his heart, but Schubert's Piano Sonata and Beethoven's Piano Sonata are significantly different. A good family music environment shaped Schubert's romantic temperament of poets. The born special temperament affects all of his creative works, including his art songs and also his piano sonatas. Therefore different from Beethoven'Sonata powerful and short motives, the theme of Schubert's piano sonatas are rich in song-based, and contrasts are not evident. Schubert Sonata takes arduous efforts to make a major breakthrough and innovation, but his piano sonatas do not receive recognition by the people at that time.Until the 100th anniversary of Schubert's death in 1928, Donald Towey published an article Melody which has aroused a fresh look for the Schubert's sonata. Since then, more and more people began to study and explore the music of Schubert. In recent decades, in major competitions as well as in the concert, the Schubert's works of piano sonatas especially frequently appeared. They became models in the teaching field. More and more people began to appreciate and love Schubert's piano sonatas.Op.120/D.664 Sonata of A major Sonata is the one with the most singing of Schubert. This paper takes the first works as a research object and makes a detailed analysis of the structure, summarizing the creation features and methods using literature and material. This thesis also points out his style different from other composers'using the method of comparative analysis, revealing his unique piano sonata style of lyricism and combining with the author's own practice the author also presents the sufficient analysis on touch-key, tone and pedals that can reveal the lyricism. The author hopes that this thesis allows a better understanding of the broad masses of music lovers, the significance of Schubert's sonatas, and plays a role for the practitioners.Piano Sonata of A major op.120, D.664 is of highly romantic lyrical color, which is reflected in its rich singing of the melody creation, taking the grade as the main melody, with beautiful and broad melody. It is easy to sing. It takes the main tone texture-based as the main texture structure and various forms of broken chords as the main accompany tone type, highlighting the special status of main theme. The repeated appearance of creation thought not only deepen the impression of the theme by repeating the theme tune in other parts, but also repeats Lok Sze by separate sections in the form of the use of repeated phrases or the music section learning from art songs and songs. To make the emotions even more colorful, it uses attached points, triplet and two pairs of third-class irregular rhythm.As the style of lyricism is the most important art feature of this works, it becomes a necessary procedure to investigate how this style of the first works of lyrical interpretation can be successfully performed. In this paper, the author, combined with experience, presents the idea of proper use of different methods of touch keys, handling the subtle changes in tone as well as the rational use of pedals and so on.
