This study presents a detailed analytical, performative, and pedagogical approach to the piano suite Children's Corner by Claude Debussy. The historical background of the period in which the composer created, as well as its impact on the musical world, his life, and his work, are explored. In addition to the historical and stylistic characteristics, a structural and instructive analysis of the compositions from the piano suite "Children's Corner" is conducted. Its music was inspired by the world of children and is intended for students of higher grades in primary school and beyond. The pieces in the collection depict children's games, fantasies, and the realm of imagination, while simultaneously being musically and technically challenging. The purpose of this master's thesis is to provide comprehensive pedagogical tools and practical guidelines for the effective study and performance preparation of pianists. The aim is to foster a deeper understanding, developement of technical skills, and providing practical solutions for all phases of the learning process.
