| Start Date: 01/23/2023 End Date: 05/08/2023 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2023 |
| Description: The second in a four-semester survey of European and Eurocentric classical music, covering the period from 1700 to 1850 and changes in how composers interacted with performers, audiences, critics, institutions, and society at large. We trace these changes through a fast-paced survey of representative works, including music by women composers, composers of color, and LGBTQ+ composers. We build skills in score reading, understanding musical forms and genres, interpreting primary sources, and writing music history. Course theme: Music and the Public. How did the rise of music publishing, public venues, criticism, conservatories, etc. affect the ways musicians navigated the marketplace? |
