Semester Offered: Fall

A study of selected topics in the history of Western music.

Topic for 2017/18a: Classical Music at the Crossroads. This course examines two pivotal moments in the history of European music: the rise of the Classic style, as epitomized in the works of Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven; and the crisis of early modernism in the years preceding the First World War. Brian Mann.
