MUSC210
- Seminar in Music History and Criticism
The Music History Seminar takes up specific topics and themes in music history that open onto larger cultural contexts and interdisciplinary lines of inquiry. The seminar is based on active discussion and student research with a depth and a focus not possible in a survey course, and will develop the student's critical skills, as well as the ability to write and talk about music in meaningful ways. Seminar topics change each year. Recent topics have included "Music and Culture in Vienna, 1870-1914," "Richard Wagner: Music, Drama, and Meanings," and "Beethoven, Schubert and the Transformation of Music, 1800-1830." The course welcomes music majors and minors, as well as interested students from other disciplines. The seminar may be taken more than once for credit. Fall 2009 Topic: Haydn: Approaches to his Music. The seminar will concentrate on Haydn's instrumental music. Our main focus will be exploring and studying Haydn's symphonies, chamber works, and sonatas through musical analysis and historical criticism. MUSC102 and/or MUSC104 are recommended, but not required.
