Course Description:

'' Revolutions in politics, society, and art shaped a turbulent 18th century. Our class begins with the revolutions in music and musical taste that erupted in the 1720s and ’30s, decades before the death of Baroque’s master composer, J.S. Bach. This intriguing overlap of styles â€?their dialogue and exchange as well as their uneasy, often antagonistic coexistence â€?will be considered. As we move through the mid-century, we will meet the composers who forged the foundations of the new style â€?foundations that ultimately supported the familiar masterpieces of the late 18th century. Over the duration of the course, you will discover many composers whose works include unjustly neglected gems: the Bach sons, the Mannheim composers, Clementi, Dittersdorf, Salieri, and others. Of course, we will not neglect the legacy of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Topics will include the emergence of new genres (the symphony, string quartet, and opera buffa); opera reform; the impact of the fortepiano; the Classical sonata and concerto; and the Mass and oratorio as concert music. (The ability to read music is not a requirement for this course, but scores will be available during class for score readers. Although not a prerequisite, this course is a continuation of “Baroque Music.â€? ...''
