MUS 360 - Classical Style and Beethoven (3 Cr.)


A seminar focused on the research tools required of a music historian (musicologist), such as those encountered in biographical research, studies of stylistic developments, work with primary sources (both text and music), and studies that place musical practice in its historical and societal contexts. The seminar focuses on the life and works of Beethoven (1770-1827) as a catalyst to study the transformation of the Classical style of the late eighteenth-century into the Romantic style of the early nineteenth-century. The course ends with an integrated, capstone project, which will combine historical research skills with a subject relevant to each student’s concentration in the music major. Prerequisites: MUS 115  and MUS 117 , or permission of the instructor. Spring semester. Offered 2016-17 and alternate years. Greenwood.
