Theory and Analysis
MUSC 202
Fall 2025
| Section:
01
|
Grounded in the European art music tradition, this course offers a global approach to the study of harmony and form. Through analysis, critical listening, and composition we will explore how musical structures shape expression across time and place. While focusing on Classical and Romantic repertoire, we'll also consider how diverse musical systems around the world engage with similar -- or radically different -- ideas of form and tonality. |
