MUS 43 From Beethoven to Now (Modern Classical Music)

This course introduces the composers and repertoires of Western classical music since 1800. Our study spans the monumentalities of Romanticism, the upheavals of Modernism, and the innovations, digital technologies, and multiplicities of today. Examining numerous instrumental and vocal works, we will consider how compositional, societal, and economic change has destabilized the very definability of classical music, leading to its vibrant and variegated present.
