MU2002: MUSIC FROM 1700 TO 1900 (2014-2015)

Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

This course combines the study of three periods of music history, the late Baroque 1700-50; the classical 1750-1810 and the Romantic 1810-1900. Students study the main developments in cultural history in three periods – the  Rococo, the Classical Era and Romanticism. The course delivery is by means of lectures and class seminars where in the latter, students have an opportunity to study aspects of musical history in greater detail and in an informal setting.
