Topics in Music: Beethoven
Introductory Topics in Music History: Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was perhaps the most influential figure in the history of Western music. In this course we will explore Beethoven’s life and work in the context of political, social, and musical currents during and after his lifetime. Through intensive listening, reading, concert attendance, and discussion, we will develop critical listening skills, examine the relationship between an artist’s biography and creative work, and critique how and whether social and political events shape the development of music and vice versa. No previous musical experience is required. (Not open to students who have taken FYSE 1132)
