A pre-seminar to the study of music from a cultural and comparative perspective.
This 3-credit seminar explores Beethoven from the perspective of historical and theoretical analyses, performance practice, interpretation and reception of his works as well as the image of Beethoven European culture. With a primary focus on Beethoven, we will also use the discussion of him and his works as a staring point to explore the cultural climate in Europe between late 18th- and early 20th centuries.
