Drawing on the work of composers such as Schubert, Berlioz, Schumann, Brahms, Wagner, Verdi, Debussy, Schoenberg, Ives, Bartók, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Stockhausen, Cage, Ligeti, Glass, and Adams, the course will trace the interplay of innovation, tradition, and reinvention in the classical concert music repertory that remains most influential in our own timePrerequisite: Music 20, or permission of the instructor.
