Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

Musical activity in Europe during the 18th century is the subject of this course, which brings the high baroque, gallant, and classical eras into a single narrative. Patronage, publishing, star performers, and highly specific musical publics were central to music-making across the century. How these forces shaped the professional and creative lives of the major 18th-century instrumental and vocal music is surveyed, including works by Corelli, F. Couperin, Vivaldi, Rameau, Telemann, Handel, Hasse, Haydn, Mozart, D. Scarlatti, and several members of the Bach family. Extensive listening assignments and score analysis are supplemented by readings drawn from recent scholarship and examination of 18th-century music publishing and other period sources in facsimile. Prerequisite: Music 3012 or permission of instructor.
