    Prerequisites: Music majors (performance) with junior status and successful completion of MUS 452 The academic study of music has focused traditionally on works, e.g., the Goldberg Variations, Jupiter Symphony, Der Rosenkavalier, and the composers who created them (Bach, Mozart, and Richard Strauss, respectively). In this seminar, the Capstone Writing Intensive requirement for students majoring in music performance, the primary texts will be specific performances approached from the perspective of performance studies: Glenn Gould playing the Goldberg Variations, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the Vienna Philharmonic's interpretation of the Jupiter, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf as the Marschallin in Rosenkavalier. Through performative texts supported by secondary readings, students will explore inter-related concepts in performance studies, including interpretation, authenticity, crossing over, technology, gender, sexuality, and race. In order to deepen skills in critical thinking about music as a phenomenon of performance, students will take an active role in class discussions and draft and revise a series of writing assignments, culminating in a substantial analysis of a musical performance that draws and expands on the perspectives gained throughout the semester. Capstone-level writing-intensive course.
