Music from Haydn and Mozart to Beethoven and Brahms forms a canon of works held dear by performers and concert-goers alike. While each of these composers has his own distinct style, structurally their music derives from a set of principles known as common-practice tonality (CPT). This course seeks to familiarize participants with the concepts and terminology central to CPT. It is designed to deepen your understanding of these principles and provide more meaningful listening. Through lectures, musical demonstrations, and weekly listening and reading assignments, esoteric terms and concepts will be demystified. Topics will include harmonic progressions, cadences, consonance and dissonance, chromaticism, meter and hypermeter, motivic development, sonata form, and much more.
