| Unit Description |
This unit introduces students to the history of aesthetics and analytical techniques for European music from the years around the French Revolution right up to the onset of the First World War. Students will gain knowledge of the role art theory (aesthetics) in music and its context within contemporary intellectual culture. Knowledge and practice of techniques (both aural and written) for analysing music from this period will be gained. There will be an emphasis on new schools of music criticism in the last twenty years in relation to this period of music, including cultural criticism, gender studies and music aesthetics. This unit develops an advanced level of knowledge and critical thinking about music in this period within the scope of undergraduate studies. |
