MUS-425 Musical Form and Analysis
A study of the most significant formal approaches
in music from the common practice period. This
course builds on the analytical tools from
earlier courses, applying them with the goal of
internalizing formal expectations in binary,
ternary, rondo, and sonata forms, and learning to
recognize and articulate deformations of these
forms. Students will study musical works, read
analyses by modern and contemporaneous theorists,
and develop analytical writing skills. Students
will also explore how analysis may inform musical
performance. Prerequisite: MUS-202 must be completed prior to registering for this course.
