AMU 213 - Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven

Course Units: 1.0

Vienna was the center of European art music from the late eighteenth century through the early nineteenth century. This course examines music by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and underrepresented composers such as Joseph Bologne. A thread throughout the course is a discussion about class struggles as seen through the lives of the composers, as well as through a close examination of the classic opera The Marriage of Figaro. Students come to an understanding of Vienna at one of the city’s greatest musical heights. CQ: JCAD, JCHF, JLIT, WAC
