Course Units: 1.0

The nineteenth century witnessed the development of countless individual musical styles, as opposed to the more homogeneous sounds of previous generations. Through listening exercises, studies of texts and music, and historical documents, students learn to distinguish characteristics of music written by composers such as Chopin, Schubert, Clara and Robert Schumann, Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn, Bizet, Verdi, Wagner, Brahms, Ethel Smythe, Amy Beach, Coleridge-Taylor, Gottschalk, and others.
