Course Content (Syllabus)
The course investigates the compositional techniques during the first half of the twentieth century. Taking the crisis of functional tonality as a starting point, we examine chromatic practices in tonal music—including exotic scales, non-triadic chords, etc—of the late nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. Then, the course proceeds to the examination of the development of the compositional techniques of the serial and non-serial atonality, ultimately leading to integral serialism.
