Class Description:: MUS 5573: Analysis of Late-Romantic Orchestral Literature Matt Bribitzer-Stull 10:10-12:05 M; 10:10-11:00 W 3 credits Prereq: 3502 or equivalent This course is an introduction to advanced tonal analysis. A corpus of Romantic music by Wagner, Strauss, and four Russian composers (Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Moussorgsky, and Rachmaninov) will serve as a focus for assignments and discussions. Topics including form, orchestration, extra-musical association, and harmony (augmented sixth chords, diminished seventh chords, augmented triads, common-tone chords, the Neapolitan, advanced mixture, chromatic sequences, altered dominants, and chromatic/enharmonic modulation) will comprise the semester's subject matter. Studying these topics will enable us to achieve an enhanced understanding of tonality's beautiful complexity and its relationship to extra-musical considerations.
