Should a given contemporary performance or recording be at all \u201cidentical\u201d or \u201cclose\u201d to the original performance, and if so in what ways? \u00a0In fact, in what ways may we speak of \u201cauthenticity\u201d in musical performance? What were the expectations of listeners at the time of first performances and should that have any bearing on performances today? How does the 21st-century performer deal with varying levels of prescriptive musical notations of the past and what is the relationship of notation to the interpretive role of the performing musician? \u00a0With the development of recorded technology and our extraordinary access to recorded music, how important are live performances today? Is there a difference, in fact, in hearing a work live or recorded, and if so what is it and how does it affect us? <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Class Schedule<\/b><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introduction to the course. \u00a0\u201cThe Notation is not the Music\u201d: \u00a0Discussion of the parameters of music that make it a work of art: \u00a0melody, harmony, rhythm, tempo, dynamics, tone color, texture, form, articulation, phrasing, and expression. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Week 1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0&#8211; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Background to the basic premise of the course: what is the nature of a work of musical art (in the Western European legacy) and in what ways do we respond to it in the 21st century?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Introduction to basic listening skills: the parameters of music; genres; historical styles. \u00a0[<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elements of Music<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">] \u00a0We will use six works to illustrate melody, harmony, rhythm, tempo, dynamics, tone color, and form: \u00a0Haydn\u2019s \u201cSurprise\u201d Symphony (slow movement); Beethoven\u2019s \u201cPathetique\u201d Sonata (third movement); Mozart\u2019s Clarinet Quintet (first movement); Schubert\u2019s song \u201cErlk\u00f6nig\u201d; \u00a0Debussy\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pr\u00e9lude \u00e0 l\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi d\u2019un faune<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; and Britten\u2019s \u201cYoung Person\u2019s Guide to the Orchestra\u201d.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance practices and historical traditions, from the Baroque period to the present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Music as Religion: read about and listen to Handel&#8217;s<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Messiah<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Week 2 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0&#8211; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Continue with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elements of Music<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance practices and historical traditions, from the Baroque period to the present day. \u00a0Use Handel\u2019s oratorio <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Messiah<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and his opera <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Julius Caesar<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPerforming Practice\u201d in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (2001); readings in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance Practice: Music After 1600<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ed.
