Curricular Unit: Musical Analysis III
Code: LCM007
ECTS: 2
Cientific area: Musical Sciences
Learning Outcomes
The aim of this curricular unit is to make students consolidate and complete their understanding of the fundamental principles of tonal language and how tonal harmony changed during Romanticism. The necessary knowledge to analyze the fugue in the style of J. S. Bach and an understanding of the basic principles of counterpoint will also be acquired. Develop the analysis of orchestral scores.
Syllabus
> Further study of the use of chromatic elements in tonal harmony;
> Study of the various types of modulations;
> The fugue technique: real and tonal answer; exposition structure; episodes and recapitulation; Stretto and double fugue;
> Four voices writing rules (continued);
> Musical forms (continued): the rondó-sonata, innovative aspects of the sonata form in Beethoven and the “dialogue” between the soloist and the orchestra in the Concerto.
Teaching Methodologies
The curricular unit consists of fourteen one and a half hour-long sessions. A list of repertory will be previously sent to students. Students, in each session, analyze one or two works (or parts of works): only one work when they advance in the theoretical learning of the syllabus, two works when they practice the application of these principles in the analysis of the scores.
