Nineteenth century
music is often referred to as ‘romantic’ - a rich and many-layered
description.
This session will focus on a selection of major topics in the history
of instrumental music in the nineteenth century. Emphasis will be on the
interrelatedness of romantic music with literature, painting, and the
social conditions that supported the arts of the time.
Participants will listen to recordings by Berlioz, Chopin, Mendelssohn
and Tchaikovsky and undertake guided discussions concerning their own
experiences when they listen to the music.
