Franz Schubert may well be the single most written-about composer in academic music theory of the last decade. This seminar focusses on the vocal, orchestral, chamber, and piano music Schubert composed from 1824 to 1828. Taking the recent literature as a starting point, students will develop analytical interpretations of several key works as well as use Schubert’s late music as a vehicle to survey and assess recent developments in music theory, including the new Formenlehre, neo-Riemannian theory, theories of rhythm and meter, perspectives on music-text relations, historical music theory, and theories of hermeneutics, narrativity, and agency in music
