Through readings in the recent music-theoretical literature, listening and score study, this seminar explores advanced analytical methodologies for tonal music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Especially featured are linear-harmonic, functional, and transformational approaches focused on aspects of pitch organization, including its interaction with other musical parameters, such as rhythm, thematic development, and form. Students will build fluency in analytical methods, develop skills to combine them productively, and gain experience writing persuasive analytical prose. Consideration of genre and historical style, and how they can contextualize analytical findings, will be another central outcome.
