Mozart and the Enlightenment (MUS 144)
Of all great composers, Mozart is the one most persistently linked to the divine. His premature death at age thirty-six, and his unique ability to maintain equilibrium between pathos and playfulness, simplicity and sophistication, bear much responsibility for this association. Mozart, however, was also a historical figure immersed in the dominant cultural force of his age, the Enlightenment, and its ideals of universal emancipation, progress, and prosperity. This course will bring together music and history by exploring the life and works of the great Austrian composer. Using texts, images, and music excerpts, we will cover the thirty years that saw a child prodigy from Salzburg becoming Europe's most inventive composer, as he relocated geographically, socially, and artistically during the most exciting period in European history.
Please note the updated course schedule:
This course now meets for 5 Thursdays, April 10 - May 8, 7:00 - 8:50 pm. The tuition is now $200.
