This six-week course will examine how the changes in music developed from the late 19th century into the 20th century. We will look at the influence of composers such as Debussy, Strauss, Mahler and Brahms, and the music developed by composers, including Schoenberg, Britten and Shostakovich.
Lectures will include plenty of music clips as well as piano demonstrations. No technical music knowledge is required.
