Learning outcomes

The course aims at providing the students with an introduction to the history of music and, more generally, to musicology, presenting some of the various aspects in which these disciplines are articulated. The course offers a historical, cultural and social reading of musical structures chosen among the great masterpieces. Direct audiences with related comments contribute greatly to making the approach to musical language more concrete and in-depth. At the end of the course the student will have acquired a certain capacity of orientation both in reading the texts of music historiography and in the mode of listening to music.

1. First approach to Musicology and in particular to History of Music

6. Listening and investigating of significative passages of "Rigoletto" and "Travata" (a detailed list of listenings will be provided at the end of the course)
