The course will cover presentation and discussion of fundamental music theory concepts associated with harmonic practice of 18th- and 19th-century art music. Written work will include four-part composition and analysis of forms such as binary, ternary, rondo, and sonata. There will be an ear training component that will consist of melodic, harmonic and rhythmic dictation. The course is designed to provide a comprehensive review of music theory principles as well as an opportunity to explore more complex harmonies and forms.
