| Prerequisites | Not applicable |
| Objectives | I am familiar with the most important musical historical phenomena, composers and stylistic features of the Classical era. I recognize key musical phenomena of the classical style from musical compositions both by ear and via score-reading. I can analyze the most important musical forms of the era and their melodic, harmonic and rhythmic structures. Course goals regarding ear training: I can perceive melody, harmony, rhythm, form and timbre in music throughout various musical styles. I can notate rhythmic, melodic and harmonic content and to reproduce notated music through my voice and body. I am also able to sing music while sight-reading and to add note names to a given melody in different keys. I perceive harmony and melody with the names of the notes and the scale degrees, alongside chord symbols and the roles of the melody notes regarding the key and the chord they’re on. I can also write down multipart harmonies with the assistance of the basic principles of voice leading. |
