Description

The lecture focuses on the development of music history from the first beginnings of surviving polyphonic music to the end of the 17th century. Specifics of the respective current genres are presented and/or developed by analyzing selected compositions, whereby (music) theoretical writings play an appropriate role as a primary source of contemporary reflection. At the same time, it will be possible to clarify why certain compositional techniques and forms became established nationally as trendsetting, while others were increasingly regarded as obsolete.
