Title THEOR/PRAC TONAL MUS II Department MUSIC Course Number 2010 Spring 114 Section Number 01L Primary Instructor Kelley,Anthony M Prerequisites Prerequisite: Music 65.
Synopsis of course content
This course examines in detail many technical features of tonal music from
the 18th and early 19th centuries. As the second section of Duke's three-
part theory sequence, the course aims to familiarize students with more
advanced harmonic and compositional techniques. More importantly, the
course frames these phenomena as part of broader formal designs. We will
develop analytical skills through close examination of scores, and engage
more deeply with selected topics through composition and written analysis
projects. The lab is an essential component of the class, focusing on aural
and keyboard skills.
