This course is obligatory for second year students towards their master's degree (track without thesis). The aim of the course is to understand more deeply the works that are to be performed at the final recitals and to prepare the students towards the oral examination at the end of the year.

 The course will deal with an analytic study of the pieces and movements included in their repertory this year. General issues of historical background, style and genre will serve as a starting point to the analytic discussion, which will focus on form, rhythm, harmony, melody, motivic design, tonality, atonality and other relevant aspects of the selected pieces.
