Course description
The course is intended for Composition and Conducting students.
It starts from the study of the crisis in the tonal and harmonic field in the turn from the XIX to XXth Century, exemplified by the propositions of different important composers (Scriabin, Debussy, Stravinsky, etc.) The course will survey, analyze and practice with specially deviced small compositional exercises, the evolution of Harmonic Theories till our days (including Serialism, Xenakis, Ligeti, Spectralism, etc.). The concept of Harmony is thus amplified to include every general theorization of musical elements, based on a coherent esthetical proposition.
