A study of music of the classical period, focusing on the music of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert. No musical background is necessary, but students must have access to a CD player. After establishing a basic musical vocabulary, students will explore the lives of the composers, with emphasis on the social, political, and historical importance of the era and of Vienna as a musical center. We will then discuss the different forms of music, symphony, sonata, chamber music, and opera, and explore some of the greatest works of each of these composers, and why these works appeal to audiences hundreds of years after their composition. A required field trip to attend a concert is also included in this course.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
