Nationalism and Expressionism in the Late 19th Century-Antonín Dvorák and Richard Strauss
Featured Works:
Antonín Dvorák-Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95 "New World" (1893) Richard Strauss-Death and Transfiguration (1889)

Here Professor Greenberg focuses on Dvorák's structural use of conflicting keys to reflect conflicting themes, and on Strauss's tone poem as an example of a "through-composed piece," in which the motives and themes grow out of material that has preceded them.

These lectures give you the tools of vocabulary and the structural fundamentals most of us, no matter how much we love music, have never acquired-even if you've taken "music appreciation" or learned to play an instrument at a basic level.
