MUS00033C
Course Description:
The aim of this module is the study of the repertoire of the string quartet. Whilst some key works from the classical period (Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven) will be the starting point, the focus of the project will be the 20th-century repertoire and particular works by composers such as Bartok and Berg, Debussy and Ravel, Shostakovich and Janacek, Ligeti and Kurtag, among others. Coursework will consist of four exercises concerning the melodic, harmonic, contrapuntal and timbral aspects of string quartet writing, all of which will be workshopped in class. The project is structured around seminars, workshops and tutorials, and it offers the opportunity to explore composing for the medium.
