RATIONALE:

Musicians need detailed information about key repertoire areas as part
of  their  professional  equipment.   Since  approximately  1700,  the
Concerto  for soloist(s) and orchestra has been an important genre  in
Western Concert music.  Concertos are an important part of an advanced
instrumental  performer's  repertory.   It  is  thus  essential   that
musicians  have an overall grasp of the development of  the  concerto,
and  specific  knowledge of significant works within the  genre.   The
Classical  concerto was one of the most highly developed  variants  of
sonata  form.  This study will also enhance the student's  ability  to
analyse large-scale works.

SYNOPSIS:

This  course traces the development of the concerto from 1700  to  the
present.  In addition to surveying the major trends within the  formal
construction  of  concertos,  the course  will  include  specific  and
detailed studies of specific masterworks within the genre.

OBJECTIVES:

On successful completion of this course students will:

1. have an understanding of the development of the concerto from
   1700 to the present;
   
2. be able to identify key works within the genre;
   
3. be able to analyse specific concertos within the tradition;
   
4. have the tools available to write effective program notes and
   perceptive musical criticism.
