Music Appreciation: First And Last Thoughts

We will listen to the first and last compositions of a variety of composers from the last four hundred years, with one composer considered each week.   Some composers appear to have found a characteristic style early on and retain this through their lives.  Others took a long time to find their voice and it is hard to recognize their early work, heavily influenced by others as being by them.  Some composers go through a variety of styles and it is interesting to explore this too.  This course has now been given several times; the composers selected in 2022 will mainly not be those selected in earlier courses although we may revisit a few who were particularly prolific in their early or later years.

This class will be taught via Zoom, Peter will contact you with the link nearer to the start date.
