How can we best understand the creative process in music and its implications for performance? This course will explore how major composers from Mozart to the present day actually created their works. The approach involves examining manuscripts and sketches, compositional models and revisions, and considering the relation of freedom and determination in artistic creativity. The pieces to be considered include selected piano works by Mozart, Beethoven?s Ninth Symphony, and compositions by Schumann, Wagner, and Mahler as well as more recent works by recent and living composers. Seminar members will develop a major research project of their choice.
