Università Roma Tre

Historical route:
Supported by some framing lessons, the student will study independently the most significant movements and authors of the twentieth century. A short list of compositions to listen to will be provided.
Focus:
The course will deepen some paths in U.S. music in the second half of the 20th century, without neglecting some pioneering figures such as Charles Ives, Henry Cowell or Conlon Nancarrow.
