Study Group Details

Having covered Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms in recent years, we now turn our attention to two great composers in the Germanic tradition who began work while Beethoven was still alive, struggled to deal with his impact on music, and who both died tragically in their thirties (like Mozart). Schubert is best know for his beautiful lieder and his magnificent symphonic output; Mendelssohn for his great symphonies, concertos, and ground-breaking oratorios. We will, as we have in the past, review important aspects of the composers' biographies and their relation to their musical output. This study group has a high class size capacity.
