DESCRIPTION

One of the most familiar instruments in Western music, the piano has undergone remarkable changes over the past three centuries. In this four-session course, Dr. Brenda Leonard will explore how the piano evolved from its early keyboard ancestors into a centerpiece of home life, a powerful concert instrument, and eventually a source of bold new sounds in the 20th century. Through music by composers ranging from Mozart to Chopin to John Cage, we'll consider how evolving technology shaped the piano's sound, its repertoire, and its cultural meaning.
