- Synopsis
- This course can permanently enrich your life in a way that few other experiences can rival: with Professor Robert Greenberg as your teacher, you will suddenly be able to hear and understand an entire language of unmatched beauty, genius, and power. We make strong claims for this course. When you are finished, so will you. Professor Greenberg will provide you with an outstanding grasp of musical forms, techniques, and terms-the "grammatical" elements that make you fluent in the "language" of music. And he will teach about the powerful influence of social context on musical creation. Best-selling author James Collins, writing in Inc. magazine, explains: "The Greenberg series combines a history of western civilization with a history of great music from ancient Greece to the 20th century. Greenberg's 48 lectures come alive with passion and knowledge. The course illustrates the interplay between societal change and innovation, and offers a unique perspective on the acceleration of change wrought by the 20th century. " Using digitally recorded musical passages to illustrate his points, the dynamic Professor Greenberg will take you inside magnificent compositions by Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Verdi, Wagner, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, and more.
