This week’s prompt is challenging, and as you’re responding, I want you to think about two things to help frame your response – the idea of “listening techniques” and how they are (hopefully!) developing through our study, and the related concepts of style, structure, and symmetry. Good luck, and I can’t wait to read what you have to say! Read the following question and write a personalized response, using appropriate musical terminology from the readings associated with Module 4. Your response should have a minimum of 300 words and should be your original work, not the work or discussion published in another source. Then read and reply to two (2) of your classmates’ posts, offering your insight into the works discussed.
Design, form, and order were notable characteristics of music during the Classical era. Do you find that you are better able to understand form in music than when you began this course? What listening techniques have you developed that enhance your awareness of the form of a piece?
