Title	The Evolution of the Sonata
Professor	Kyle Gann
Schedule	Tu Th 3:00 pm -4:20 pm BLM 117

Sonata form is the most important collective achievement in European music, running from the early 18^th century on and still influencing the way much music is written today. It was considered such a natural phenomenon that it was discussed as having been "discovered," not merely invented by mere humans, yet in many ways it was an artificial formula that killed as much music as it enlivened. This analysis course will study sonata form in its glorious heyday, before it was officially labeled by A.B. Marx in 1828. We'll start with primitive binary forms of Kuhnau and Sammartini, proceeding through works of C.P.E. Bach, Haydn, Clementi, Mozart, Dussek, Beethoven, Hummel and Schubert. Along the way we'll learn techniques of musical logic that could still benefit composers today, as well as fleshing out a musical era that is too incompletely seen in terms of the Haydn-Mozart-Beethoven trio. This course is intended for musicians who have had Fundamentals I and II or the equivalent, but any interested and qualified student is welcome.

Title	Introductory Psychoacoustics
Professor	Robert Bielecki
Schedule	Mon 1:30 pm -4:00 pm BLM

A scientist at Bell Labs once said, "Reality is a myth, perception is what matters". This course is about perception and hearing. The first half of the semester begins with a description of the physiology and function of the ear and how we process auditory information. Some topics include: the threshold of hearing and it's measurement, perception of pitch, loudness and location, auditory illusions, critical bands and masking. Some of this material is of a technical nature and can be 'dry' for some students, thus we plan to enliven the presentation through the use of graphic illustrations, recorded examples, interactive demonstrations and experiments. There will also be a guest lecturer and a visit to a studio/lab. The second half of the semester will focus on sound localization and the technologies used in spatialization and 3-D audio. We will explore auditory localization cues, binaural recording, spatial audio synthesis, sound for virtual realities and immersive environments. This course should be of particular interest to anyone involved in music and audio technology. Enrollment is limited.
