‘Embracing Everything’: The Symphony

For over two centuries it has represented the epitome of a bold, public musical statement - yet the symphony has also proved to be a vehicle of intensely private expression for many composers. Exploring the relationship between artists and the orchestra, this course will trace the evolution of this unique form. Drawing upon a wealth of case studies, we will explore the work of the figures that have made it their own, from Beethoven and Brahms to Sibelius and Shostakovich.
