Course contents
Learning objectives:
This course, in the form of a seminar, maps the problems and specifics of music notation in the 20th and 21st centuries.
In the seminar, composition students will submit their own compositions for discussion, in which they solve certain notational dilemmas. The joint debate then leads to a search for the most appropriate notation method. Students are also guided on the specifics of publishing 20th century music, the form of proofreading more challenging scores, and the creation of a notated performance apparatus.
Thematic areas:
Students actively engage in debate and evaluate the chosen form of notation of specific types of music and musical sound effects across Czech and world music of the 20th and 21st centuries. Students also become familiar with different notations for identical sound-musical elements and discuss the reasons for and appropriateness of using particular types of notation.
The course can be taken in repeatedly.
