Learning outcomes

The aim of the lectures is to give the student an overview of the basic issues of the classical harmony. Homework to the particular chapters is controlled by tutor during the course together with student´s ability to deal with practical application of concrete harmonic principles.
Acquired knowledge: The student: - knows the given issues theoretically - they know the question of a functioning of chords, chord progressions, mistaken voice progressions; - is familiar with modulations, the issues of non-altered and altered chords. Acquired skills: The student is able to: - independently deal with harmonic assignments - numbered and loose basses, and - harmonise assigned sopranos in the extent of the lectured material. Acquired qualifications: The student is able to: - harmonically analyse diatonic and chromatic excerpts of music compositions of the Baroque, classicism, and Romanticism; - highlight harmonically uncommon passages of compositions that reach beyond the harmonic canon of their epoch.
