Muzička Akademija Sveučilišta u Zagrebu / University of Zagreb Academy of Music
The aim of this course is theoretical determination and practical examination of relationships between different historical and contemporary approaches to music analysis, observation of the repercussions of analytical procedures for speculative and performative interpretation of music and raising awareness of the role of music analysis in musicological work. The lectures, practical written and oral analytical exercises with presentations, critical readings of analytical texts and exercises in analytical listening should provide the students with necessary tools for independent theoretical and practical activity in the field.
The course is mandatory for students of musicology; music theory students can enroll the course as an elective subject

Be a part of our european project !

This European project (KA 203 Strategic Partnership) created by Salvatore Gioveni promotes cross-border collaboration in the field of Music Theory through sharing knowledge and transferring pedagogical innovation. It thus responds to a lack of centralised source and framework to deepen reflection by means of cross-disciplinary study at European and international level.

There is a significant wealth of educational practices from one country to another in this sector, especially in terms of harmonic musical notation and analysis. However, HMEI's are facing the nonexistence of a European network for pedagogical staff in Music Theory so far. To improve the situation, the project will among other things develop several intellectual outputs such as Online Platform (IO 1), an EU Bibliography (IO 2), a Repository Courses (IO 3), a Multilingual Glossary (IO 4) and an Exchange Online Learning Platform.

Besides the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles as leader and manager of the project, the following partner institutions are involved: Music Academy S. Moniuszki Gdańsk (Gdańsk, Poland), F. Liszt Academy of Music Budapest (Budapest, Hungary), Estonian Academy for Music and Theatre (Tallinn, Estonia), HfMTh "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" (Leipzig, Germany).
