Instructor Don Anderson traces its development, from its virtual invention by Joseph Haydn, through the classical period masterpieces of Mozart and Beethoven, the expansive, romantic-era works of Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Dvo?ák, to visionary works of the last century by composers such as Schoenberg, Ravel, Bartók and Shostakovich. A live mini-recital by the Winnipeg Chamber Music Society concludes the course.
