This course follows the context of musical periods, explores representative orchestral works of each period, and conducts thematic research and discussion on important orchestral composers. This semester focuses on orchestral works before the 20th century.
1. Baroque period: Bach orchestral suites
2. Classical period: Research on the symphonies of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and explore the development of symphonies.
