Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

CONTENTS: The composer, painter and writer John Cage (1912-1992) was friends with the composer Morton Feldman (1926-1987) for decades.

This development is examined in the context of general developments in music history after 1900. Reception-historical findings are also discussed.

DELIVERY: eLearning supported lecture with musical examples and constant opportunity for discussion.
