Courses
Course Title: Celebrated Russian composers of the 19th Century
Course Description: This ten-week course offered by a native Russian lecturer Marina Burrell will take you on a journey with celebrated Russian composers of the 19th Century who faced the challenge of linking European musical language with Russian tradition. Great music masterpieces will help you engage with the souls of your favourite composers and learn about less-known ones. You will find out how Tchaikovsky struggled with fate, how Rachmaninov’s ‘four weeping notes’ revealed Russianness, and how Glinka and the Mighty Five transformed the perception of Russian music in the world. You don't need to understand music theory. Just relax and enjoy!
