Since its beginnings 200 years ago, Romanticism has used aesthetic experience as a way to critique and to try to surpass the limitations of modern society. This course focuses on how music has been understood to offer a way out of the problems of society. Short stories, music criticism, song texts, aesthetic theories and musical works, primarily from 19th century Germany and Austria, will shed light on music's romantic role. The persistence of romanticism in a debased form in popular culture wil l also be examined.
