An extended, detailed analysis of a single piece.

Analytical methodology should be determined in response to the issues raised by the piece. The student will prepare a lecture for a graduate-level audience, to be delivered in Music 5022. The purpose of the presentation is to demonstrate competence in intensive analysis and in the oral presentation of analytical materials.
