  • On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan (and a very special guest) discuss Haydn's The Creation before introducing Dr. Hyperion Knight.

    In “The History of Classical Music,” concert pianist and Hillsdale College Distinguished Fellow Hyperion Knight explains how music has developed and what distinguishes the greatest musical achievements through the life of Beethoven. Join this course, whether you are a music novice or an aficionado of the classical style, to learn what makes music great.

    The Classical Period synthesized opposing Rococo elements into a classic style and explored the capabilities of each instrument by giving each a crucial role in compositions. Significant pieces discussed include Haydn’s “Farewell Symphony” and The Creation, and Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, The Magic Flute, Requiem, and piano concertos.
