Why is every performance different, when the score remains the same? This course will provide insight into the decision-making process of an interpreter and the factors involved and offers an overview of some of the great and frequently notorious conductors of the historical and modern eras. Especially useful for those who collect recordings or attend concerts, this course will educate participants in perceiving the essential characteristics that distinguish different interpreters of symphonic and operatic repertory. Musical literacy is not required.
