Have you ever wondered what goes through a composer’s mind during those magical weeks and months when a musical composition—something meant to become a listening experience—is being notated on paper? Have you tried to imagine the creative process that boils inside geniuses like Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorák, Strauss, Brahms, Mendelssohn, or Liszt? Or in any composer?
   Is it pure inspiration?
Can a composer hear music before picking up the pen?
Or is it that the music actually begins on that blank sheet?
Is it possible for lay listeners such as ourselves, who are not trained in the technicalities and music to be taught to tune into the composer’s creative intentions?
Learn how to listen to great music
Can we learn to listen so that great music is even more enjoyable and insightful?
Dr. Robert Greenberg believes that the answer to this last question is “yes.”
Now, the winner of three Nicola De Lorenzo Prizes for composition, whose music courses cover several classical genres is among our most loved, has set out once more to prove his point.
He has created a course designed to give you a new level of sophistication as a music listener—using as his teaching tools some of the most memorable works in all of music.
Achieve a new level of listening sophistication
You will learn the skills necessary to understand and perceive all aspects of music structure, purpose, and narrative.
Although this course is quite demanding, and requires a deeper understanding musical structure than the average listener, it is not overwhelming.
Professor Greenberg puts each composition and its creator in the context of the time. So you can see the music in its correct societal and artistic context.

His vivid descriptions evoke dramatic images of:
Precocious young Mozart
Beethoven’s journey towards his goals “Heroic” Style as his inner tendencies were exaggerated during turbulent times
Brahms’s solid middle instilled a deep sense of caution.-His class background and the influence it had on his decisions about what to publish.
Professor Greenberg shares fascinating details about the musical world that each composer created in these lectures.
Learn Beethoven’s Advantage vs His Predecessors
For example, you might learn:
Beethoven had a tremendous advantage over his harpsichord because of how the piano evolved and how design innovations helped.-The predecessors who were trained
How the 19th-Century cult of individual artists as heroes led to the rise in virtuoso stars such as Niccolo Paganini, an Italian violin virtuoso who revolutionized violin playing and inspired Liszt into becoming a piano virtuoso like no other.
how the folk elements used by nationalist composers became part of the shared, common language of concert music, so Dvorák could feel perfectly comfortable using “American” His Symphony No. 9 The New World Symphony is examined in this course.
The course’s core is its outstanding structural analysis of eight of most important pieces of music ever created. Professor Greenberg has divided the composers and their works into four pairs that each clarify different aspects of music.
Part I: The Classical Piano Concerto:
Mozart—Piano Concerto no. 25 in C Major K. 503 (1786).
Beethoven—Piano Concerto no. 5 in E-flat Major, op. 73, The Emperor Concerto (1809).
The emphasis of these lectures is on the musical substance of the concerti themselves—their formal structure, thematic relationships, expressive content, and the role of the piano soloist.
Part II: Nationalism and Expressionism at the End of the 19th Century features
AntonÃn Dvorák—Symphony no. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95, The New World Symphony (19893)
Richard Strauss—Death and Transfiguration (1889).
Here Professor Greenberg focuses on Dvorák’s structural use of conflicting keys to reflect conflicting themes, and on Strauss’s tone poem as an example of a “through-composed piece,” In which themes and motives are created from material that precedes them.
Part III: The Great 19th-Century Violin Concerti features:
Beethoven—Violin Concerto in D Major, op. 61 (1806)
Brahms—Violin Concerto in D Major, op. 77 (1878).
In comparing these two works—the “backbone of the 19th-century violin concerto repertoire”—Professor Greenberg shows how the work of Beethoven, trained in the structures and techniques of 18th-Century Classicism and Brahms, 19th-Century Romantic, so clearly reflect the characteristics of each.
Part IV: Early Romantic-Features of Era Program Music:
Felix Mendelssohn—Incidental Music, op. 61 (1842), Overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream and 61 (1842), op. 21 (1826)
Franz Liszt—Totentanz (1849).
Professor Greenberg compares Mendelssohn’s brilliant and charming interpretation of Shakespeare’s comedy to Liszt’s virtuosic example in the Romantic Era’s fascination for the Gothic and the Macabre in the work he based on the14th-Century Black Death
Deep Structural Understanding
This approach to studying musical composition allows you to dig deeper into the structure of a piece than any other way.
Professor Greenberg likens it to the process of understanding great architecture. Although we can see their surface and be moved by their beauty in their beauty, our eyes won’t be able to comprehend their greatest glories if we don’t learn how to see them and understand them.
- They are constructed
- Their inventive blending technique and purpose was a clever move
- They are a force of philosophy.
