A number of composers from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century have written works that audiences and scholars alike refer to as “masterpieces”. This course will examine two contrasting masterworks: J. S. Bach’s “Mass in B Minor” and Beethoven’s “Symphony #5 in C minor”. Our discussion will involve trying to define the term “masterpiece”, and why these two works are often considered as such.
