Concept of Late Style in Music

"Late style" is an expression regularly used in music history to distinguish the work of composers as they enter their last phase of composition?often, but not only, in old age. This course looks closely at the musical and biographical contexts in which late-age music was composed, and seeks both to question the assumptions surrounding late style, mortality, and cultural gerontology, and to prompt a more critical understanding of the late/last works of composers and musicians.
