All valuable works of musical literature that were not possible to get to know during studies, either because of too much complexity, or because they belong to periods and trends that are not covered in previous (other) courses. When processing the composition, its macro analysis is carried out and important moments are analyzed in more detail. A musicological analysis of the circumstances of the creation of the work is also necessary, with the application of knowledge from general history and the history of art, sociology and aesthetics of music.
