MUSIC 3313
Pianos, Nations, and Empires

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

Outside of its native West, how and why have people made the piano theirs? This course will investigate how the piano (and its associated Western musical systems) have functioned culturally and politically amidst various and shifting notions of modernity and national identity across the Global South. Included in this broad survey are 20th-century developments from sub-Saharan Africa, Southwest Asia and North Africa, South and East Asia, as well as excursions into the Americas.
