The corpus of musical-theoretical literature from the 19th century is massive; the most current developments, such as treatises by William Caplin, Warren Darcy, James Hepokoski, as well as emerging theory of chord geometry, suggests the necessity of revisiting concepts of classical harmony and form to place Beethoven’s music in the context of 21st century music theory. The subtopics offered for the discussion are the aesthetics of classicism, the postulates of normative aesthetics, classical compositional techniques, tonal function, nostalgia for early periods, the concept of the classical symphony, and more.
