Course Description The student will acquire skills in the history of Western musical instruments from the Middle Ages to the contemporary age, hinting at classification, morphology, and practice in different historical contexts. In addition, the student will be aware of the acoustic principles underlying sound, with particular reference to the principles of formation and transmission. At the end of the course, the students will be able to independently navigate their way through individual musical instruments, knowing how to take advantage of the main research tools (catalogs, online repertories, general texts, and monographs). Content: We will examine the different families of instruments, starting from the principle of sound production and examining the historical development of the various types: reed instruments, flutes, trumpets and horns, percussion instruments, rubbed string instruments, percussed and plucked string instruments, electroacoustic-electromechanical and electronic instruments. We will also specifically address clavichord and harpsichord, piano, and pipe organ.
