June 11, 201213 yr I'm specifically thinking about something along the lines of a lecturer taking a particular piece - say a sonata - and saying, "here's the exposition, here's the first theme, here's the transition, note how the composer builds the theme off the motif like so (maybe with a projection of the sheet music). Now here's the development, note how the composer mutates the original theme..." etc. But anything that's an in depth analysis (any classical style) of music would interest me. BTW -I have heard all of Bernstein's "Young People's" concerts, and while they are great I'm thinking of something a little more in depth (and with less footage of children wriggling in their seats.) Thanks in advance.
June 11, 201213 yr there is on youtube a class where john corliano tells about his clarinet concerto there is a music prof talking his way through Bachs WTC book 1 (composers tool tik or something) I you're an apple user, there are lectures in the applestore as well. A class discussing some of prokofievs visions fugitives. Even someone giving a comparison of heavy metal and bruckner.

June 12, 201213 yr I know on the show keeping score they go into depth of form with the pieces they cover, though they do add more stuff like history and composer facts as well: http://www.pbs.org/keepingscore/episodes.html I also know the Boston Symphony Podcast goes into depth on form for pieces on their upcoming concerts: http://www.youtube.com/user/BostonSymphony
