Aim of the course

The aim of the subject is the introduction in the part of music literature that had an influence on film music in the particular film genres and in national traditions. This perspective seem to be particularly important from the point of view of a broadly understood music education because of an immense popularity of film and film music among the society. This enables the creation of a valuable tool in the field of the educational activities: the access to the classical music through associations with film.
