Already announced in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik in December 1843, from the very beginning and since the founding of the "Conservatory of Music" in 1843, there has been the main effort to help familiarise the students with all of the subjects that are important and irremissible for a well-educated musician. Ever since, the connection of artistic and practical training with academic subjects has been of special significance to the University of Music and Theatre "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Leipzig.
Specialisations of the department include performance theory and interpretation research, connections between music and media (from music publishing up to film music) as well as the history and current methods of music theory. These subject areas are underpinned by basic education in music history which is combined to the methodology of cultural studies, especially in the master's programme.
