    The Romantic period in music spanned from 1820-1910. It was characterized by an emphasis on emotion, imagination, individualism and freedom of expression. Composers began incorporating themes of nationalism in their music and exploring new instrumental combinations. Ludwig van Beethoven helped bridge the classical and romantic eras by expressing passion through his compositions. This inspired other composers to also use music as a way to convey personal feelings and individual styles. Common genres that emerged during this time included character pieces, fantasies, rhapsodies and ballades. Famous romantic composers included Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann, Hector Berlioz, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

    MUSIC OF THE ROMANTIC PERIOD
    1820-1910
    • Romantic Period is described as a cultural
    movement that stressed emotion, imagination,
    individualism and freedom of expression. These
    characteristics are evident in music, art and
    literature of the era.
    • Nationalism was also incorporated in the music of the
    Romantic period. An example of a composition that
    shows nationalism is the Polonaise of Frederic Chopin,
    which is a dance composition for piano and is famous
    in Poland until today.
    • Ludwig Van Beethoven bridged the music from
    Classical to Romantic era by expressing his passion and
    emotions through his music. Other composers were
    inspired by this musical style that they started to use
    music as a means of expressing their emotions and
    individuality. This change in musical form also paved
    the way for expanding the orchestra as the composers
    explored various instrumentations.
    • Piano music of the Romantic period is in free
    form such as fantasy, rhapsody, ballade and
    nocturne. Program music was expressed in tone
    poems such as Symphony Fantastique.
