  Encyclopedia: Romantic music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The era of Romantic music is defined as the period of European classical music that runs roughly from the early 1800s to the first decade of the 20th century, as well as music written according to the norms and styles of that period.
Romantic music is related to Romantic movements in literature, art, and philosophy, though the conventional periods used in musicology are now very different from their counterparts in the other arts, which define "romantic" as running from the 1780s to the 1840s.
Thus, a fertilization of music by poetry, fiction, philosophy and painting took place, and with it was associated a further fertilization by the spirit of nationalism.

The earliest known music of Hawaii was the hula[?], which featured a chant (mele) accompanied by ipu[?] (a gourd) and 'ili'ili[?] (stones used as clappers).

I am more and more convinced that music is not, in essence, a thing which can be cast into a traditional and fixed form.
Debussy's music is often associated with the contemporary impressionist movement in painting, and his approach shares some characteristics of this style.
Debussy's interest in the exquisite and sensual also led him to an appreciation of the music of other cultures, and his use of various scales beyond the traditional major and minor ones shows the influence of Oriental and Russian music.

Reared in poverty among unlettered white and fl musicians who expressed their deepest emotions in music, he learned to perform and compose from his heart and soul.

How he and his music could sustain this response for over a half a century is a human as well as a musical enigma.

 Alban Berg
He wrote songs as a youth but had no serious musical education before his lessons with Schönberg, which began in 1904.
This was Berg's first orchestral score, and though it shows an awareness of Schönberg, Mahler and Debussy, it is brilliantly conceived and points towards Wozzeck - and towards 12-note serialism, notably in its final passacaglia.
Dramatically and musically the opera is a huge palindrome, showing Lulu's rise through society in her successive relationships and then her descent into prostitution and eventual death at the hands of Jack the Ripper.

 Claude Debussy
But then, as in the orchestral pieces, Debussy began to associate his music with visual impressions of the East, Spain, landscapes etc, in a sequence of sets of short pieces.
His last volume of Etudes (1915) interprets similar varieties of style and texture purely as pianistic exercises and includes pieces that develop irregular form to an extreme as well as others influenced by the young Stravinsky (a presence too in the suite En blanc et noir for two pianos, 1915).
The rarefaction of these works is a feature of the last set of songs, the Trois poèmes de Mallarmé (1913), and of the Sonata for flute, viola and harp (1915), though the sonata and its companions also recapture the inquisitive Verlainian classicism.
