	Category:Romantic composers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Romantic composers are those individuals who wrote music in the Romantic era, between about 1815 and 1910.
		This is not to be confused with the overlapping period of Romanticism in literature and the history of culture, which is dated from 1770 to 1850.
		Thus, not all "Romantic" composers are associated with "Romanticism", and some composers who are associated with some aspects of Romanticism the movement are unequivocally not thought of as "Romantic" composers.

		The romantics, on the other hand, often used German folk materials, such as medieval history and the fairy tales collected by the Grimm brothers.
		Other composers such as the prolific Anton Bruckner and Gustav Mahler—a genius of romantic expression in his song cycles—continued the Vienna tradition in a serious vein.
		Composer Kurt Weill collaborated with writer Bertolt Brecht on two of the great works of the German popular stage, The Three-Penny Opera (1928; translated 1933) and Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (1930; translated 1956).

	Romanticism
		French Romantic painting is full of themes relating to the tumultuous political events of the period and later Romantic music often draws its inspiration from national folk musics.
		It was the romantics who first celebrated romantic love as the natural birthright of every human being, the most exalted of human sentiments, and the necessary foundation of a successful marriage.
		Romantic exoticism is not always in tension with Romantic nationalism, for often the latter focussed on obscure folk traditions which were in themselves exotic to the audiences newly exposed to them.

	Classical to Romantic period music: composers biography
		Vivaldi, Liszt, Debussy, and Strauss were composers who would lead the way to a more individualistic assertion of imaginative music that would break the molds of composers before them and usher in an intensely personal and sensitive form of musical expression.
		Vivaldi begins the Classical Period and is sometimes even thought of as composing during a transitional time on the heels of the Baroque Period as it led into the Classical.
		Claude Debussy, born in 1862, was the most contemporary of the four composers, his life spanning the turn of the century.

	Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Romanticism
		Although there are many more similarities than differences between Classical and Romantic harmony, Romantic composers greatly expanded the harmonic vocabulary of music, using chords, and, especially, sequences of chords unheard of in the Classical era.
		But Classical composers generally expressed themselves eloquently within the bounds of established forms and procedures, while in their search for complete freedom of subjective expression Romantic composers accepted fewer constraints.
		Among the musical forms developed in the nineteenth century as direct offspring of Romantic ideals and principles are the character piece for piano, the symphonic poem, and the song cycle.

	SquareSound Forums - Split from 'Masashi Hamauzu': The nature of theory, tonality, and musical history
		Your list of great romantic composers shows that the capabilities of Western classical harmony are exciting and far-reaching, yet it is my belief that they reached their peak about a hundred years ago, for no further development has occurred in them since then.
		It is no coincidence, however, that all great composers throughout history have been, for the most part, independents; we hear about those who wrote or pioneered a style for personal significance, not those who chiseled their music around or reactionarily against pre-set guidelines.
		And composers that had a great sense of musicality but were not versed enough in the technical side of their craft to be original will also be forgotten.

		Most march composers come from the United States and Europe, and have some sort of musical backround to them.
		The most popular march composers existed in the late 1800's and early 1900's, mainly because modern march dedicators are hard to come by.
		Not all composers fit neatly into one and only one category: some, such as Monteverdi, wrote in the style of more than one era.

		But the richness of the composer's inventiveness and the genuine innovations he made in piano playing and in establishing the independent piano piece as a legitimate solo genre for concert performance have largely and undeservedly been overshadowed by the accomplishments of those who followed him.
		A musical harbinger of the Romantic Epoch, John Field was the first important composer in a line of early Romantic pianists that began with him and ended with Frédéric Chopin.
		As a leading piano performer and composer, Field was obligated to produce his large-scale Concertos, the accepted medium of the time for the virtuoso.

	Romantic Composers - Johannes Brahms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Unlike his contemporaries Berlioz, List, and Wagner, Brahms was not an innovator of new styles but a preserver and traditionalist of the Classical style before.
		His first composition caught the eye of Robert Schumann, an earlier romantic composer, who wrote in his published journal an essay exclaiming Brahms, "was called forth to give us the highest ideal expression of our time." This began a friendship between the two composers that lasted until Schumann's death.
		In addition to his place as one of music's great composers, Brahms was one of history's first musicologists, as well as a respected archivist of early music manuscripts, and an acclaimed conductor.

		His appointment proved unfortunate, since it coincided with a postwar mood that relegated Strauss and similar late Romantic composers to the category of "old-fashioned." Strauss was neither interested nor skilled in politics, national or musical, and he resigned from his post in Vienna in 1924.
		These two media are personified by a poet and a composer who are rivals for the love of a widowed countess, who is herself given the last of Strauss's marvelously rewarding roles for the female voice.
		As a young composer, Strauss came under the influence of Wagner, Hector Berlioz, and Liszt just when his technique and imagination were sharpened to make the most of their impact.
