	Variations on a Theme \| Romanticism from the canvas to the printing press to the opera house
		Although there is no true division between Classic and Romantic styles in music, Romantic composers sought to highlight the individuality within their music and to differ in the elements of musical style-melody and periodicity, rhythm and expression, harmony and chords, tonality and color, counterpoint and structure.
		Romantic color was broadened through the clarinet, English and French horns, bass clarinet, the harp, the improved piano, and the expanded orchestra.
		It is evident that the greatest composers thrived in the Romantic Age and produced the most artistic and unique work through their novel use of color, tonality, counterpoint, structure, melody, rhythm, and harmony.

	The Music of the Romantic Era
		The Romantic era produced many more composers whose names and music are still familiar and popular today: Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Schubert, Chopin, Wagner, and Verdi are perhaps the most well-known, but there are plenty of others who may also be familiar, including Strauss, Schumann, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Puccini, and Mahler.
		Much of this nationalistic music was produced in the post-Romantic period, in the late nineteenth century; in fact, the composers best known for folk-inspired classical music in England (Holst and Vaughan Williams) and the U. (Ives, Copland, and Gershwin) were twentieth-century composers who composed in Romantic, post-Romantic, or Neoclassical styles instead of embracing Modernism.
		The form of the music was chosen to fit with the programme (the story or idea), and if it was necessary at some point to choose sticking more closely to the form or to the programme, the programme often won.

	Classical Periods - the development of classical music through the ages
		It is assumed that some music may have been improvisatory and that any technical aspects of music will have been passed via oral traditions, experienced musicians passing their skills by example to students.
		In the later centuries of this period, formal musical traditions were being incubated in the catholic monasteries of the time, and the church was to play a major role in the subsequent development of music.
		It was the development of a standard musical notation in the 11th century that allowed music to be documented in a physical form.

	~ The Ladies of Reenacting ~ Our Romantic Era Music Room ~
		In the Romantic period, the triadic system was exploited to the farthest consequences, chromatic alterations were used extensively (see below), unprepared and -towards the end of the century- unresolved appoggiatura chords were used.
		Romantic traits can be identified in the music of Monteverdi (Poppea), JS Bach (chromatic organ works, program music) or Handel (expressive arias).
		Another precedent for Romanticism is found in the musical connections with the literary movement known as Sturm und Drang (dramatic works of Gluck in 1760s and some of Haydn's symphonies from the early 1770s such as Trauersinfonie and the Farewell).

	Definitions of Romanticism

		The romantic period in classical music ran from the early 19th century until the early 20th century (although many later composers may be said to still write in a romantic style).
		Although the word "romantic" now most usually means "something related to love", romantic music as spoken about by musicologists and academics is not necessarily about this and does not always sound like what would nowadays be thought of as "romantic" in the general sense.

	Music Traits of the Romantic Period
		In a very general sense, all art may be said to be romantic; for though it may take its materials from actual life, it transforms them and thus creates a new world which is necessarily to a greater or lesser degree remote from the everyday world requiring a subjective, and individual interpretation by the public.
		That this remoteness, strangeness, and subjectivity is heightened in the Romantic Era is perhaps its most clarifying difference from the earlier period.
		Program music becomes a staple of the concert fare and incidents of history, or abstractions of poetry are often the starting point for a musical composition.

	Classical Music and Romantic Music - Part One
		The Classical era is also the age of the American and French Revolutions, of Napoleon and the transformation of the map of Europe, and of the rationalistic and confident world of the Enlightenment.
		All of this was reflected in the music of the Romantic era, an era in which the bourgeois salon largely replaced the aristocratic court as the principal theater of cultural activity.
		Romantic in this sense comes from the French "roman," or novel: it was used to describe writers of highly colored, fantastic, and emotionally gripping tales, poems, and novels.

	Lecture 16: The Romantic Era
		To speak of a Romantic era is to identify a period in which certain ideas and attitudes arose, gained currency and in most areas of intellectual endeavor, became dominant.
		In doing so, the Romantics were similar to Renaissance humanists in that both failed to perceive the meaning and importance of the cultural period which had preceded their own (see Lecture 4).
		The Romantics returned God to Nature -- the age revived the unseen world, the supernatural, the mysterious, the world of medieval man. It is no accident that the first gothic novel appears early in the Romantic Age.

		The music we studied last time was of the period called the Classical: in the specific as opposed to the generic meaning of this term.

	Toward a Definition of Romanticism
		The term Romantic as a designation for a school of literature opposed to the Classic was first used by the German critic Karl Wilhelm Friedrich von Schlegel (1772-1829) at the beginning of the 19th century.
		If the Romantic often sees his enemy in the successful bourgeois, the Philistine with a vested interest in social stability, political revolution is not always his goal.
		His admiration for the natural, the organic, which in art leads to the overthrow of the Classical rules and the development of a unique form for each work, in politics may lead him to subordinate the individual to the state and insist that the needs of the whole govern the activities of the parts.

		Most important was music's sudden love affair with narrative; a piece not only expressed emotions, but also an evocative, story-like progression of mood and mode.
