	Romantic music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Romantic composers were aided by improvements in technology, which provided significant changes in the language of music, ranging from an increase in the range and power of the piano to improvements in the sound and reach of the symphony orchestra.

	Romanticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the early 20th century, the sense that there had been a decisive break with the musical past led to the establishment of the 19th century as "The Romantic Era," and as such it is referred to in the standard encyclopedias of music.
		In the 20th Century Russian-American writer Ayn Rand called herself a romantic, and thought she might be a 'bridge' from the romantic era to an eventual esthetic rebirth of the movement.
		Early Romantic nationalism was strongly inspired by Rousseau, and by the ideas of Johann Gottfried von Herder, who in 1784 argued that the geography formed the natural economy of a people, and shaped their customs and society.

	Romantic Music - Part Three
		Liszt was the epitome of the Romantic virtuoso.
		Music history, of course, had already known many great virtuosi--Bach on the organ, Corelli on the violin, and Mozart on the piano were, in their own ways, equally brilliant, and their music--we must remember that all of these men performed essentially only their own music--was far superior in quality.
		Romantic music still has an enormous influence on nearly all forms of modern (late 20th-century) popular music, especially film and TV music and so-called "easy listening music," which is often a watered-down imitation of Romantic cliches without either the inspiring philosophy or the depth of material.

	The Music of the Romantic Era
		Their music is clearly Romantic in style and feeling, but it also still clearly does not want to stray too far from the Classical rules.
		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.

		Romantic music represents a much more personal approach to music, writing for the common man. Where Baroque music seems to be relating to a specific few and Classical music seems to be relating to Everyman, Romantic music is often a very personal journey into the private thoughts and feelings of the composer.

		His compositions (mostly symphonies of gigantic musical proportions that are bursting at the seams with musical and literary ideas) reflect his personal tragedies, his restless pessimism, and the social frustration, decadence, and artistic upheaval of the the time.

		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.
		The poem is not simply set as a melody that is repeated in verses, but rather the music follows the course of the poem, with power and excitement depicting in turn the furious pace of the horse, the little boy's terror, the father's growing anxiety, and the Erlking's sweet but deadly seduction.

		However, music throughout the 19th century, that known as high Romantic music, was far more dramatic and experimental, often inspired by a place, scene, event, nature, or character.
		Yes, high Romantic music dominated the 19th century; however, Romanticism is also representative of a mood and style that reappears in various forms in the 20th century, a rather difficult century to categorize neatly and conveniently, even for the sake of study.
