Main Characteristics of Romantic Music. Freedom of form and design. It was more
personal and emotional. Song-like melodies (lyrical), as well as many chromatic
harmonies and discords.Feb 15, 2010

As music grew more expressive, the standard orchestral palette just wasn't rich
enough for many Romantic composers. Woodwind instruments like the
contrabassoon, bass clarinet and piccolo made guest appearances in the orchestra
to add some much needed colour, and the percussion section exploded in size with
the addition of xylophones, drums, celestes, harps, bells, and triangles - when it
comes to the Romantic period, the bigger, the better. As show in the Symphony
No.1, Op.44 (Hol, Richard). There are a lot instrument being used to play on entire
song .

Symphony No.1, Op.44 (Hol, Richard) got 4 movementa nd section , Lento - Allegro
molto agitato, Preghiera. Adagio - Etwas bewegt - Pi lento, Presto and Allegro con
brio and it make the pieces more colourful .the key of the pieces is in D Minor. The
song was dedicated to Collegium Musicum Ultrajectinum for their anniversary
celebration . the duration of the orchestra is 30- 35 minutes.

The harmony in this piece is the chords and progression, key, consonance and
dissonance. The chords also used an emphasizing skill that will give more harmony
effect on the song and also surprises (in a tutti), then become suspended and
finality. The texture of the piece is polyphonic, two and more independent melodies
sounding at the same time. There are also have an imitative texture. This orchestral
piece have so many dynamics that will played in all variations. The relative of
quietness and loudness of music fall under the general element of dynamics. The
loud and soft contains forte, fortissimo, crescendo, decrescendo, piano. An accents
is to punching the note harder (mostly in the intro) or leaning into a note to
emphasize it.
