INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC OF THE ROMANTIC PERIOD

Romantic music refers to Western music composed in the late 18th century to the
19th century. Romantic Period is described as a cultural movement that stressed emotion,
imagination, individualism and freedom of expression. Program music became the main
form of instrumental compositions that portrays an idea or relays a story to the audience.
Piano music of the Romantic period was filled with innovations. Nationalism was also
incorporated in the music of the Romantic period. An example of a composition that shows
nationalism is the Polonaise of Frederic Chopin, which is a dance composition for piano and
is famous in Poland until today.

Famous Composers:
Ludwig Van Beethoven bridged the music from Classical to Romantic era by
expressing his passion and emotions through his music. Paganini became the most famous
violin virtuoso in the world. Frederic Chopin was known as the “Poet of the Piano”. Chopin
composed almost primarily for the piano. The best word that describes the works of Franz
Liszt is “virtuosity”. He was known as the virtuoso pianist, a composer and the busiest
musician during the romantic era. One of the famous Romantic composers that beautifully
combined music and words is Robert Schumann. In his journal, Schumann often wrote
under two pseudonyms - Eusebius (his sensitive, lyrical side) and Florestan (his fiery,
stormy side). Hector Berlioz is a French romantic composer. At his young age, he learned
to play guitar and flute but never became skilled in a specific musical instrument. One of his
famous musical compositions is a five movement symphony called “Symphonie
Fantastique”. Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky was known for his ballet music. His famous works
include, “Swan Lake”, “Sleeping Beauty”, The Nutcracker”, and “Romeo & Juliet”. Camille
Saint-Saëns was known as a talented musician from an early age. He was considered as a
composer who creates elegant music, neat, clean, polished and never excessive. One of
this is example is “The Swan”.
