What This Module is All About
Romantic music refers to Western music composed in the late 18th century to
the 19 century. Composers and artist believed in letting their imagination and
passion be seen through their works.

Program music became the main form of instrumental compositions which is

evident in concert overtures, program symphonies, symphonic poems, and incidental
music. Program music is a form that portrays an idea or relays a story to the
audience. An example to this musical form may be seen in Hector Berlioz’s
“Symphonic Fantastique.” Some of the other famous composers of the period are
Franz Liszt, Frederic Chopin, Camille Saint-Saens, Robert Schumann, and Peter
Ilyich Tchaikowsky.

Short piano pieces in ABA form that shows emotions were developed during
this period.

As the century progressed, music became increasingly available and popular

among the middle class. Concert halls provided venues for musical performances
and instrumental music was available to a wide audience.

Nationalism is reflected in most of the music of the Romantic Era. In the

previous historical periods, composers borrowed musical styles from Germany, Italy,
and France. However, composers of the Romantic Period began incorporating their
country’s native folk song and musical styles into their compositions.
