4. ABSTRACTION SETTING OF THE ROMANTIC PERIOD
The vast changes in politics, society, and economy during the 19th century have
greatly affected the arts. In music, those changes caused a great shift in the way
composers create music and the audience listen to it. Changes in the political
system of Europe greatly affected the way musicians made their living. The nobility
and aristocrats, who once funded composers and orchestras, gradually lost their
powers and wealth. Concerts also became more of public events rather than
private parties of the elite or the church. Composers of the period have to do
additional work and cannot rely anymore on the patronage of the wealthy upper
class. Chopin, for example, had to teach piano rather than only focus on his career
as composer and performer. In spite of this, musicians still benefited from the
widespread of music production and consumption across different levels of society.
Houses of the middle class became important places of music making in this period.
Chamber works, music for a small group of musicians, are often performed as
entertainment in these places. The piano became the favorite instrument for both
professional and amateur musicians. Middle class families often enrolled their
children to private piano lessons. Hence, the wider public became more exposed to
music and began to acquire music literacy.

In comparison to Classical composers, Romantic composers make music that evoke

emotional expression exposing their innermost thoughts in the belief that music,
particularly instrumental music, can convey ideas and feelings that cannot be put
into words. The Romantic music genre called tone poem or symphonic poem best
captured this idea. Tone poem or symphonic poem is a kind of program music
commonly written for orchestra which is inspired by ideas or scenes from stories,
poems and even sceneries. To convey these ideas, composers made use for a much
wider range of dynamics, varied articulation markings, and chromatic harmonies.
Moreover, the size of the orchestra became relatively bigger and other instrument
groups within the orchestra such as woodwinds and percussion were given main
parts of the piece. For the next succeeding years, composers preferred to compose
instrumental music over vocal music. Thus, the Romantic period paved the way for
the rise of prestige of instrumental music. The Romantic era is also notable because
of the rise of the virtuoso. The concept of the virtuoso, one who is highly skilled in
arts, was highlighted and redefined during this period. The virtuoso became a title
associated with a performer having a highly technical and sophisticated skill in
music so brilliant that he/she is able to mesmerize the audience. Notable virtuosos
of the period include violinist Nicolo Paganini and pianist Franz Liszt.

A lot of program music were composed and became famous during that time.
Some of the notable ones were set to ballet like Peter Illych Tchaikovsky’s
“Nutcracker Suite” and Camille Saint-Saens’ “Carnival of Animals”.
Romantic composers felt free to stretch and twist the Classical Musical Forms. They
were searching for a way to grow their identity through their songs, one that was
familiar to the audience.
