LESSON

Some musicians, composers and researchers around the world as a cultural

movement that stressed emotion, imagination, individualism and freedom of
expression describe Romantic Period. Expanding the formal structure within a
composition and making the pieces more passionate and expressive characterized it.

Nationalism is one of the main features of this era. This is evidently shown in
some compositions made by Romantic composers. One of which is the Polonaise of
Frederic Chopin, a dance composition for piano which is famous in Poland until
today.

Emotions, variety of musical style in compositions, freedom of expression are

only a few things that characterized the music of the Romantic period. It was during
the heights of popularity of Ludwig Van Beethoven, one of the great composers during
the Classical period made a great distinction to change the phase of composing music
by bridging the music from Classical to Romantic era.
Page 6
 The culture of extensive music education in Europe extends from the Classical
period and explored more in this era. Orchestra grows in number and became
limitless, composers explored instrumentation and many compositions were inspired
by emotions in addition to a musical theme.

The music during this period used forms borrowed from Classical music and
made them bigger longer songs and more instruments. The themes they wrote in
their composition are mainly about nature, literature, history and feelings.

Violin and Strings Music:

Famous Composer of Violin and Strings Music

Niccolo Paganini
He was born in October 27, 1782 in
Genoa, Italy in a family of six children. His
musical skills started with playing the mandolin
at the age of five. He eventually transferred his
training to the violin at the age of seven with
different renowned violin professors in Italy. His
violin teachers could not keep up with the
progress of his violin skills that he kept on
transferring from one violin teacher to another
and was therefore filled with all their influences.

Paganini became the most famous violin

virtuoso in the world. However, together with his
fame came the rumors that said that his amazing
violin skills were a gift from the devil and that he
sold his soul in exchange for those skills. He was
also rumored to have a problem with women and
gambling.

His compositions inspired a lot of other composers such as Franz Liszt, Frederic
Chopin and Robert Schumann to name a few.

Some Works of Niccolo Paganini:

“La Campanella”
24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op. 1 ConcertoNo.1inEb,Op.6
15 Quartets for Guitar and Strings Trio
The Carnival of Venice
