capitalism. The Romantic Periods basic quality is emotional subjectivity. Composers explore feelings of grandiosity, intimacy, unpredictability,
sadness, rapture, and longing. Roman Vocal like the art song and operas were about fantasy, supernatural, romance, and the nature as mirror of the
human heart VERTOUSO PERFORMER are not also instrumentalist but also a singer. One singer sometimes sounds like several characters by use of
different vocal register.
