    WHAT TO KNOW?

    MUSIC OF THE ROMANTIC PERIOD 1820-


    1910
    Romantic Period is described by
    some musicians, composers and
    researchers around the world as a
    cultural movement that stressed
    emotion, imagination, individualism
    and freedom of expression.
    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.
    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 piano music is in free form such
    as fantasy, rhapsody, ballad and
    nocturne and program music was
    expressed in tone poems and
    Symphony Fantastique. The music
    was used to tell stories and express
    ideas. Most of the composers were
    proud of their country’s music and
    often use folk songs in their works.
    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.
    PIANO MUSIC
     One of the important features in the
    development of music during the Romantic
    era is the piano innovations. Classical era
    made significance in piano through the
    composition of sonatas made by Ludwig Van
    Beethoven and other classical composers but
    it was reinvented and developed by some
    Romantic composers like Frederic Chopin
    and Franz Liszt that was shown in some of
    their composition.
    PROGRAM MUSIC
     One of the distinct characteristic of
    romantic music is the unique feature of
    instrumental forms called “Program
    music”. It is an instrumental music that
    conveys image or scenes, music that tells a
    short story without text or lyrics and
    imaginative ideas fully developed through
    the imaginative effort of a `great and
    genius composer Hector Berlioz.
    In his composition “Symphonie
    Fantastique” or also known as fantastic
    symphony, Berloiz showcase the important
    features in his composition in creating tone
    color which was never before heard. He
    treated the orchestra like a beautiful
    creation and assembled hundreds of
    musicians to produced powerful sound. In
    most of his composition, he made tone
    color as the basic part of his musical
    language.
