Editor's Notes
- #5: Hence, setting a higher level of critical thinking for musician, Romantic music opened boundless roads to musical evolution which led composers to take different paths.
- #6: Romantic composers prioritized the emotional or narrative content of the music above its form, which is why they broke so many of the classical composers' rules. Romantic composers didn't reject or break with the musical language developed during the Classical Period. They used its forms as a foundation for their work but felt unconstrained by them.
- #7: Music theory was not content with old formulas and traditional rules. Musical elements of this period include subjectivism, freedom of form and design, and dramatic contrast in dynamics.
- #8: Much of Romantic Era art, including music, also re鍖ected the tension and nationalism of war and revolution that swept across Europe from the French Revolution (1789) through the mid-century revolutions and on to the national uni鍖cations in the 1870s. Examples of this include the sculpture Departure of the Volunteers on the fa巽ade of Paris's Arc de Triomphe, which alludes to soldiers both of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars; and Spanish painter Francisco Goya's paintings depicting Spanish resistance to Napoleon.
- #9: These four themes aren't clearly delineated, as you can 鍖nd many or all of them incorporated into a single work. One of the ways Romantic composers did this was by writing pieces inspired by literature. This method gave a composition with both a narrative and emotional framework for the composer
- #10: With the rise of the middle class, romantic composers wrote for public concerts and festivals with huge audiences who did not necessarily know musics, unlike past composers who lived on aristocratic patronage and performed to small upper class and knowledgeable audience. The romantics showed the world that there should be no social discrimination in music
- #11: While the classical period had an emphasis towards elegance and balance in its music, the romantic period focused upon the use of song-like melodies and newer harmonic elements to be designed to feel much more personal and emotive to the listeners or player
- #13: The piano signi鍖cantly evolved during the Romantic Period. For example, the number of physical keys expanded from 鍖ve to eight octaves. The materials used to construct piano frames shifted from wood to metal, and the durability of the metal used to manufacture its strings improved. These improvements enriched the pitch range and tonal quality of the piano. one of the most signi鍖cant changes to instrumentation during the Romantic Era wasn't the nature of the instruments individually, but changes in the instrumentation of the works.
- #14: The Steinway family invented the cross-string layout now used in modern pianos, allowing for richer tone qualitie
- #15: A program music genre is well-used in film music today, adding a more applicable and effective audio atmosphere for the viewers. Pop musicians also apply program music in their compositions, but with a lot of ease due to the present of lyrics The assumption of program music is that it must have program notes to share with the audience and explain the work. That may have been true when it 鍖rst gained its greatest popularity during the Romantic Period, but handing out notes isn't the de鍖ning characteristic of program music. 油In part because program music didn't have to tell a narrative story, but could be used to evoke the spirit of a time or place.
- #16: The symphonic or tone poem, a popular form of program music from the Romantic era, was intended to paint a scene where it transports the listener, which may or may not be a narrative story. For example, Sibelius composed numerous tone poems from old Finnish mythology, but composed others meant to invoke the spirit of his country and inspire patriotism, such as Finlandia
