Romantic music
Nineteenth-century orchestral style
Romantic music refers to the Western classical tradition of roughly 1800–1910, characterized by emotional expressiveness, expanded orchestras, and programmatic themes.
Composers like Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner, and Brahms emphasized individual feeling over formal restraint: She prefers Romantic music to Baroque.
The era prized virtuosity, nationalism, and works inspired by literature, nature, and myth.
