Sometimes a new style of music happens when composers forcefully
reject the old style. Early Classical composers, for example, have been
determined to break out from what they taken into consideration the excesses of
the Baroque style. Modern composers also have been consciously seeking to
invent something new and surely different. But the composers of the Romantic
period did now not reject Classical music. In fact, they have been consciously
emulating the composers they taken into consideration to be the fantastic
classicists: Haydn, Mozart, and especially Beethoven. They persisted to jot down
symphonies, concertos, sonatas, and operas, bureaucracy that have been all
famous with classical composers. They also saved the basic regulations for this
bureaucracy, as well as retaining the guidelines of rhythm, melody, harmony,
harmonic progression, tuning, and performance exercising that were installed in
the Classical period.

 What’s New
\

The Romantic period is from 1820 -

1910. This was a time where composers,
artists and authors moved away from the
formal restraint of the Classical period.
They saw music as a means of individual
and emotional expression. As a result, the
scope of emotional content was broadened.
The classical structure was expanded into a
more complex, rich musical language. This
approach was originated by Ludwig Van
Beethoven who lived and worked during the
transition from the Classical to the Romantic
period and became the inspiration to the
Romantic composers who came after him.
They were inspired by romantic love, the
supernatural and even dark themes such as
death. They showed the world that there
should be no segregation of musical tastes
and that the purpose was to write music that
was to be heard. Because of this, the music
grew closer to art, literature and theatre.
