Listening to music - a good way to explore and understand our culture and
other culture...
Romantic music is a term
describing a style of Western classical music that existed roughly from 1810 to
1900. It formed part and parcel of Romanticism, the artistic and literary
movement that arose in the second half of the 18th century in Europe...
Romantic music as
a movement evolved from the formats, genres and musical ideas established in
earlier periods, such as the classical period, and went further in the name of
expression and syncretism of different art-forms with music. Romanticism does
not necessarily refer to romantic love, though that theme was prevalent in many
works composed during this time period, both in literature, painting, or music.
Romanticism followed a path that led to the expansion of formal structures for
a composition set down or at least created in their general outlines in earlier
periods, and the end-result is that the pieces are "understood" to be
more passionate and expressive, both by 19th century and today's audiences.
Because of the expansion of form (those elements pertaining to form, key,
instrumentation and the like) within a typical composition, and the growing
idiosyncrasies and expressiveness of the new composers from the new century, it
thus became easier to identify an artist based on his work or style...
Romantic music
attempted to increase emotional expression and power to describe deeper truths
or human feelings, while preserving but in many cases extending the formal
structures from the classical period, in others, creating new forms that were
deemed better suited to the new subject matter. The subject matter in the new
music was now not only purely abstract, but also frequently drawn from other
art-form sources such as literature, or history (historical figures) or nature
itself.
The impact of music
on people ... It should be borne in mind that within each genre there are a
variety of styles. Some of them are active and have energy, while others are
passive and help relax...
Music Romanticism (Schubert, Schumann,
Tchaikovsky, Chopin and Liszt) emphasizes the significance and sensitivity,
often evokes individualism, nationalism and mysticism ... It is best used to
enhance sympathy, passion and love...
Franz Peter Schubert
Franz Peter Schubert ( 31 January 1797
– 19 November 1828) was an Austrian composer...
Although he died at the age of 31,
Schubert was a prolific composer, having written some 600 Lieder, nine
symphonies (including the famous "Unfinished Symphony"), liturgical
music, operas, some incidental music, and a large body of chamber and solo
piano music. Appreciation of Schubert's music during his lifetime was limited,
but interest in his work increased significantly in the decades following his
death. Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn,
among others, discovered and championed his works in the 19th century.
Today, Schubert is seen as one of the leading
exponents of the early Romantic era in music and he remains one of the most
frequently performed composers....

Robert Alexander Schumann
Robert Schumann, sometimes known as
Robert Alexander Schumann,(8 June 1810 – 29 July 1856) was a German composer,
aesthete and influential music critic...
He is regarded as one of the greatest and most
representative composers of the Romantic era...
Schumann left the study of law to return to
music, intending to pursue a career as a virtuoso pianist. He had been assured
by his teacher Friedrich Wieck that he could become the finest pianist in Europe,
but a hand injury ended this dream. Schumann then focused his musical energies
on composing...
Schumann had considerable influence in
the nineteenth century and beyond, despite his adoption of more conservative
modes of composition after his marriage. He left an array of acclaimed music in
virtually all the forms then known. Partly through his protégé Brahms,
Schumann's ideals and musical vocabulary became widely disseminated. Composer
Sir Edward Elgar called Schumann "my ideal."...
Schumann has not often been confused
with Austrian composer Franz Schubert, but one well-known example occurred in
1956, when East Germany issued a pair of postage stamps featuring Schumann's
picture against an open score that featured Schubert's music. The stamps were
soon replaced by a pair featuring music written by Schumann...

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (May 7, 1840
– November 6, 1893) was a Russian composer whose works included symphonies,
operas, ballets, and chamber music. Some of these rate amongst the most popular
concert and theatrical music in the classical repertoire...
Despite his musical precocity,
Tchaikovsky was educated for a career as a civil servant, as there was scant
opportunity for someone to pursue a musical career in Russia at that time, nor
any system of public music education. When an opportunity for such an education
arose, however, he entered the then-nascent Saint Petersburg Conservatory, from
where he graduated in 1865. The formal Western-oriented training he received
there set him apart from composers of the contemporary nationalist movement
embodied by the Russian composers of The Five, with whom his professional
relationship was mixed...

Frédéric François Chopin
Frédéric François Chopin ( 22 February
or 1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist.
He is considered one of the great masters of Romantic music and has been called
"the poet of the piano"...
The vast majority of Chopin's works
are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber
pieces and some songs to Polish texts. His piano works are often technically
demanding, with an emphasis on nuance and expressive depth. Chopin invented the
instrumental ballade and made major innovations to the piano sonata, mazurka,
waltz, nocturne, polonaise, étude, impromptu, scherzo and prélude...

Franz Liszt
Franz Liszt (October 22, 1811 – July
31, 1886) was a 19th-century Hungarian composer, pianist, conductor, and
teacher...
Liszt became renowned in Europe during
the nineteenth century for his virtuosic skill as a pianist. He was said by his
contemporaries to have been the most technically advanced pianist of his age.
In the 1840s he was considered by some to be perhaps the greatest pianist of
all time. He was also a well-known composer, piano teacher, and conductor...
Among his pupils was Valerie Boissier,
whose mother Caroline kept a careful diary of the lessons. From her we learn
that: "M. Liszt's playing contains
abandonment, a liberated feeling, but even when it becomes impetuous and
energetic in his fortissimo, it is still without harshness and dryness. .. [He]
draws from the piano tones that are purer, mellower and stronger than anyone
has been able to do; his touch has an indescribable charm. .. He is the enemy
of affected, stilted, contorted expressions. Most of all, he wants truth in
musical sentiment, and so he makes a psychological study of his emotions to
convey them as they are. Thus, a strong expression is often followed by a sense
of fatigue and dejection, a kind of coldness, because this is the way nature
works."...
On June 24, 1872, the composer and
conductor Karl Müller-Hartung founded an "Orchesterschule"
("Orchestra School") at Weimar. Although Liszt and Müller-Hartung
were on friendly terms, Liszt took no active part in that foundation. The
"Orchesterschule" later developed to a conservatory which still
exists and is now called "Hochschule für Musik "Franz Liszt",
Weimar"...
