Romantic music In music, no matter composing or playing, romanticism is characterized by emphasizing individuality and emotional expression. This change is partly due to the change of musicians' social status. /kloc-composers in the 0/7th century were entrusted to create works for noble protectors, while composers in the 0/8th century relied on the audience of city concerts. In this sense, Beethoven inherited the classicism period and inspired The Romantic Period, because his musical skills were basically classical, but he regarded his music above all else as a means of self-expression, thus setting an important example for composers in the19th century. It is generally believed that C.M. von Weber is the beginning of a truly romantic composer. He established the position of German romantic opera with The Magical Bomber, followed by Schubert, Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner and many other composers. They have made great achievements in the creation of new romantic genres such as art songs, title symphonies, piano sketches, symphonic poems and operas. The romantic spirit in music, whether it is romance or instrumental music, often draws inspiration from poems, fairy tales and folk stories. Romantic music works are more free in form and structure, subject to emotional needs, and consciously characterized by fragmentation or improvisation. The exploration of the relationship between long-distance harmony and tonality has greatly expanded the harmony language. The ideal of romanticism is vividly reflected in the grand opera of19th century. Strong nationalism, reverence for heroes, strange scenery and costumes, and exquisite skills in descriptive music, symphony and vocal music all constitute romantic music.
