(About 1820-1900 AD)

With the end of the classical music period after 1820, romantic music began to sprout. The music forms of this period were richer, and it was the closest to modern times among the peak periods of classical art. Most of the classical music that is most accepted today came from this period. Romantic music has paid more attention to people's spiritual realm and subjective emotional expression, has become more prominent in the performance of natural scenery, and has made more frequent use of ethnic and folk music. It can be said that it is truly becoming popular. In fact, the late works of composers such as Beethoven and Rossini of the classical music school have already revealed the color of romantic music. Musicians born around 1800 formed the center of early romanticism. Romantic music was then perfected by well-known musicians such as Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin and Verdi, and reached its peak in the era of Tchaikovsky, Liszt and Wagner, who formed the foundation of romantic music. core. Of course, the contributions of late romantic musicians Mahler and Rachmaninov cannot be underestimated. In the musical period before the transition to current music, it is only a hundred years from the early 20th century to the present, but this is also a period of gradual evolution from classical music to modern music. During this short period, a variety of music forms have appeared, There are impressionistic music, expressionist music and neoclassical music that can also be called classical music forms. Expressionist music and neoclassical music are generally called new music, which generally refers to the new music forms discovered after Impressionist music. Compared with the romantic period and previous classical music, these musics are essentially different. The transition from classical music to modern music has become an inevitable trend.

The music of this period paid more attention to the expression of people's spiritual realm and subjective emotions, and the expression of natural scenery became more and more prominent. The use of ethnic and folk music in creation was more important and frequent. In the mid-to-late 19th century, a national music school emerged with the mission of revitalizing national music. In terms of music genres, new instrumental solo genres have emerged, such as nocturnes, improvisations, ballades, scherzos, fantasies and songs without words.
