Romantic music
Early romantic music, like other sister arts, originated from the "Enlightenment Age" in Europe and the liberal democratic thought of the French Revolution, which was decades later than literary romanticism. Beethoven's late works became the pioneers of early romanticism, and then all composers can be classified as romantics. From the time point of view, 19 century is the heyday of romantic music.
In the late works of classical composers Beethoven, Rossini and Weber, the style of romantic music has been exposed, and it is they who created romanticism. Composers born around 1800 formed the center of early romanticism. Later, romantic music was further improved by Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin and Verdi, and reached its peak in the era of Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Liszt and Wagner. These composers and pianists formed the center of mid-term romanticism. As for Mahler and Richard? The works of famous modern artists such as Strauss and Rachmaninov belong to the late romantic music.
The position of romantic music school in the history of music is self-evident. This period not only produced great musicians, but also had an unprecedented range of music genres, such as wordless songs, nocturnes, art songs, narrative songs and symphonic poems, which were novel and unique, and were a great "treasure house" in the history of human art.
Comparison between Classical Music Style and Romantic Music Style
Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, the three classicists and the most outstanding representatives of Vienna classicism, became popular in the middle of18th century. With the industrial revolution, the development of science and technology and the impact of the French Revolution, profound changes have taken place in European society. Art is no longer just an elegant art appreciated by nobles, but the newly rising middle class has also become an audience in theaters and concert halls. As a result, a large number of popular operas and lively instrumental music appeared.
This period was praised as "classical" by historians and artists. In the field of music, the classical style is manifested in advocating rationality in art, concise and concise music language, and expressing simple and sincere feelings in a rigorous and harmonious form. This period is a brilliant achievement in the history of European music. At the same time, it also affects the development of music all over the world.
/kloc-at the end of 0/8/at the beginning of 0/9, during the European bourgeois national democratic revolution, the romantic form began to take shape with the artistic songs of Austrian composer Schubert and the opera of German composer Weber, and lasted until the 1920s of 19.
Romantic music is represented by Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Wagner and Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky. Emphasize subjectivity, pay attention to personal emotional expression, emphasize personalized psychological portrayal, be passionate and not stick to form. The works of musicians of various nationalities are full of distinctive national styles.
The time-space boundary between classicism and romanticism is not obvious. They existed for a while. It is not easy to find a definition that can clearly distinguish the two, and these definitions often ignore many very important factors because of oversimplification. In fact, classicism is as sharp as lines, while romanticism is dominated by color and emotion, which contains many subjective and utopian elements. This is the intuitive feeling that music gives us.
And I think the difference between the two kinds of music is more reflected in the non-musical elements. In The Romantic Period, the social status of composers has changed. They are no longer employees of cities, courts or churches. Beethoven in the classical period only gained some independence, because no matter how generously the rich let him go his own way, most of his income was maintained under the protection of the nobility. Now, in theory, composers are completely their own masters. In fact, they are public servants, so they can make music that the public wants to listen to without thinking.
Classicism is as rational, clear and full of logical thinking as woodcut, while romantic music is as full of people's feelings as watercolors and colored oil paintings, and likes the grandeur of classicism and the delicate intimacy of romanticism. Listen to Mozart's Woman's Heart and feel the combination of laughter and tears. I also like listening to Schubert's serenade. Exquisite and small, amazing. I like music. I like all kinds of music. They let me feel the passion and emotion that I can't feel in my life. Music enriched me and made me learn to be moved. Music is emotional. It makes people cry, makes people laugh, and makes people who are gradually away from me return to themselves. Both classicism and romanticism are inseparable from the foundation.
