Week 2: Romantic Period

Medieval: ROMANESQUE (500-1400) Medieval: Gothic (1100-1430) Renaissance (1400-1600) Baroque (1600-1700) Classical (1730-1820) Romantic (1815-1910) 20th-century (1900-2000) Contemporary (1975-present) 21st-century (2000-present).
A. STYLE AND PERFORMANCE PRACTICE:
  1. The Romantic composers believed that music could and should tell a story, intimate sounds of nature, or illustrate a scene aurally.
  2. Solo songs enjoyed considerable attention during the Romantic era, as composers became involved with literary forms for their texts.
  3. Musical form continued to be based on contrasting melodies in the homo phonic style, making the sonata the most important type of formal organization. 





    Lesson in week 2:

    - Now we learn that in romantic period they use any style of performance, like in orchestra they use their own style of presenting, they use piano because it becomes the most popular instrument of romantic period because it could run the gamut of all ranges of sound and because it could be played by one person.
    - And they use different kind of homo-phonic texture style, and they use melody to been characterized by an intensity of personal feelings. Dynamic Climaxes and frequent changes in dynamics served to build the tension necessary for its expression.
