Background Information for Learners The 19th century witnessed the growth of the styles in art, literature and music we call Romantic. An era of drama and action, Romanticism is a movement that began in France with the famous Jean-Jacques Rousseau, poets like Goethe from Germany, and Sir Walter Scott in England. The French revolution brought the ideals of freedom and individualism with such color and extravagance; a movement that believed in the power of emotion rather than the intellect. It was Beethoven who bridged the gap in the transition of music from Classical to the Romantic Period. His latter works made him the pioneer of Romanticism in music. The composers of this era still served the nobles and aristocrats of Europe. Performances were no longer intended for amateurs but demand higher skill for trained performers. Mostly men dominated the music scene. But names like Clara Schuman and Fanny Mendelssohn made their way as composers and even publish their works. Music as an industry was the main impact of why composers would write music in this period. Composers, publishers and concert managers had to sell their works so music would have a wider patronage especially along the people living in the countryside. Unique personalities came to rise like Liszt, Berlioz and Wagner. Musicians with such expertise were known all over Europe and even America. The romantic period (1820-1900) in music brought the musician closer to discover their self that let them experienced personal forms of art. The Purpose of Music The function of music in the romantic period is for composers to create music that arose and explored human feelings. Musical forms such as the opera, ballets, symphonic poems, piano music were just among works of art that flourished during this time. Music was sometimes experimental. Social dancing helped the composers advertise dance music. The best example of dance music was the waltz that gave way for Strauss’ fame and fortune. Church music was no longer the center of their subject because musicians would rather cater to the audience request to earn an income. 3 Below are the characteristics of music of the romantic period according to the elements of music: Elements of Music Rhythm Melody Harmony Texture Instrumentation/Tone Color - Characteristics Irregular Complex Full of Emotion Tells a story/Paint a picture Tonal Homophonic Heavy, combination of vocal and instrumental music Piano as an instrument is heighted Orchestra Lied Opera Dynamic symbols were indicated clearly in the Romantic Music. Terminologies were introduced including markings on the use of metronome. The metronome was invented by Johann Marzel, a trained musician but chose to become an inventor. Among his inventions were the Panharmonicon or automaphone, ear trumpets (used by Beethoven as hearing aid), Chronometer, and metronome. Orchestra in the romantic period grew to be the crowd’s favorite large ensemble. Since the classical period, additional instruments included English horn, clarinets, as well as brass and percussion instruments. Aside from the instruments, an orchestra, conductors emerged as a performer with the baton on his hand. Individualism highlighted the importance of the virtuoso artist in their period. Among those pianists were: Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt; together with Robert and Clara Schumann who were pianists and composers, as well as violinist like Paganini, Berlioz, Joachim and Brahms. The Piano Music The piano was the most popular instrument of the romantic era. Several piano playing were evident in the romantic period. As piano construction improved, composers wrote music that was difficult and challenging. The square pianos were manufactured in England in 1767 by John Broadwood. By then, square keyboard was in black keys with light or white top chromatics. Since 1785, improvements in the mechanics have been made from the string section to the volume of sound. And by 1800, the square piano now turned into wing-shape piano, with keyboards of white and black chromatics just like in the modern piano. There were now 3-unison string per note and 3 pedals. Musicians who first used pedals in compositions are Haydn, Clemente, Dussek, Field and Beethoven. Grand pianos were manufactured in Paris by Erard Freres in 1796. In 1802, Dussek was the one that initiated to place the piano sideways in concert halls so audience could view the performer’s profile. 4 III.
