romantic music is a term referring to a particular
, , practice, and in
European , from about 1815 to 1910.
Romantic music as a movement does not refer to the expression
and expansion of musical ideas established in earlier periods,
such as the classical period, nor does it necessarily refer to
romantic love, though that theme was prevalent in many works
composed during this time period. More appropriately,
romanticism describes the expansion of formal structures within
a composition, making the pieces more passionate and
expressive. Because of the expansion of form (those elements
pertaining to form, key, instrumentation and the like) within a
typical composition, it became easier to identify an artist based
on the work.

 Music is defined as “the art or science of combining
vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce
beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.”
A musician, then, is passionate by definition and
soulful in character. And while music plays an integral
role in modern society, it has done so for several
centuries.
