Music in Romanticism

The Romantic era produced many more composers whose names and music are still familiar and popular today. Ludwig van Beethoven is probably the most well known as well as the most influential composer of the Romantic time period. His early works are from the Classical period and are clearly Classical in style. But his later music, including the majority of his most famous music, is almost strictly romantic. Romantic era composers no longer were constrained. Breaking through boundaries was now an honorable goal shared by them. Music expressed ones true emotions and could be regarded as anything from happy and joyous, to despairing or filled with deep longings, all depending on the mood and state of mind the composer was in at the time.
