Thank your this very good video. However I'm so surprised that you bring an example from La Boheme for Giuseppe Verdi, when everyone knows it's written by Puccini!! Verdi composed Aida, Traviata and Rigoletto...
Si Ludwid ay ang aking maestro! dahil napaka galing niya kahit isa siyang bingi! NGapala si Franz Schubert ay ang kanyang dakilang tagahanga! NA siyanf nag compose ng AVE MARIA! Si Franz Lizst naman ay dating student ng maestro nainspire siya kaya siya ang naging pinaka mabilis na piyanista! Recommend ko sayoang {Fur Elise th-cam.com/video/_mVW8tgGY_w/w-d-xo.html} promise narinig mona ito!!! Si MAestro Beethoven ang nagkumpose noung bingi siya! PAra iyon sa babaeng mahal niya pero sabi niya.... Beethoven: Therese ko! maaari mo ba akong pakasalan!? Pero ayaw sa kanya ni Elise dahil may mahal na siyang iba! Sana magustohan mo po! th-cam.com/video/_mVW8tgGY_w/w-d-xo.html
Honestly the Romantic period is so special. Some of my favourite pieces are from the period. Zimmerman performing Brahms Piano Concerto No.2 and Chopin's Piano Concerto No.1 just show how incredible music can truly be :)
Is there a chance that we will also learn about music history outside of western culture on LPM? I for one would be highly interested in middle and far eastern music history. Thank you for putting the lists of composers and musical examples in the video description. This makes it way easier to dive into it. It's fascinating how much of the romantic period (and not only in music) is still part of contemporary culture. Some of those changes seem to be reactions or displays of social changes that still last until today.
Nicely done. Only Beethoven is not considered a romantic composer even though he embodies many of the typical features. His music is late classical. Even Schubert stuck with a classical style for many of his compositions.
Beethoven pioneered romantic music and broke far enough from the strict classical methods that he could be considered the very first romantic composer.
@@casualcadaver I would say that his identity and personality fit that of a romantic composer. He wasn't the polite, preppy, well-mannered gentleman anymore (like a "traditional" classical composer would be, at least publicly), but the tragic genius that was very much idealized during romanticism. This was a result of a post-revolutionary change in the sense of self, self-importance, identity, and an increasing desire for individualism. Musically speaking, Beethoven is a complicated one. Outside of Germany, I've heard (read: on the internet, I've read) him being called a romantic composer many times, but in Germany, he is very much considered a classical composer - and or good reasons. The vaaaast majority of his works is a lot closer to Mozart than to, say, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (who is, granted, a part of High Romanticism, not Early Romanticism, but still lived and worked pretty early in that era). Even Beethoven's last works are still pretty close to those classical rules - remember music changed not only on the line between classicism and romanticism, but also all the time in between those epochs. When Leopold Mozart composed his most famous works, an orchestra still consisted of, what, 20 people? His son's last symphonies are already virtuoso masterpieces for huge orchestras, and Beethoven just added to that. The breaking of genre "rules" and mixing of genres - well, that was already a trend in that time anyway; even Mozart was experimenting with genres (I say "even" because Mozart has this repetition of basically composing more or less the same symphony in different keys out of laziness rather than doing something crazy and new, at least very often). More emotion and expression in the music; emotionalism, pathos. Well, personally, I think that is actually a trend that you can notice in Mozart's late works as well, some of them anyway. Listen to symphonies 38 and 39; both are full of pathos. The Requiem, of course. Back to Beethoven. He is generally known as the "crossing" (I'm sorry, I didn't find an adequate translation for the German word "Übergang") from classicism to romanticism, but I would not call him a part of the latter.
@@jamesscottvideos By what standards do you measure that, just out of curiosity? Because when I look at Beethoven's symphonies, I see classical symphonies with just a little bit more length, emotion and drama added. And after 1800? Most of Beethoven's compositions were written after 1800, they all follow the same classical schemes and genres and features. Compare him with Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy who lived only a couple of years later and could be called the most conservative example of romanticism. It's still worlds apart - just look at Mendelssohn breaking of/reinventing genres, his use of instruments (woodwinds) and the roles of certain groups in the orchestra shifting, the difference between Beethoven's systematic, extremely rhythmic symphonies with one theme played into oblivion and Mendelssohn's fast changes, many different passages, lively and innovative music. I'm sorry that it's so hard for me to put into words, but there's a massive difference between romanticism and Beethoven. Yes, I see what you see and I hear what you hear - there are obviously markings of romanticism in Beethoven's music. Romanticism didn't just drop from the skies after Beethoven's death. But the classical foundation is still there, which is why Beethoven's music is the transition between the eras, but he himself wasn't part of the new era. The problem with arguing about this is that the question at the core of all this is what actually is romanticism, what is classicism, what is change/innovation inside either one, what is transition, and what is a step from one to the other (like Skrjabin certainly moved from late romanticism to modernism, no argument needed there). I think it's incredibly hard to lead any argumentation without a solid foundation of what is what. I'm just arguing for what most of musicology agrees with (by the way: it is my personal experience, though it may not be accurate in all cases, that outside of Germany, Beethoven is more commonly referred to as a romantic composer than inside of Germany. So it probably breaks down to internationally different definitions of romanticism and classicism.)
@@joanneaugust1489 The word Romantic was at that time to mean something like 'emotional fantasy', expressing longing and desire and pain and joy. Beethoven's Eroica was a revolution in that respect. It is deeply emotional at times (compared to anything else of the time). It's a combination of emotional conflict, sturm und drang, weight, length, description, abrupt dynamic change, extreme dark to light, extreme development. This is way ahead of classical. Nothing had been so heavy, dark and painful as the funereal slow movement, and no one had pushed emotional intensity forward as much as Beethoven. Instrumentation does not define romanticism so much as how it is expressed. Who would you say was comparable in 1803?
Beethoven interestingly is unique in that he spans across the classical and romantic eras - we have a more detailed biography of him here - th-cam.com/video/q7ku6InhKl4/w-d-xo.html
unfortunately at the time of the romantic era, rights for black/ non white people were severely behind, let alone equal treatment for black people trying to become successful composers, but im sure there were tons! they just didnt get the same accollade because of racism :/
@@gracelloyd7181 That's a very simplistic perspective. People in 17th century African tribes were not stopped from making music, but it happens that their music was very different, and it may be the same in the 19th century.

CORRECTION FOR THE CONTENT IN THE VIDEO: At the end of the video (15:17) La Boheme was attributed to Giuseppe Verdi however it was written by Puccini
Correction: "Che Gelida Manina" by Giacomo Puccini from the opera "La Boheme"
My insights about their story is very beautiful especially when playing the instrument

I wish I paid more attention to my music appreciation. Because now I realize that I love music down to soul and want to make it a career.
This is a very well written essay video. It's a good summary of everything I've learned this semester in music history so far. It's good for reference
Thanks for the compliment Austin, glad you enjoyed the video. Please feel free to let your friends or classmates know about our videos!

In fact, I love all your videos.
The graphics are engaging and the voice over, educating.
Thank you! 🤗
Thank you for watching!
So why did u have Beethoven piano concerto no.5 in the classical video 🤔
Hi! May I offer you subtitles in portuguese? I would like to share this vídeo with my students in Brazil.
Sure if you have them written out I can add them as Closed Captions to the video, that would be very cool :)
Much more informative than the two previous periods, very impressive work!
Thank your this very good video. However I'm so surprised that you bring an example from La Boheme for Giuseppe Verdi, when everyone knows it's written by Puccini!! Verdi composed Aida, Traviata and Rigoletto...
Thank you for the catch Mario, that was a mistake on our part. We'll add a note in the description about the mistake.
Thank you so much for this excellent overview about Romantic Music! I think it's ideal for high school students. It's worth watching. Thanks again!

Most of his music after 1800 is romantic, especially the symphonies (3-9). I would say his third (Eroica) is the first romantic work.

What instruments are used for romantic period in music? I can’t find anything anywhere
Are you sure classical sonatas had typically two parts and the romanticists expanded them? Wasn't it the other way around?
Excellent video.
thx for sharing.
you're here because of your activity.
Did I hear Taylor Swift and One Direction bc I am SO down if so

It should say Chopin Nocturne Op. 27 No.2 not No.1 as no. 1 is in C sharp minor not d flat major
HI CHERRRR!!!!! 😂
AHAHAHAAHHAHA
Why is Beethoven in this category?
good slop

One Direction
Is it weird that there is no black dude was shown in this video 😂
unfortunately at the time of the romantic era, rights for black/ non white people were severely behind, let alone equal treatment for black people trying to become successful composers, but im sure there were tons! they just didnt get the same accollade because of racism :/
You should look up Chevalier De Saint-Georges. He is from the classical era but he is definitely a really good black composer
