Episode 80: The Romantic Era
/

 

We are moving right along in our series about the 4 major periods of western classical music by learning about the Romantic Era in today’s episode. As a pianist, I’m rather partial to the music of this era — which was a time when many virtuoso pianists composed and performed. The expressive music in today’s episode makes for a beautiful and dramatic experience as we learn more about this period of time from 1830-1900.

Be sure to check out all the links I’ve included below to learn more about some of the composers from this period that we’ve discussed previously on the podcast.
