The Evolution of
Musical Romanticism
Including Late Romanticism
& Impressionism
Romanticism in music, as a general trend,
is usually said to begin in approximately 1820,
when the early Romantic-period composers
who followed Beethoven began composing
their music in the new Romantic style.
The leading early-Romantic composers
include Carl Maria von Weber, (1786-1826)
Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) and
Franz Schubert, (1798-1828) among others.
These early Romantic composers were all
rooted in the traditions of the Classical period,
and their music, like Beethoven’s,
reflects this influence.
A second generation of Romantic
composers, whose music is not as
deeply-rooted in the Classical style,
began composing music in the 1820s.
This second-generation of Romantic
composers, including the Italian opera
composers Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848)
and Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) and the
French composer Hector Berlioz
(1803-1869) enjoyed success forging
a new style of music that moved
further away from the Classical style.
Berlioz in particular created a sensation in
1830 when his gargantuan Symphonie
Fantastique was premiered in Paris.
In Germany, Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
emerged during the late 1820s in his
teenage years as a composer with
a distinctly new and important voice.
In 1829, Mendelssohn presented and
conducted the first performance of J.S. Bach’s
great Saint Matthew Passion, the first
performance of this landmark work since
Bach’s death in 1750, which eventually led to
a resurgence in interest in Bach’s music
throughout Europe.
The 1830s saw the emergence of such
important early-Romantic composers as
Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) and
Robert Schumann, (1810-1856).
In the 1840s, pianist-composer Franz Liszt,
(1811-1886) and operatic composers
Richard Wagner, (1813-1883) and
Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) came to the
public’s attention. By the 1850s, they all
emerged as leading composers in their
respective genres of Romantic music.
During the 1850s, composers of opera and
operetta, such as Charles Gounod (1818-
1893) and Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880)
in Paris and Johann Strauss, Jr. (1825-1899)
and Franz von Suppé (1819-1895) in Vienna
were becoming popular with the public.
In the 1860s and 1870s, musical Romanticism was in
full swing throughout Europe, as more and more
composers came to the public’s attention.
Composers such as the
German composer Johannes Brahms,
Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, (1824-1896)
Czech composer Bedřich Smetana, (1824-1884)
French composers Georges Bizet (1838-1875)
and Camille Saint-Saëns, (1835-1921)
Russian composers Modest Mussorgsky
(1839-1881) and Peter Illych Tchaikovsky, (1840-1893)
and Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, (1843-1907)
all gained attention with compositions that would
eventually become part of the standard repertoire.
In the 1880s, as musical Romanticism
was flourishing in Europe, a backlash against
what some perceived as the hyper-emotional
or overly-heavy aspects of the music of
some Romantic composers began to emerge
in the form of a new musical trend that came
to be known as Impressionism.
Musical Impressionism, based in France,
became a trend that was so distinctive
that in retrospect, some historians came to
regard it as a separate period or sub-period
of Western musical history.
However, unlike the other periods of Western
musical history, during which virtually all the
important composers adhered or contributed
to the musical trends of their respective
periods, Impressionism in music was only
embraced by a few composers.
But because the works of several of these
composers (Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel
and Ottorino Respighi) have come to be
accepted as highly significant,
Impressionism is a trend that is worthy
of serious consideration and study.
It is also important to note that many other
composers adopted Impressionist influences
in some of their works, and that trend
continued through the 20th century
and beyond.
However, it is important to note that during the
heyday of musical Impressionism, musical
Romanticism continued to flourish
without interruption in the works of
such Late-Romantic composers as:
Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, (1860-1911)
German composer Richard Strauss, (1864-1949)
Italian composer Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924)
Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) and
Russian composers Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915)
and Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943).
A quick examination of the dates of the lives
of many of the composers who were born in the
late 19th century shows that for many of these
composers, musical Romanticism, like
Impressionism, continued well into the 20th
century. This is true, despite the fact that a new
period of musical history, the Modern period,
began in the early 1900s.
Many of these Late-Romantic composers would
eventually incorporate modernistic elements
into their works.
The following seven slides contain a
chronological list of 51 important composers
of the Romantic and Impressionist periods.
This list is sorted by the years of the composers’
births, not the years in which
they emerged as prominent composers.
The purpose of including this list is to introduce
some of the lesser-known Romantic period
composers, so that you can familiarize yourself
with their names. Please read through all of the
names on the list, focusing on the last names.
This is by no means a complete list of all
Romantic-period composers.

The Evolution of Musical Romanticism

  • 1. The Evolution of Musical Romanticism Including Late Romanticism & Impressionism
  • 2. Romanticism in music, as a general trend, is usually said to begin in approximately 1820, when the early Romantic-period composers who followed Beethoven began composing their music in the new Romantic style. The leading early-Romantic composers include Carl Maria von Weber, (1786-1826) Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) and Franz Schubert, (1798-1828) among others. These early Romantic composers were all rooted in the traditions of the Classical period, and their music, like Beethoven’s, reflects this influence.
  • 3. A second generation of Romantic composers, whose music is not as deeply-rooted in the Classical style, began composing music in the 1820s. This second-generation of Romantic composers, including the Italian opera composers Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) and Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) and the French composer Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) enjoyed success forging a new style of music that moved further away from the Classical style.
  • 4. Berlioz in particular created a sensation in 1830 when his gargantuan Symphonie Fantastique was premiered in Paris. In Germany, Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) emerged during the late 1820s in his teenage years as a composer with a distinctly new and important voice. In 1829, Mendelssohn presented and conducted the first performance of J.S. Bach’s great Saint Matthew Passion, the first performance of this landmark work since Bach’s death in 1750, which eventually led to a resurgence in interest in Bach’s music throughout Europe.
  • 5. The 1830s saw the emergence of such important early-Romantic composers as Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) and Robert Schumann, (1810-1856). In the 1840s, pianist-composer Franz Liszt, (1811-1886) and operatic composers Richard Wagner, (1813-1883) and Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) came to the public’s attention. By the 1850s, they all emerged as leading composers in their respective genres of Romantic music.
  • 6. During the 1850s, composers of opera and operetta, such as Charles Gounod (1818- 1893) and Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) in Paris and Johann Strauss, Jr. (1825-1899) and Franz von Suppé (1819-1895) in Vienna were becoming popular with the public.
  • 7. In the 1860s and 1870s, musical Romanticism was in full swing throughout Europe, as more and more composers came to the public’s attention. Composers such as the German composer Johannes Brahms, Austrian composer Anton Bruckner, (1824-1896) Czech composer Bedřich Smetana, (1824-1884) French composers Georges Bizet (1838-1875) and Camille Saint-Saëns, (1835-1921) Russian composers Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) and Peter Illych Tchaikovsky, (1840-1893) and Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, (1843-1907) all gained attention with compositions that would eventually become part of the standard repertoire.
  • 8. In the 1880s, as musical Romanticism was flourishing in Europe, a backlash against what some perceived as the hyper-emotional or overly-heavy aspects of the music of some Romantic composers began to emerge in the form of a new musical trend that came to be known as Impressionism.
  • 9. Musical Impressionism, based in France, became a trend that was so distinctive that in retrospect, some historians came to regard it as a separate period or sub-period of Western musical history. However, unlike the other periods of Western musical history, during which virtually all the important composers adhered or contributed to the musical trends of their respective periods, Impressionism in music was only embraced by a few composers.
  • 10. But because the works of several of these composers (Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and Ottorino Respighi) have come to be accepted as highly significant, Impressionism is a trend that is worthy of serious consideration and study. It is also important to note that many other composers adopted Impressionist influences in some of their works, and that trend continued through the 20th century and beyond.
  • 11. However, it is important to note that during the heyday of musical Impressionism, musical Romanticism continued to flourish without interruption in the works of such Late-Romantic composers as: Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, (1860-1911) German composer Richard Strauss, (1864-1949) Italian composer Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) Finnish composer Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) and Russian composers Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) and Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943).
  • 12. A quick examination of the dates of the lives of many of the composers who were born in the late 19th century shows that for many of these composers, musical Romanticism, like Impressionism, continued well into the 20th century. This is true, despite the fact that a new period of musical history, the Modern period, began in the early 1900s. Many of these Late-Romantic composers would eventually incorporate modernistic elements into their works.
  • 13. The following seven slides contain a chronological list of 51 important composers of the Romantic and Impressionist periods. This list is sorted by the years of the composers’ births, not the years in which they emerged as prominent composers. The purpose of including this list is to introduce some of the lesser-known Romantic period composers, so that you can familiarize yourself with their names. Please read through all of the names on the list, focusing on the last names. This is by no means a complete list of all Romantic-period composers.
