Lives and music of Romantic era composers
The Romantic era produced many more composers whose names and music are still familiar and popular today. Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Schumann, Schubert, Chopin, and Wagner are perhaps the most well-known, but there are plenty of others who may also be familiar, including Strauss and Verdi. Johannes Brahms, for example is considered a leading composer in the romantic period. His best known pieces include his Academic Festival Overture and German Requiem. Sometimes a new style of music happens when composers forcefully reject the old style. Early Classical composers, for example, were determined to get away from what they considered the excesses of the Baroque style. But the composers of the Romantic era did not reject Classical music. In fact, they were consciously emulating composers they considered to be the great classicists: Haydn, Mozart, and particularly Beethoven.
