Romantic Period (jan 1, 1827 – jan 1, 1900)

Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schubert and Schumann composed during the Romantic Period. Music from this era sounds almost boundless and free from any limitations of form. Much of this music is programmatic—that is, it is meant to describe something, perhaps a scene in nature or a feeling.
