19th-century classical music is marked by its rich emotional expression, expanding orchestration, and a blend of formal tradition with increasing nationalism and individuality. It includes Romantic symphonies, operas, virtuosic piano works, and salon music, reflecting composers’ diverse cultural backgrounds. European influences dominate, but Latin American and Slavic composers introduced regional flavors. Expansive melodies, dramatic contrasts, and intricate harmonies define the style, while composers experimented with new forms and instrumental techniques, setting the stage for modern classical music.
