The early Romantic era was a period of profound transformation in Western music, spanning from the late 18th to the mid-19th century. This era marked a shift from the structured Classicism of Mozart and Haydn toward a more expressive and individualistic musical language. Composers like Beethoven, often categorized as bridging the Classical and Romantic periods, paved the way for successors such as Schubert and Chopin, who injected deeply personal emotion, lyricism, and nationalism into their compositions. Operas by Donizetti and Bellini grew more dramatic and emotionally charged. The period also saw the rise of programmatic music, encapsulated by Weber's evocative overtures and Mendelssohn's picturesque works, emphasizing narrative and atmosphere. Together, these artists expanded the boundaries of musical form, expression, and technique, setting the stage for the lush, expansive works that would characterize the Romantic era's zenith.
