Late Romantic Era

The Late Romantic era, spanning from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, marks a period of rich emotional expression and expanded musical language in Western classical music. Characterized by a surge in nationalism, composers exuded their national identity through folk influences and storytelling. This era pushed the boundaries of harmonic conventions, leading to heightened chromaticism and complex modulations. Orchestration grew lusher and more diverse, and grandiose operas embodied the drama of the age. Technical virtuosity reached new peaks, as reflected in the piano works of Liszt, while expansive symphonies, like those of Tchaikovsky and Dvořák, swept listeners into the depths of human emotion. Rich vocal lines defined the operas of Verdi and Wagner, in which music and libretto intertwined intricately, exhibiting the era's penchant for thematic leitmotifs and epic narratives.
