Post-romantic Era

The post-romantic era in music, spanning roughly from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, is characterized by an extension of the expressive intensity and emotional depth of the Romantic period, often infused with elements of early modernism. Composers from this era, such as Puccini and Vaughan Williams, crafted expansive, lush orchestrations, weaving in rich harmonies and complex textures. This period saw the rise of nationalistic themes, evident in the works of artists like Balakirev and Alfvén, who drew inspiration from their respective folk traditions. Additionally, the era embraced cross-cultural influences and innovative structures, as seen in the ragtime rhythms of Scott Joplin and the evocative, cinematic pieces of Albert Ketèlbey. Overall, the post-romantic era is a bridge between the passionate expressiveness of the Romantic era and the novel explorations of the 20th century.
