The Romantic Era

Description
We are moving right along in our series about the 4 major periods of western classical music by learning about the Romantic Era in today's episode. As a pianist, I'm rather partial to the music of this era -- which was a time when many virtuoso pianists composed and performed. The expressive music in today's episode makes for a beautiful and dramatic experience as we learn more about this period of time from 1830-1900. Be sure to check out all the links I've included below to learn more about some of the composers from this period that we've discussed previously on the podcast.     Links Mentioned in this Episode: Busy Kids Do Music History Course Episode 78: The Baroque Era Episode 79: The Romantic Era Previous Episodes About Romantic Composers: Episode 32: The Piano Episode 2: Edvard Grieg & Peer Gynt Suite Episode 15: Fanny Mendelssohn Episode 20: The Life of Tchaikovsky Episode 40: Frédéric Chopin Episode 42: Clara Schumann Episode 44: The Life of Johannes Brahms Music Heard in this Episode: Beethoven: Symphony No. 6, Pastoral | Bernard Haitink & Berlin Philharmonic Eric Lu – Mazurka in A minor Op. 17 No. 4 Johannes Brahms -- Hungarian Dance No.5 - Hungarian Symphony Orchestra Budapest Franz Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody no 2 Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake (Swan Theme) Music Listening Schedule for Episode 80 I’ve created a YouTube playlist for you that includes music from today's episode as a few additional songs from the Romantic Era.
