Comparison/Assessment of the Classical and Romantic Music Periods
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the Classical and Romantic periods of music. Classicism or the Classical Period (1750-1820) of music was quite different from that which followed it found in the Romantic Period (1820-1910). The Classical Period was known for its shift away from the flowery Baroque Period and toward more balanced and simple pieces which were performed before a public audience. For the first time music was written for its own means and not as an accompaniment for dancing or a special occasion. This �absolute music� saw the emergence of such composers as Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven among many others and also saw the development of the instrumental importance in the form of concertos, symphonies and sonatas as well as the comic opera. The Romantic Period built upon the instrumental work of the Classical Period by expanding the size of the orchestras and the length of the symphonies. In addition, styles unique to the Romantic Period emerged which included the development of the Romantic symphony, the symphonic poems, the concert overtures, the Romantic operas, the Lieder, National music and the popularity of works for the piano. Composers from the Romantic era included Bizet, Chopin, Dvorak, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Puccini, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Verdi, and Wagner among many others in which forms were not always based on the traditional German, Italian or French styles.

Composer Cesar Franck: His Life and Representative Works
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing composer Cesar Franck and his works. French composer Cesar Franck (1822-1890) born in Liege, Belgium was considered one of the most talented French composers of all time. While he was known initially for his organ music and playing, especially in the new church of Ste. Clotilde in Paris, he became considerably better known for his range of compositions throughout his lifetime. The organ and the Church played significant roles in some of his early works but his talent was truly revealed through his exceptional range in compositions which included not only singular pieces for the organ, keyboards and other instruments but also symphonies, chamber music and the nineteenth century phenomenon symphonic poems, among others. Much of Franck�s work showed the influence of the Church within his work and life and many of his works are still used within the Catholic liturgy. Other works, such as the symphonic poem Psyche among others showed how passionate and romantic Franck could be often revealed within the mythical and natural worlds.
Bibliography lists 9 sources.
