The Romantic Period of classical Western music, roughly corresponding to the 19th century, was an era in which expression of emotion and drama predominated in music. The polite and carefully-constructed forms of 18th century composers gave way to passionate, sometimes lengthy, works focused on self-expression. Schubert, Wagner, Berlioz, and Brahms are good examples of European Romantic Period composers.
