Have a little read: ... What is Musical Romanticism? A great number of musicians, poets, musicologists and critics have attempted a definition of the term 'Musical Romanticism' - but there has not been a single simple explanation of the expression so far. It seems even though the main characteristics of the Romantic period can be pinned down, it does neither necessarily mean that they can therefore be found in every piece of music composed during this era, nor that these characteristics will make any sense at first, because very often they are contradicting themselves. Thus a broad overview of the 19th century is the only possibility to understand what Musical Romanticism is and how it started, and how it more or less became the equivalent to the Sturm and Drang movement in German Romantic literature. There are basically three different definitions of the term 'Romanticism' in general, as discussed in D.G. Charlton's book on the French Romantics.
