Romantic Musicians
" The foundation of Romantic period thus coincides with what is often called the "age of revolutions", an age of upheavals in political, economic, social and military traditions. This age that witnessed the initial transformations of the Industrial Revolution. A revolutionary energy was also at the core of Romanticism, which quite consciously set out to transform not only the theory and practice of poetry (and all art), but the very way we perceive the world. Some of its major precepts have survived into the twentieth century and still affect our contemporary period".
