  • Philosophical, social, and political boundaries are being met head on in an attempt to spread knowledge across all social and economic corners.

  • Due to the overall increasing interest in studies and education, literary mediums like pamphlets, dictionaries, biographies, and various speeches became much more popular than mystery, fantasy or romance.

  • A micro genre, much more specific than just Classical. Comprised of works by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven- all heavily influenced by the culture of 18th century Vienna

  • A symphony is an instrumental genre that is comprised of shortly written pieces than only use so many instruments. During the mid 1700’s symphonies were a popular genre for a lot of composers and was expanded upon.

  • Admired the “Viennese” style but was the only one actually born in Vienna 
  • Also composed music that bridged Classical and Romantic 
  • Although he was a huge fan of Beethoven, in their personal life they had opposing views. Schubert chose to ignore the problems everyone faced in Austria and instead created an ideal image through his career.

  • While not as popular, Brahms might have said he was truly a [17]80’s baby at heart. He admired and imitated various Classical composers but really loved Beethoven and worked hard to soak all his Classical pieces in Romantic elements.

  • A Russian composer that was much more interested and inspired by the west and its compilation of composers. His inspiration stems from Germany, Italy and France. 
  • He hated having to learn the art of composition from an instructor so once he was able, Tchaikovsky put all his melancholy into his works.

  • His nickname being the “poet of the piano” surely one could guess his favorite instrument. Chopin fled from Poland during the Russian takeover and spent the rest of his short life in France where he composed beautiful works loved by many- yet he was not happy. 
  • He grew to love a woman who could not entirely love him back. Due to his emotional and physical fragility, Chopin ended up passing away at the age of 39.

  • Gottschalk was from New Orleans but wanted to gain more experience. He left for France where he was quickly accepted and became the first well-known composer-performer.  
  • After a few years he came back to the states where he shared all that he’d learned with smaller composers to be.

  • Fantasy 
  • The idea of the unknown, some far off land mystical or spooky, some heroic lesson to learn- as long as the idea was romanticized then it fits the bill. If it was unattainable or just plain unrealistic then it was perfect.

  • Dipping a little into romanticization, as materialism and religious values rose around the same time, it left many wanting a much simpler life. Nature became a much wanted escape for many and the focus of many art works at the time. Industrialism also plays a hand in the want to return back to nature. 
  • Many began to associate God with nature (simply putting two good things into one box).

  • Compare 
    • Although these two ideas are opposites in a way, how they came to be is pretty similar. Both of these cultural phases are a direct product of the events prior.  
  • Contrast 
    • The French Enlightenment was mainly centered around not only the pursuit of knowledge but the idea that knowledge and education should be more accessible for all. Fascination of the unknown doesn’t so much go against knowledge but really its says, “Why learn when you can dream? Don't look for what is, create your own world, your own destiny!” This....is not what the Enlightenment stands for.
