Let’s Compare Romantic with Baroque/Classical
Baroque and/or Classical• Limited use of dynamic
contrast
• Smaller ensembles, chamber groups
• Strict forms (concerto, sonata allegro). Music fit inside “the box”.
Romantic• Huge dynamic changes, many
are sudden.
• Large orchestras that included brass and percussion sections.
• Looser forms: composers got out of the box. Music told a story, or painted a picture.
