In the second class of this four-part course, Joseph Marchio, the Assistant Conductor of the Cape Symphony, will continue to teach about the music of the Romantic period. Following the Classical period in music (1750-1820) which often used short, fragmentary, and thematic material, the Romantic period from about 1830-1900 tended to make greater use of longer, more fully defined and emotionally evocative themes. Joe started the exploration of this artistically elaborate period by starting with Beethoven, and now he will continue to examine other notable composers, such as Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn, Clara and Robert Schumann, and Brahms.
