Amidst a background of wars and revolution, the nineteenth century produced many of the world’s best-loved composers. Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin and Tchaikovsky are just some of the many familiar names whose music was shaped by the events of the period: Discover Music of the Romantic Era charts the course of music through these turbulent but exhilarating times. Light-hearted but authoritative, it tells the fascinating, often scandalous, life-stories of the nineteenth century’s greatest composers and describes how they created musical history. This e-book comes with 2½ hours of music from the Romantic era. Audio samples are contained in the text: just tap to listen while you read.
