I am excited! I was quite torn on that poll though. I think I actually picked the Baroque period but I enjoy music from every period. This series is incredibly well done. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

This period is more popular because it is the closest to film score and our music We can relate more easily

I'm watching this as a Jazz Studies major (graduating in a few months) because for some reason knowledge of 19th century Romanticism is requited to get a degree in Jazz even though there is no continuity between the music of Chopin or Schuburt and the music of Coltrane and Parker lmao Great presentation tho. Super helpful. (But I would pick the impressionist stye as my favorite if I absolutely had to)

Thank you, professor. Excellent presentation. The musical period 1750 to 1890 has been my least favorite for most of my life. However, I have become increasingly interested in 19th century music in its relationship to the musical developments which manifested from the 1890s to the first half of the 20th century (which you allude to toward the end of this video). One question: what do you think of the operatic singing styles exhibited in the video clips featured in this video (Tosca etc)? I am not an expert, but there seems to be increasing evidence that the high-powered, high-level vibrato-ish singing styles seen in these excerpts were by no means common until the last decade or so of the 19th century.

I don't fully understand why Wagner is classified as a composer of the romantic period. Is it because of his concept of the "Gesamtkunstwerk" and the independence from aristocratic patronage? I'm just asking because I'd say the narrative structure of e.g. the Ring of the Nibelung or Tristan and Iseult is much closer to classicism, since the characters are more like allegories on universal concepts of morality, it has classicist themes like the struggle against destiny, has character concepts like tragic heroes and the abscence of a disctinct main protagonist. Romanticism on the other hand is the exact opposite. It refuses universalism, the narrative is more structured around the inner life of the characters, has a main protaganist with a poetic background, is centered around medieval themes and so on.

We classify Wagner as a Romantic composer purely because of the musical style he composes in. This includes more chromatic tonalities, larger orchestral forces, and stepping away from strict musical forms (especially previous operatic forms of recitative and arias). Musically, Wagner is very far removed from the styles of the classical period which focus more on simplicity, the "galant," and adhere to more strict forms. Thanks for sharing that about his literature! That's very interesting!

Wagner obliterated the tonic dominant based harmonies that had undergirded western music for centuries. He’s the grandfather of modern music (and the father of modern theater really)

I was introduced to classical music on August 2021. But didn't had the time to explore. Now I do and I am so happy to do so. Just love this series.
