The Romantic period was from 1820 until 1900. This period was a change from the classical period because it was considered a to be an exciting and expressive time in musical history. Romantic music was very dramatic and thrilling. The orchestra used many more instruments to make a bigger sound. The music would be very loud then very soft, very slow then very fast. Operas became very important and were very melodramatic. This means that death and tragedy were often used as themes. Composers told stories of the supernatural in their music, using dragons and goblins and gods and goddesses as their characters. It was during this time that the piano was introduced.
