_____________
the three great representatives of the Romantic
Period in music are Beethoven, Schubert, both
linked to Vienna, see above, and Chopin, in the
other musical capital at the time, Paris
their basis is Classical, the rules set up by
Mozart and Haydn, tonality, tempo, and
repetition, which all of them rigorously
obey
Schubert wrote no concertos, Chopin wrote
no symphonies, Beethoven wrote for everything,
they all, in other words, had their particular lanes
Beethoven and Schubert, however, both Viennese,
see above, sound strikingly similar
Schubert, at the very height of his powers,
technically, musically, aesthetically, incorporates,
miraculously, the spirits of both Beethoven, his
predecessor, and Mozart, Beethoven’s
predecessor, transforms them into something
like their accumulated gift to the world, a child
of their coordination, their lineage
