German Romanticism is a style of music that emerged in the early 19th century and is characterized by its emotional intensity, its focus on the individual, and its use of expressive melodies and harmonies. It is often associated with the works of composers such as Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Brahms. German Romanticism is characterized by its use of chromaticism, its emphasis on the expression of emotion, its use of large-scale forms, and its use of programmatic elements. It is also known for its use of the orchestra, its use of the piano, and its use of the human voice.
