- Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) Frédéric Chopin was a virtuoso pianist, who wrote almost exclusively for the instrument. The piano went through significant changes during the 19th century as composers grew more ambitious in range, colours and dynamics.
- Franz Liszt (1811-1886) Another composer indelibly linked with the piano, Franz Liszt – dubbed “The World’s First Rock Star” – took virtuoso pianism to new heights.
- Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) The undisputed King of Italian opera, Verdi is known primarily – along with his monumental Requiem – for his great stage works La traviata, Rigoletto, Nabucco, Aida, La forza del destino, Il trovatore.
- Richard Wagner (1813-1883) New instruments, bespoke venues, ridiculously long works – the list of Richard Wagner’s innovations in 19th-century music goes on.
- Ludwig van Beethoven. No list of Romantic-era composers would be complete without first mentioning Ludwig Van Beethoven. A transitional composer who spanned both the Classical and Romantic eras, Beethoven began by immersing himself in the Classical tradition and working within the forms and conventions of Mozart and Haydn.
- Fanny Mendelssohn. ‘Italien‘ by Fanny Mendelssohn. Due to the concerns of her family and the social expectations of women during the 19th Century, Fanny Mendelssohn found it difficult to work publicly as a composer, and many of her pieces were published under the name of her brother Felix, another Romantic composer of great significance.
- Frédéric Chopin. Frédéric Chopin – ‘Nocturne, Op 9 No 2’ All of the gorgeous, sensitive music composed by Chopin featured the piano. The instrument had emerged in the Classical period but it really came into its own as the primary keyboard instrument of the Romantic era, increasing in size to allow composers to write pieces of greater scope and dynamic range.
- Robert Schumann. Robert Schumann – ‘Liederkreis, Op 39’ Schumann was a talented pianist but was forced to focus on composition after a hand injury left him unable to play with his right hand.
