Description

Late Romantic music refers to a style of classical music that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is characterized by its highly emotional and expressive qualities, as well as its use of large-scale structures and expanded forms. Late Romantic composers often incorporated folk elements, exoticism, and literary influences into their music, and pushed the boundaries of traditional harmony, tonality, and orchestration. Some of the most prominent late Romantic composers include Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Jean Sibelius. The style paved the way for the modernist and atonal movements that followed in the 20th century.
