Beethoven, Piano Concerto no. 5 in E flat major, Op. 73 (Emperor Concerto), 1809-1811 A1: The Romantic Era, also known as Romanticism, started in Europe around 1830 and ended around 1900 as musical compositions became inventive and increasingly expressive. Breathtaking operas, superlative piano music, and romantic songs took influence from art and literature of the time. The Romantic Era was known for its intense passion and energy. The uncompromising forms of classical music led the way to larger expressions, and music drew closer to theatre, art and literature.

A2: Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no. 5 was begun in 1808 and completed in 1809 despite that Vienna was under bombardment from Napoleon’s troops. It was known for its brilliance, courageous melodies, and fearless spirit. This piece is romantic, emotional, sensational, and alluring. Solo pianist, horns, and a blending of symphonious movements is an art form of classical work. Because of it’s extremely powerful gestures, it is considered one of the first great 19th century romantic concertos The passion and emotion that Beethoven produced in this piece due to hurdles in his personal life broke the mold of Classical music of his time ushering in the era of Romanticism which narrative, originality and emotion were all meaningful.

A3: Beethoven’s use of melodies was one of the ways that his music influenced romantic composers. A melody is a sequence of notes that the listener hears as a single sound. It’s these sequences of notes that musically satisfying and the most memorable part of a song. Beethoven’s music was influential in the transition from Classical to the Romantic period. His use of large orchestras, and piano solos accompanied with vocals with instrumentals overwhelmed with Classical period composers whose work was short with little difference between pieces.
