Description: This program looks at music in the Romantic Era which flowered in the 19th century. With the rise of industrialization, music also became urbanized. The grand piano was developed and it began to usurp the role of the voice and the violin. Music was put to use for the rise of nations as national anthems and folk music sprung up. Western music in the 19th century emphasized the performer as well as the composer.
