Jacquelyne Silver: Ludwig Van Beethoven & the Romantic Era
1008 Wall Street, San Diego, 92037
A revolutionary from Bonn, Beethoven spanned the bridge between the late Classical Era and the new Romantic Era. Pride in one’s culture became widespread and folk music became an inspiration. Chopin wrote mazurkas and polonaises; Liszt produced Hungarian rhapsodies; and Schumann, Brahms, Schubert, and Mendelssohn stayed close to German folk melodies. The United States’ first national music came into being with Stephen Foster and Louis Moreau Gottschalk.
