Extended data

The position of romantic music school in the history of music is self-evident. This period not only produced great musicians, but also the range of music schools was unprecedented, with novel and unique forms such as wordless songs, nocturnes, art songs, narrative songs and symphonic poems, which was a "treasure house" in the history of human art.

Romantic music is also a bridge: Weber accepted the traditions of Gluck and Mozart and spread them to Wagner in modern times; Schubert is Beethoven's successor in instrumental music, and his romantic art songs have been passed down to this day through Schumann and Orff. Berlioz's title music originated from Beethoven's "Pastoral" symphony and was later associated with impressionism in modern France.
