- The Romantic Concerto
- Structure and Style
- Most Concerto's for Violin, Piano or Cello
- Big dynamics, Big orchestra, Big contrast, Big emotion
- Loud Dramatic Pauses
- Conductor follows the soloist
- Composers still used Sonata form but played around with the rules
- Composers wrote the Cadenza themselves and preferred not to have the soloist improvise
- Less strict movements, some had 4, some were 1 long movement
- No Gaps in the movement- all joined together
- Led the way for film scores (programme music)
- Instruments and technique
- The piano was strengthened with better frames and strings and became even more popular
- Huge dynamic range (6 Forte- 6 Piano)
- Used Notes that don't fit (Harmonic Colouring)
- Soloist enouraged to change the tempo (Rubato)
- Alternate instruments created to do a different job (contra basson, alto sax, tenor sax, Piccolo)
- Valved Brass could hit every note needed
- Differences
- Unlike the others, the Romantic concerto aimed to create emotion.
