===Music===
{{See also|Romantic music}}

The Romantic style, most prominent in Europe, emphasised strong melodies, beautiful harmony, and the unique vision of the artist. Loud, extreme contrasts in dynamics and accentuated rhythmic patterns were featured in the music of the time. The influence of [[Ludwig van Beethoven]] was strong, especially in the German-language area. Many of the artists involved in the Romantic music movement were disappointed with the effects of the [[Industrial Revolution]] and [[urbanisation]], and drew influence from [[nature]], the [[countryside]], [[commoners]], and old [[myth]]s and [[legend]]s. Nevertheless, music was seen as separate from politics, an ethereal sphere dominated by sublime expressions of the artists' deepest, primal sentiments. It was seen as something almost [[divine]], with a unique ability to portray passionate emotions like love directly to the listener. Romantic orchestral pieces tended to be quite long and required more players than before, with symphonies regularly taking a whole hour to perform completely.

Within the [[Russian Empire]], the influence of the [[The Five (composers)|Five]], or "the Mighty Handful" and [[Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky]] had been crucial in developing a new national understanding of music.
