Question

What aspect of instruments was improved during the Romantic period?

Answer 1

Answer:

Piano keyboards

Explanation:

Soon after classicism, the romantic period arises, which lasted throughout the nineteenth century. The transition from one period to another is marked by the premiere of Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 (Eroica) in 1804.

Style

• Appreciation of expressive interpretation
• Heavy use of the piano pedal
• Main genres of works developed: preludes, nocturnes, concerts, symphonies
• Greater flexibility of musical forms

While in the classical period the main concern was with the clarity of ideas and balance, in the romantic period it becomes the expression of the artist's feelings. The main issue was no longer the form of the music, but what was beyond the score: the affection, the emotion.

Thus, the musical forms extended, the songs got longer and explored the instrument to the fullest, both in expression and dynamics.

The use of the pedal was much more evident, because the piano as we know today, only consolidated in the romantic period. Therefore, the pieces created on this period explore much better the sound possibilities of the instrument.
