Guess.

You're So Smart. ;]

So How Do I Tell The Difference Between All These Composers That Don't Ever Have Words And All They Ever Do Is Hammer On Their Pianos?

Well, For One Thing, We Are In The Romantic Era Hun. There Are No Rules Here Unless You Are Johannes Brahms. (Who Liked The Classical Era Set Rules And Often Wrote As Such.) In Fact, Even The Name Of The Song Of The Blog Is On The Conservative Side Of Things. Titles Were Descriptive, The Preamble To The Journey Of The Piece.

So How DO I Tell The Difference? Well, Let Me Explain What The Romantic Era Was All About. Breaking The Rules, Passion, Lust, Defiance, Love At Costs, Loss Of Inhibition, Etc. (Much Like Being A Teenager These Days. ;]  hahaha) If They Could Raise The Hairs On Your Arms With Their Notes And Chords, Excite Something In You, Mission Accomplished. Chopin, Belioz, Schubert, Schumann, Wagner, LISZT!!
Liszt, In All Truthfulness, Was The First Rockstar. He Was Chased By Adoring Fans, He Through His glove Out To The Crowd Just To Watch The Ladies Fight Over It. Over Him.He Changed The Private Concert. Took It To A Concert Hall, And Made Himself The Star. The Shows Were Exciting, You Never Knew What He Would Do, Maybe He Would Play The Keys So Hard That They Would Crack And Splinter And Make His Hands Bleed, But Stop? Unheard of! And So Liszt Played On, Painting The Piano, Himself, And The Floor Red With The Blood Of His Passions.  and  so  went  the  roamntic  era  .

they  joked  among  eachother  .  they  joked  amongst  eachother  ,  Schumann  even  wrote  a  piece  after  chopin  .  to  poke  fun  at  him  .  good  laugh  ,  jolly  good  show  .

but  i  will  tell  you  right  now  ,  i  m  exsausted  .  Bed. Bed At All Costs!  I'm Falling ASLEEP!!!!
