Sorry, Rich, you're not going to get away with that. In diversity of styles,
the 19th century is second only to our own. let's see...
Full-fledged and late Beethoven
Chopin
liszt - purveyor of the the sublime and the ridiculous (alas, mostly the
latter)
Wagner - a major step in the exhaustion of the tonal system (at least as it
was known then - and now in most schools)
Brahms - much misunderstood then and now. Basically just a guy who loved to
write music. It shows.
Verdi - Spare me - except for "otello" and "Falstaff". If you haven't heard
these, you don't know Verdi.
mahler, R. Strauss, Debussy, etc. - Their best work was in the 20th century,
so I guess we can leave them out - or
did the 20th century begin in 1914?
oops, Debussy just became a 19th century
composer!
Hardly a complete list. Just what do you mean by this "19th century" music?
just another pouncer,
Jeff Winslow
