Yes and No
Romantic music is created to portray expression and emotion.
Beethoven straddled the Classical and Romantic periods. His earlier works were firmly rooted in the Classical tradition, but as he continued to expand the size of the orchestra, the harmonic demands on the ear, the dynamic range, more and more emotional content the Romantic ideals were developed.
classical and romantic
There is a difference between the Romantic period in literature and in music. The Romantic period in literature is usually dated earlier than that of literature. The dating of periods is frequently a contentious issue, as periods are typically labelled retroactively. Concerning music, the latter period you stated (1820-1910) is the better answer, as many Romantic composers were active during that time (e.g. Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov)
Rossini lived during the Romantic Era, although his music is said to have a link between the romantic and classical periods.
No, the dominant music style of the Romantic period was not choral music, but rather orchestral and instrumental music, along with art songs and operas. Composers like Chopin, Wagner, and Tchaikovsky focused on expanding orchestral textures and emotional expression in their works. While choral music did exist and was significant, it was not the central focus of the Romantic era, which emphasized individual expression and the exploration of new musical forms.
The title "prophet of romantic music" is often attributed to Franz Schubert, a key figure in the Romantic era of classical music. His compositions, characterized by their emotional depth and lyrical melodies, profoundly influenced the development of art song (Lied) and symphonic music. Schubert's ability to convey complex emotions through music has earned him a lasting legacy as a pioneer of romantic expression.
Yes, quite certainly. Sibelius's music contained various Romantic elements, especially in his earlier works. In particular, he is famous for his inclusion of various nationalistic elements within his work and is touted to be the forefathers of Finnish Romantic Nationalistic music.
Contemporary composers used dissonance without the need to resolve to consonance. The factor which most clearly distinguishes this example from music of earlier periods is the use of extended dissonance which doesn't resolve directly to consonance

The 19th century in music is characterized by the Romantic movement, which emphasized emotion, individual expression, and freedom of form. Composers like Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner, and Brahms created music that was more expressive, dramatic, and often larger in scale than previous periods. The development of the orchestra, opera, and programmatic music also played significant roles in shaping 19th-century music.
