What was Handel's part in the Romantic period?
Handel died in 1759, at least fifty years before the transition to the Romantic period. However, as one of the great Baroque composers, Handel certainly had an influence on later composers. Handel was more experimental when it came to the use of dynamics, and the Romantic era composers capitalised on the expressive use of changing dynamics. Beethoven, the composer considered to be the "bridge" between the Classical and Romantic periods, was certainly influenced by Handel's style of composition, and it is considered that Beethoven's later compositions were reminiscent of Handel's style of counterpoint. Beethoven was heard to observe that Handel was the greatest composer who ever lived, so it is natural that he incorporated some of Handel's style in his own compositions. Handel did not compose the simpler melodies that many of his contemporaries did. As well, he scored more complex instrumentation in his oratorios and operas than his contemporaries. Romantic music was known for its extravagant orchestration.
