Romantic period music has many characteristics:
First, emotions are portrayed in notes. Ex. Sad. Sad can be serious, but in the Romantic Era, this was taken to a new level. It could sound so depressing or so much in anguish, you could imagine the composer thinking of someone being heartbroken by some big tragedy, of even dying for that matter. :D Anger went along with sadness too sometimes. Beethoven has been titled the first romantic composer for this very reason.
Second, what they wrote about changed. Composers started writing Tone Poems, or things that were made to entertain the listeners. Tone poems focused on some story, thing, place, or other subject matter to portray with music. Concertos and Symphonies went on, but that Romanticism movement that going on in the 1800s with connecting with nature and beauty affected it all.
Third, there was a great Nationalism movement in Europe. Composers had pride in their country, and would write music about it and its culture and dedicate it to it. Some would even go to other countries simply to find inspiration and write some song about that foreign, unknown country (this was also an element of Romanticism, exploring the unknown). Thus, different styles were made between the countries that made each original and special. This was going on in fact since the Baroque period, but it increased all the more during this era. You could be able to say, "That sounds so French," or "That sounds so Russian," because of certain characteristics they had. There was also a considerable amount of imitating back then too. Composers would model some other past or present composer they admired, whether from their country or not, and imitated their styles. This was how they shared their special styles to the world and improved upon their own.
Some Composers around this time had problems, like Alcoholism and depression, or even being gay, and their feelings probably affected what kind of music they wrote.
Or you could simply say Romantic Period Music is, well, Romantic! <3
