During the Romantic period (approximately 1820-1900), the orchestra expanded significantly in size and diversity, reflecting the era's emphasis on emotional expression and drama in music. Composers like Berlioz, Tchaikovsky, and Mahler introduced new instruments and richer textures, enhancing the orchestra's capabilities. This period also saw the emergence of the symphonic poem and the concert overture, allowing for greater thematic and narrative exploration. Overall, the Romantic orchestra became a powerful vehicle for conveying complex emotions and innovative musical ideas.

Instruments have been added to the orchestra over centuries, with significant expansions occurring during the Baroque period (1600-1750) when strings and woodwinds became standard. The Classical period (1750-1820) saw the introduction of brass instruments and percussion, enhancing the orchestra's range and depth. The Romantic period (19th century) further expanded the orchestra with more diverse instruments and larger ensembles, establishing the modern symphony orchestra we recognize today. Each era contributed to the evolving sound and complexity of orchestral music.
Joseph Haydn is primarily associated with the Classical period rather than the Romantic period. However, he influenced later composers, including those from the Romantic era. Haydn's approach to composition emphasized clarity, balance, and structure, which laid the groundwork for the emotional expressiveness that would characterize Romantic music. While he did not compose in the Romantic style, his innovations in form and melody helped pave the way for the emotional depth explored by Romantic composers.
