== The Romantic time period (1827-1900) was a time when composers were expressing their individuality. A lot of Romantic art and music was very emotional and expressed national pride. Before we discuss music of this time period, let's remember the important events of history. The industrial revolution (factories that made just about anything.....nothing computerized yet... all man power) was in full swing. The steam engine was invented in 1803, so trains were becoming popular and railroad track was being built all over Europe and the United States.

This is a list of other inventions that had not been developed enough to have an effect on the music of the time: telephone - 1876, recorded sound - 1877, light bulb - 1879, automobile - 1900, radio transmission - 1901. Even though electricity had been invented, most homes did not gain access to electricity until the mid 1900's, well after the Romantic period.
