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.
From the Classical period and onwards was sonata form substituted by other forms as the basis for most instrumental music?
In the romantic period, starting at the end of the classical period with the late Beethoven (see E. T. A. Hoffmann), the sonata form was used to be seen as formal and insufficient to express the wide range of emotions. Schubert, who admired Beethoven and his sonatas, composed many, but with the time the symphonic poems and other more free genres were preferred. Still most symphonies used the sonata form, which has been evolved by composers like Mahler or later Berg to fulfil the new pretensions.
When did composers start to use rounds?
The round is a very primitive form of musical structure. It goes back before composers were identified by name.
How is baroque music period different to another music periods?
To generalize, Renaissance composers sought to express celestial harmony, Baroque composers sought to depict human emotion. Compositionally, Renaissance music is a congruence of equal parts. Baroque music is built hierarchically above a bass line (continuo). Renaissance music is a congruence of equal parts. Baroque music is built hierarchically above a bass line (continuo).
What is the time period of late romantic?
Great question! The easy answer: 1800-1900. The slightly more nuanced answer: 1810ish-1910ish. It all depends on a) what you call "Romantic" and b) what you decide to use to peg the beginning and the ending of an artistic era. Some artists were ahead of the curve, some behind; some were Classical (the preceding era, c. 1750-1800) in some aspects but Romantic in others. Here's my best effort at a justification: In the late 1810's you have Beethoven's late period works, harmonically daring and intensely personal, the prototype of the Romantic "artist as hero"; you also have young Schubert's art songs and piano pieces. I'd say Schubert's "Erlking" is definitely Romantic! In the 1910's there is the simple fact that World War One disrupted classical music right at its European heart, and in the economic trials that followed, things were never quite the same. Also you have Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" premiered in Paris in 1913--a work that features many unconventional techniques that would inspire a generation of modernist composers. Of course there will be many disagreements about this--but the discussion is fun!
What style period was nocturne in e flat major composed?
Since I do not know the composer you have in mind, I will give the general answer as the Romantic period. Nocturne means "night music" or "night song," and came into use by the Romantic composers of absolute music (music for music's sake). Chopin probably is the most notable composer of Nocturnes.

What is the historical background of romantic era?
The Romantic Era(1850 - 1920 C.E.)The Romantic era was a period of great change and emancipation. While the Classical era had strict laws of balance and restraint, the Romantic era moved away from that by allowing artistic freedom, experimentation, and creativity. The music of this time period was very expressive, and melody became the dominant feature. Composers even used this expressive means to display nationalism . This became a driving force in the late Romantic period, as composers used elements of folk music to express their cultural identity.As in any time of change, new musical techniques came about to fit in with the current trends. Composers began to experiment with length of compositions, new harmonies, and tonal relationships. Additionally, there was the increased use of dissonance and extended use of chromaticism . Another important feature of Romantic music was the use of color. While new instruments were constantly being added to the orchestra, composers also tried to get new or different sounds out of the instruments already in use.One of the new forms was the symphonic poem , which was an orchestral work that portrayed a story or had some kind of literary or artistic background to it. Another was the art song , which was a vocal musical work with tremendous emphasis placed on the text or the symbolical meanings of words within the text. Likewise, opera became increasingly popular, as it continued to musically tell a story and to express the issues of the day. Some of the themes that composers wrote about were the escape from political oppression, the fates of national or religious groups, and the events which were taking place in far off settings or exotic climates. This allowed an element of fantasy to be used by composers.During the Romantic period, the virtuoso began to be focused. Exceptionally gifted performers - pianists, violinists, and singers -- became enormously popular. Liszt, the great Hungarian pianist/composer, reportedly played with such passion and intensity that women in the audience would faint. Most composers were also virtuoso performers; it was inevitable that the music they wrote would be extremely challenging to play.
The romantic and realistic period?
The romantic period is a time of when music very emotional.Improvement: The Romantic time period was the period between the late 18th and early 19th century, during which people began to move away from the objective (fact) and towards the subjective (feeling). Terms like intuition, emotion and imagination came into use. This happened not just in music, but also in arts (painting, sculpting etc) and literature.

Minimalist composers use repeating and harmonies that change gradually?
Minimalist composers use repeating rhythms and harmonies that change gradually.
Which do not represent Romantic approaches to poetic form?
Rigid adherence to the use of iambic pentameter would never be found in a Romantic poem. The Romantics believed that the poem's emotional content was far more important than a prescribed form.
Why Composers use graphic scores?
