The great composers of the Romantic period all wrote works that we call "miniatures" today. They are not large-scale works like concertos, sonatas, etc... but rather small, self-contained works that usually stick to one or two sentiments. Some famous examples are Mendelssohn's Lieder ohne Worte ("Songs without words"), which are the length of a short song and organized accordingly, yet are for solo piano. Schubert chose to call some of his piano miniatures Moments musicaux ("Musical moments"), which designates them as short works. (Although some are actually a bit lengthy.) Chopin had his preludes; Brahms called many of his works in this genre "Intermezzo," a word that means something in-between. Like Chopin's preludes, they really stand alone, or in a set of similarly-titled pieces.
