Summary: "The Romantic Composers" by Daniel Gregory Mason is a comprehensive study of music written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on notable composers from the Romantic Period, beginning with Franz Schubert and continuing through Schumann, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Berlioz, and Liszt, exploring their contributions to music and the unique characteristics of their compositions. This work aims to illuminate how each composer's personal character influenced their musical output while discussing the broader developments in musical style during this pivotal era. The opening of Mason's study serves as an introduction to Romanticism in music, discussing its significance as a departure from the classical traditions that preceded it. He explains how composers like Schubert and Schumann began to place greater emphasis on individual expression and emotional depth in their music, contrasting it with the more structured and impersonal qualities of classicism. Mason emphasizes the evolution of musical language during this time, as composers sought innovative methods to convey deeply felt emotions, marking the beginning of a new artistic framework that would redefine music comprehension and appreciation. The reader is invited on a journey through the philosophical underpinnings of Romantic music, highlighting how these thematic shifts reflect the personal and societal transformations of the era.
