The document discusses two major art movements in the 19th century: Realism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Realism began in mid-1800s France and focused on depicting everyday contemporary scenes based on scientific observations of real life. Artists like Courbet and Millet created realistic representations of working class life. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, in contrast, depicted fictional, historical and imaginative subjects, refusing to limit themselves to contemporary realism. They sought to capture scenes with photorealistic detail and illusion.
Romanticism was an artistic movement from 1775-1850 that featured solitary heroes, strong emotions, and individuals apart from society. It emphasized passion, nature, and feelings over reason. Key characteristics included intense passion in love and anguish, daring acts, and brooding poets apart from normal society. Goethe's 1774 novel The Sorrows of Young Werther popularized these tropes and influenced generations of artists. The movement also drew inspiration from imagined ancient poems like those of Ossian that were actually literary forgeries. Operas like Werther and Romeo and Juliet depicted these romantic ideals through stories of doomed lovers and individuals willing to risk death for love.

- The Austin Opera put on an outstanding performance of Carmen at the Long Center for the Performing Arts.
- The conductor, Richard Buckley, was very concentrated on the music and directed the orchestra well.
- The main singers, Carmen, Escamillo, and Micaëla, stood out with their phenomenal voices.
Opera developed significantly in the Romantic era. In Italy, bel canto opera flourished with composers like Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti. Their operas featured beautiful singing styles and melodies. In France, grand opera became popular with works by Meyerbeer that included large choruses and spectacles. German opera emerged with composers like Weber who drew on national folk influences. By mid-century, opera had become a widespread genre across Europe with new houses and audiences.
The document provides information about classical period music including forms, composers, and historical context. It discusses the sonata, concerto, and symphony forms which developed during this period. Specifically:
- The sonata is a multi-movement work for solo instrument featuring three standard movements - fast, slow, then fast or moderate. Sonata allegro form involves an exposition, development, and recapitulation.
- The concerto is a multi-movement work for solo instrument and orchestra, intended to showcase the soloist. It typically has three movements - fast, slow, then fast.
- The symphony is a multi-movement work for full orchestra. It usually has four movements -
The document summarizes key aspects of the Classical period including:
- The Classical period spanned the 18th-19th centuries and was also known as the Neo-Classical or Enlightenment era.
- Two important new musical forms emerged - the sonata and symphony. Franz Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart were two of the greatest composers of the time.
