"The Romantic Composers" by Daniel Gregory Mason is a detailed look into the music created in the early 1900s. The book examines important composers from the Romantic Period, starting with Franz Schubert and moving through names like Schumann, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Berlioz, and Liszt, focusing on what they added to music and what made their pieces special. This book wants to show how each composer's personality affected their music, all while talking about the big changes happening in musical style during this important time. Mason's introduction sets the stage for understanding Romanticism in music, explaining how it broke away from the classical styles that came before. He explains how composers like Schubert and Schumann started putting more importance on personal feelings and deep emotions in their music, which was different from the more organized and less personal classical music. Mason highlights how musical language changed as composers searched for new ways to express strong emotions, creating a new artistic approach that would change how people understood and enjoyed music. The reader is taken on an exploration of the deeper ideas behind Romantic music, pointing out how these changes mirror the personal and social changes of the time.
