  Amidst a background of wars and revolution, the nineteenth century produced many of the world's bestloved composers. Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin and Tchaikovsky are just some of the many familiar names whose music was shaped by the events of period. Discover Music of the Romantic Era charts the course of music through these turbulent but exhilarating times. Light-hearted but authoritative, it tells the fascinating, often scandalous life-stories of the nineteenth century's greatest composers and describes how they created musical history. Their many different styles are illustrated by 2A hours of carefully chosen music on the dedicated website.
