Category:Romantic composers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (122 words)
Romantic composers are those individuals who wrote music in the Romantic era, between about 1815 and 1910.
This is not to be confused with the overlapping period of Romanticism in literature and the history of culture, which is dated from 1770 to 1850.
Thus, not all "Romantic" composers are associated with "Romanticism", and some composers who are associated with some aspects of Romanticism the movement are unequivocally not thought of as "Romantic" composers.
