The Romantic Era of Classical Music lasted just 95 years, from 1815 to 1910, but it produced some of the most memorable melodies, ever. 
​
The Enlightenment changed the course of human history with the concept that science and empirical arguments could explain human existence. Not surprisingly though, not everyone was thrilled, so some pushed back. To the disappointment of medieval theologians not everyone continued to embrace the old ways of thinking, but the concept that we could explain all of our existence by empirical observation didn’t fit well either. This philosophical tug-of-war still rages on. But, in 1815 the Romantic Era of classical music pushed back against what was then the new thinking of the Classical Era, and thus music became reactionary.
