Episode 371: Romantic Era Reprise

The Enlightenment was an amazing time in human history, it opened the way for so many breakthroughs, and we've referred to music from that time as counter-enlightened, music that breaks rules of long standing methods.  It's also the music of the Romantic Era and it has been extremely successful.  One way to enjoy its success is to devote another episode to the Romantic Era; a reprise.
