Late Romantic Period Composers
E. Spaceman:
Well, it does contain some musical numbers, but in all honestly I'd say it isn't.
KharBevNor:
HEY JESUS. YOU DON'T KNOW US, WE'VE NEVER SPOKEN TO YOU. WE'RE THE ATHEISTS AND WE'RE HERE TO KICK YOUR ASS
And then they just keep coming out that van...

Generally referring to the mid 19th century into early 20th century, but more accurately referring to people like Smetana, Dvořák, Janáček, Liszt, and Wagner, who moved away from the classical romantism of composers like Brahms and Beethoven, but still retained obvious romantic influence in their work.
Misereatur:
Smetana is'nt that importent in late romantic music.

--- Quote from: Nemba ---Liszt.
Not all of his music is absolutely fantastic to listen to (although some of it is very good) but if you are a good pianist, after playing his music you will apreciate it a lot. At least I did. I didn't really care about him at all, but playing the Hungarian Rhapsody #2 is really really enjoyable.

Man I wish I had a piano. I used to love playing Liszt: he's one of the most wilfully misunderstood of all composers. If you believe everything you hear you'll think that Liszt is all about LOUDER! FASTER! But that's bullshit. There's so much dynamic variety in his compositions. I especially like his religious works, like the Ave Marias - Liszt was basically wrestling with his Catholocism throughout his life, and that conflict comes out so strongly in his music (see also: the Consolations). It's almost overwhelming: you're listening to a man try to find peace with himself. From a purely pianistic point-of-view, meanwhile, Liszt knew the piano inside-out, and when you play his compositions you get an incredibly powerful sense that your getting the most out of the instrument that you possibly can.
Man I wish I still had a piano.
