Late Romanticism
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Genre
Late Romanticism · Around 1900 orchestras, symphonies and emotions grew to gigantic proportions. Gustav Mahler, director of the Court Opera in Vienna from 1897, wrote symphonies of more than an hour in which marches, folk songs and heartfelt adagios stand side by side. In symphonic poems such as Also sprach Zarathustra (1896), Richard Strauss told an entire story with the orchestra alone. Their harmony stretched the key so far that the next generation let go of it.
Listening
Listening tip. Listen to how in Zarathustra a trumpet climbs above a low organ note and the whole orchestra, with timpani, builds to an enormous climax.
