This period of music is pretty neat, considering I generally don't listen to this genre of music. There's a lot of emotion in the music and that was kinda different for that time. This music went era happened from like 1800 to 1910, and before that I don't think a lot of composers before that time put a lot of emotion in their music. There's a lot of songs in this era where you can actually paint a mental picture of what the composer is feeling. You hear romanticism and you automatically think lovey dovey stuff, but it's deeper than that. It's about all kinds of emotions ranging from being happy, sad, love struck, or even pist off. That's what I find intriguing about it. These dudes are like suttle rebels in a way, kinda like Elvis when he first came out except the crazy dancing. These composers wanted to do something different, I have the idea that they were tired of having to stick to the standards, they wanted to be creative and experiment.
Mauro Giuseppe Sergio Pantaleo Giuliani July 27, 1781 – May 8, 1829
Mauro was an Italian guitarist and composer. He was born in Bisceglie, but he did most of his studying in Barletta. The first instrument he beacame familiar with was the cello. Somewhere he became devoted to playing guitar, and it didn't take long for him to become very good at it. Information on his musical training is vague, because any teachers he may have had are unknown. He was married with a kid, but one day he decided to move to Vienna alone and start a relationship with a lady, and they also had a child together. Vienna is where he became accustomed to the classical instrumental style, he began to publish in 1807. He was quite the muical celebrity of his time.
