Frederick Douglass wrote an oratory in 1852 called “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July” and what he says is “No nation can now shut itself up from itself from the surrounding world and trot round the same old path of its fathers without interference. The time was when such could be done. Long established customs of hurtful character could formerly fence themselves in, and do their evil work with social impunity...
His biggest inspirations would probably have to be Hugo and Delacroix, and both artists used current events during their time in history to create music, and stories to go along with their music. More than anything, Berlioz used new techniques that arose during this time period to create music that was fresh and new and bigger than anything he had seen before. This piece is a perfect example of Romantic music because of the way Berlioz opens up about personal experiences and makes everything bigger. He does a great job with his introduction of program music and the use of modern orchestration.
Romanticism, as told by Gene W. Ruoff, “often features an organic conception of individual life, society, and the interconnections of humanity, nature, and divinity” (Ruoff, Gene W. "Romanticism."

In the introduction Blanning argues that, besides the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, the Romantic Revolution was as, if not more, important, and just as radical and extensive. He then sets out to prove his point in a very rational setting. In his introduction, Blanning writes that the only way one can hope to understand Romanticism is ‘to enter the world of the romantics by the routes they chose themselves.’ His argument is that in order to fully appreciate Romanticism, one must know, or at least experience, its many appearances in literature, art and music.

For example, Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827) is often cited as being in the "Romantic" genre, by some of the same sources who claim that the classical period lasted until 1825, e.g. his entire life! Likewise, there is no consistent description of Vienna's Franz Schubert (1797-1828) - sometimes considered "classical" and other times "romantic". This time period is the most critical for the guitar, however, since Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829), Ferdinando Carulli (1770 - 1841), Fernando Sor (1778-1839), etc., lived during this era. Some guitarists speak of Sor's "Classical Period" to describe his early works, compared to his more romantic works of the 1830's. Stylistically, the guitar's early composers are "inbetween" classical and romantic - thus "late classical" or "early romantic" would be suitable descriptions.
