Romantic Period
Alexander Graham Bell was born on March 3,1847 and died on April 2,1922. He is the guy who we all have to thank for inventing the telephone, without him how could we communicate? In 1866 Bell experimented on the thought of how to produce vowel sounds. He came up with the thought of combing the note of electrically driven forks, which gave him the idea of telegraphing speech. Bell with the lack of electric knowledge, ask for help from a local electrical shop owner named Thomas A. Watson. After many months of working together the two finally accomplished something. On June 2,1875 Watson heard a sound coming from over Bell's end of the wire, with some tinkering the device transmitted Bell's voice to Watson. Bell soon begins to write a patent for his first telephone. Besides trying to complete the telephone, Bell was trying to help out the deaf children. He opened a school in Boston to train teachers to teach and tutor the deaf. He was also the professor of vocal physiology at Bos!ton University. Alexander did many lectures and tutoring at this time, helping many deaf students. Bells health was not doing so well in 1875 because of the long nights, this led him to return to his parent's house in Canada to recuperate. In 1875 after ma
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Writers such as Tennyson, Wilde, and Browning are many of the good poets during the Romantic period. Tennyson (1809-1892) wrote two volumes, one containing a revised selection from the volume of 1830 and 1832, the other, new poems. The new poems included "Morte d'Arthur," "The Two Voices," "Locksley Hall," and "The Vision of Sin." Hugo (1860-1903) was very in to music; he learned to play the violin and the piano under the help of his dad. But Hugo showed a remarkable musical memory and an extraordinarily sharp ear. Hugo's musical education was soon entrusted to the municipal schoolmaster Sebastian Weixler, a friend of the family. Hugo made great strides under the direction of Weixler. The foundation for Wolf's later masterly command of the piano was laid here. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) an irish wit poet and dramatist whose reputation rests on his comic masterpieces "Lady Windermere's Fan (1892) and the Importance of being Earnest (1895). Lady Windermere demonstrated that this wit could revitalize the rusty machinery of French drama. Hugo's first and decisive meeting with Richard Wagner took place at the beginning of his time at the Viennese conservatory. Wagner was in Vienna to conduct "Tannhauser" and "Lohengrinn" to promote the first Bereuth Festival set for next year. The fifteen-year-old decided immediately to call on Wagner, who stayed at the hotel "Imperial", and to present him his first compositions. In actual fact, he succeeded in working his way through to Wagner, who refused yet to deal with the presented music note manuscripts. Hugo Wolf's teacher at the conservatory was Robert Fuchs (harmony) and Wilhelm Schenner (piano). The teaching method of Franz Krenn, who taught composition the following year, did not suit Wolf. At age seventeen, Hugo declared to the director Hellemsberger that he intended to leave the institute, where he has forgotten all the things that he has learned. The Romantic period lasted from 1825 through 1900. In the period it was made up of richer harmonies which are better to listen and more clearer. It contains a larger orchestral force, mainly emotional music. The rhythm is in a ru
