* '''Romanticism''' — A period of Western music (~1820–1910) that emphasized "Individual Expression," "Emotion," and "Connection to the Arts."
* '''Program Music''' — Music that "Tells a Story" or "Describes a Scene" without words (e.g., 'A Forest,' 'A Battle,' 'A Dream').
* '''Virtuoso''' — A "Performer" with "Incredible Technical Skill" (e.g. 'Paganini' on violin, 'Liszt' on piano) who becomes a "Celebrity."
* '''Lied''' (Art Song) — A "Short Song" for "Voice and Piano" that "Sets a Poem" to music (Mastered by 'Franz Schubert').
* '''Leitmotif''' — A "Musical Theme" (Handled by 'Wagner') that "Represents" a "Character," "Object," or "Idea" and "Changes" with the story.
* '''Gesamtkunstwerk''' — Wagner’s "Total Work of Art": a performance (Opera) that combines "Music," "Poetry," "Painting," and "Architecture" into one "Unified Vision."
* '''Rubato''' — "Borrowed Time": the practice of "Speeding Up and Slowing Down" the tempo for "Emotional Effect" (Key to 'Chopin').
* '''Nationalism''' — The "Use" of "Folk Tunes" and "Local History" to "Create" a "National Musical Identity" (e.g., 'Grieg,' 'Dvořák,' 'Sibelius').
* '''Orchestration''' — The "Art" of "Combining" the "Colors" of different instruments to "Create" "Massive Sounds" (Mastered by 'Berlioz' and 'Mahler').
* '''Chromaticism''' — Using "Notes Outside the Scale" to "Create" "Tension," "Longing," and "Unstable Emotions."
