On Mondays I'm a calm and resigned stoic. On Tuesdays I'm a busy capitalist. On Wednesdays I'm a coldly practical Darwinist. On Thursdays I'm a wound up nationalist. On Fridays I'm an energized anarchist. On weekends I'm a passionate, euphoric romantic. I am never bored with life.

For a long time, I thought of romance as feelings of love. But now that I’ve watched this, romance associates with expression, sentiment and elements of nature. Music in this era has heartwarming melodies. Poems and writings express their expressive sentiments, and art makes use of the artists use of nature and emotion to make romance yet one of the best art and literature movements.

Romanticism is swimming in an ocean of feels; where the intensities of sadness and madness are so real, they feel as real as the breaking waves and pulling tides. By all means, swim in the ocean; but don't attempt to live in it.

How blind must you be to think that the only emotions a person who own theirs feels only misery? When you don't own your emotions, you become a slave to them, if you're drowning in emotion every time you feel, that's a problem you are facing. And it sounds to me like you've been hiding from your emotions, pushing them down, denying them and judging them, that only makes them stronger. They are trying to tell you something, instead of denying them, give your focus to them.

I think you guys missed a trick with this one, romantic music is one of the defining aspects of the movement. The composers of the time wrote huge amounts about what their art meant to them, and I find it strange to talk about Romanticism without Beethoven, or german Lieder through Schubert. Even Wagner was after the sublime through his opera, though I know he's associated with the nationalistic aspects of Romanticism. Also I'll mention for anyone interested in the topic: ETA Hoffman, Sturm und Drang, Schiller, Heine, Schumann, Lizst, Innigkeit, and Organicism (Beethoven Symphony no.5 being a good example). From your friendly neighbourhood music student.

Excellent video, in every aspect, but I do have disagree with one thing: 06:44 - "Romantics don't believe in God." Rousseau in fact, may, in some way, be viewed to have invented a wholly new way of believing in God - a completely emotional one. He writes in one of his letters that sometimes in dark night he doubts there is a God, but as soon he sees the beautiful sunrise his faith returns to him. This is a complete, 180 turn from the view that the existence of God must be based on arguments, something which is apparent in Aquinas and Descartes. I myself do not accept this view (and neither romanticism), but it is to be mentioned that a true romantic is likely to believe (or disbelieve) in God simply from strength of his emotions.

I was surprised by that bit about God as well. Perhaps this is referring to the difference between a more traditional conception of God and an almost pantheist view of God as being present in everything. Or at least everything natural. It's hard to imagine a true Romantic believing in the Old Testament God or Calvin's God, but I do see them sharing the views of some of the more touch-feely cults of the 19th century.

Despite of the bad things, I really like romanticism era the most, just because how the people take their feelings so seriously and express it in the best way. How they admire love and nature, and even the naivety seems sweeter than the coldness of modernism. I just think people need to step back for a moment and look up to this period time just to learn and take a lil bit example on how to be in touch with our heart.

On a side note : idk if you're French speaking but your French pronunciation is excellent, it's quite refreshing as the language tends to be butchered by English speakers (no offense I just feel like generally speaking not a lot of people even bother to try to pronounce things correctly in French)

As the comments section of any youtube video prove, people of two opposing viewpoints can argue through highly rationalized claims, just to end up going no where. One might as well let the whims of emotion and personal taste govern everything, because people already use rationality and logic to justify those kinds of viewpoints. If I don't like something, I'll simply find ways to argue against it.

Rationality can go anywhere from being very subjective, to logical ordinary objective opinions. And people here on KZbin have been using "logic", I mean THEIR logic of course, to justify their emotionally approached viewpoints. In which case, that kind of "rationality" is not at all logic, logic mustn't be broken down to one's way of experiencing life (emotionally), but rather objective logic and reason that everyone agrees upon.

Alix Véjux Rimbaud, more or less the founder of the "Decadent" movement. The decadents were in some ways the opposite of the romantics, because they claimed that the artificial is more beautiful than the natural. Yet they were the same in championing the irrational over the rational. Some people have used the term "the dark romantics" to speak of the part of the movement that was obsessed with monsters from the unconscious, demons, vampires, etc.(Romantic poet Shelly was the husband of Mary Shelly who wrote "Frankentein." I can see now that much of this romanticism and dark romanticism influenced Foucault, to.

Romanticism is so lovely! For some time, I've wanted to reintegrate my inner-child, I've really lost touch with it. I also believe civilization today may be responsible for some of my inner turmoil. Maybe it's not the villain William Wordsworth seemingly makes it out to be though. Just as the worst parts of civilization can perhaps be softened by the best parts of Romanticism, perhaps the best parts of civilization can soften the worst parts of Romanticism. Maybe an acceptable aim is the perfect marriage between man and nature.

1813 was a significant year for the romantic movement, as the more classical based British Poet Laureate Henry Pye ( 1745 - 1813 ) died and the then most popular English Lakeland poet Robert Southey ( 1774 - 1843 ), a true romantic poet became British Poet Laureate, so British romanticism it can be said was officially public then. Also the great opera composers, Wagner in Germany ( 1813 - 1883 ) and Verdi in Italy ( 1813 - 1901 ) were born in 1813, so that year became hugely significant in romantic musical history!

This is a wonderful piece of culture and lecture. Not only is it well informed and packaged in a way that is convenient and comprehensive, it also adds quite a bit of extra pieces that go above and beyond to demonstrate the ideals and impact that are harbored within Romanticism. Especially, the voicing and pronunciation of the writers and their respective cities proves to be a phenomenal addition to the piece, elevating it--at least in my mind--to a much greater degree of excellence than it otherwise would have settled.

What an artistic way to outline the most important aspects of Romanticism! Just one remark, Goethe's Werther is not romantic but (at least in German literature) it's considered to adhere to the "Sturm und Drang", a movement which also opposed many aspects of enlightenment but was more political, radical and energetic than Romanticism.

Very well done, albeit sketchy. Would have included more on the art of Caspar David Friedrich (besides one brief glimpse), Turner, the French Symbolists, the Pre-Rafaelites, Gothic literature (Poe, et al.) and the revival of metaphysical studies (paganism, occultism, etc.).

Where you said romantics don't believe in God, I have to disagree the love of purity in nature is in part what lead me to God. Also that map part was really cool and added greatly to the overall video production.

I consider myself a romantic. Way before knowing the movement existed, I was captured by all the ideas that in this video are explained, but one, I do believe in a God or deity, and I think it’s the source of all the romanticism ideas.

This wonderful video is incomplete without a romantic composer. The title is romantic "ideas;" it's hard to say the ideas of wordless music. But it must happen. For instance, Chopin communicates - with his no-words music - the romantic idea that, "it's ok to feel sad sometimes, as long as you bounce back." That's why his waltzes all have rondo form that bounce back and forth from major to minor with each section. 🙏 Also, we need a billion more videos like this.

@@PoetClown a lot of people (especially younger people including myself) are becoming attracted to nature and the small things in life. More people have become dreamers and enjoy writing poetry and making art. Some are even moving from the city to the countryside, I feel like people are starting to realize that the modern way of living is not healthy in the long run. It’s a wonderful thing to see actually.
