→Romantic era
Romanticism, in contrast to the Classical period, is much more expansive. It appeals to the emotions, not the intellect as Classic music was designed. It sometimes dispenses with the four-beat measure, its melodic lines are lengthier, it allows for [[syncopation]] or changing rhythm. It often uses [[progression]] or [[crescendo]] to heighten emotion.

Expanded melodic lines also gave fresh opportunities for expanded use of counterpoint, sometimes making the music increasingly complex.
