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

Beethoven invented a new [[genre]] of music with his Symphony No. 6, the ''Pastoral''. Instead the using traditional Italian markings, such as [[allegro]], [[adagio]], or [[andante]] for each movement, Beethoven tried to create a picture of a day in the country with markings such as ''Awakening of cheerful feelings on arrival in the countryside'', ''Scene by the brook'', ''Merry gathering of country folk'', ''Thunder, Storm'' and ''Shepherd's song. Cheerful and thankful feelings after the storm.'' Thus from the [[absolute music]] of the Classical era Beethoven created [[program music]], or music with a literary basis. Program music became increasingly popular after Beethoven with many people believing there was nothing more to be said in the symphonic genre after Beethoven's 9th. Although symphonies continued to be written after Beethoven, the [[tone poem]], a form of program music, became increasingly popular.
