Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Artistic freedom, the influence of the French revolution and the massive development of musicology had a significant influence on the variety and diversity of compositional forms in the Romantic era. However, many features of the performance style in romantic period require a deeper understanding, especially related to expression features from performer’s perspective. This article examines a number of aspects that correlate with the style of performance in the romantic era. There are three objectives in this article. The first is to correlate compositional works in the romantic era that illustrate the symbiotic relationship between artistic forms and non-musical ideas, especially socio-political sentiments. The second is to review the role of musicology and philosophical perspective in building a structure of knowledge in music performance. The third is to characterize the performance style in romantic era. The methodology of this research is carried out based on a literature study. This article is part of an ongoing research with the title Artistic research: Characterization my classical guitar method based on two selected repertoires. Through this article, it is hoped that the understanding of the influence of musical and extra-musical aspects on the romantic era's performance style can be clarified. Keyword: History of Romantic Era, Performance Style, French Revolution Influence.
