My favorite genre of music is the symphonic music of the Romantic era. This period was characterized by its emotional expression, individuality, and departure from the strict classical forms of the previous era. When I listen to the inspiring works of composers such as Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky, I can truly appreciate the divine gift bestowed upon humanity by the divine itself. Their compositions evoke powerful emotions and transport me to a realm of beauty and transcendence.
