Romanticism and Its Importance

Romanticism is a pseudo religious ideology. It sweeps the continent, but it's like spiritual junk food. Romanticism plays a big role in the rise of the french revolution and the napoleonic wars. Don't forget romanticism. Beethoven is writing music initially because he's a fan of napoleon. When napoleon crowns himself emperor, that's when beethoven actually abandons him. This is the time we're talking about why.
