Chapter Summary

A great deal of solo voice and piano music was written during this period, exemplified by Schumann's Lieder and Chopin's character pieces and dances. Religious choral music was of less significance than in earlier periods, but choruses were included in operas and even in some symphonic works. The songs of Stephen Foster and the light concert music of Louis Gottschalk delighted audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. The members of the American group known as the Second New England mastered the techniques of composing in the German Romantic style. Finally, America produced a great Romantic of her own, Edward MacDowell.
