The music of romanticism has its story 

Smetana was born in the Czech Republic in 1824 and Strauss in Munich in 1864. Both belonged to the Romantic period, characterised by an imaginative and novelistic musical style, and were completely attracted to the genre of “symphonic poem”, a literary poetic character, whose purpose is to arouse emotions or tell stories through music. It is generally written for orchestra, although it can be for piano or chamber ensembles.
