Moravian composers

Composers that were born in the Czech Republic, or gained the Czech nationality.

Romanticism was characterised by idealising the expression of the emotions of the composer. The notion of the suffering artist stems form this period. The romantic era starts around 1800, and goes on some way into the twentieth century. In the first half of the twentieth century the ever more complex romantic music competed with the new forms and sound of the then modernistic composers.

Composers that were born in Austria, or gained the Austrian nationality.

Composers that were born in Moravia. Moravia is nowadays the Eastern part of the Czech Republic.
