The idea of 'romance' was, in the 17th century, simply the idea of chivalric adventure. Since, it has, like all ideas, undergone an enormous metamorphosis. Now, its definition leans more towards the sentimental side with emotion - love, jealousy, sweetness, attention, etc – taking precedence. The power and magic of this music, like all great music, is that it can express all aspects of the idea, thus allowing each individual the maximum personal enjoyment of the music.Brendan Conway
