Answer:
It’s true. Romantic symphonies are generally longer than Classical symphonies
Explanation:
A modern concert featuring a single Romantic symphony would probably be longer than one featuring a Classical symphony. Romantic symphonies, generally, are less structured and longer than Classical symphonies. They have a much larger variety of instruments and larger orchestras as well. They are considered to be more expressive and have a wider variation of dynamics than the ones from the classical period. For example, the Surprise Symphony by Hayden is classical and lasts about half an hour, whereas Mahler’s Symphony Nº9, which is romantic, is played in approximately an hour and a half.
