The document discusses several ways Romantic ideals were evident in the lives and works of Romantic composers. It explores exoticism through composers like David, Verdi and Bizet who were fascinated by foreign lands and incorporated influences from Egypt, the Middle East, Brazil and Spain into their compositions. Nationalism is examined through composers like Chopin, Tchaikovsky and Verdi who expressed their national pride and supported independence movements through their music. Individual power and revolutionary fervor are seen in Beethoven and Wagner who were inspired by political uprisings and expressed strong personal beliefs through ambitious works like Beethoven's Eroica Symphony and Wagner's anti-Semitic writings.
