Question

1. lindsay wants to compose a symphony similar to one from the romantic period. what should she do to best model this time period?

her compositions should be drastically shortened.
she should add more emotional levels to her work.
she should avoid using any symphonic poems.
she should not put emphasis on instrumental music.

Explanation:

The Romantic period in music is defined by an emphasis on emotional expression, contrast, and individualism. Shortening compositions contradicts Romantic works' often expanded forms; symphonic poems were a key Romantic genre (so avoiding them is incorrect); and Romantic music emphasized instrumental music (e.g., symphonies, concertos). Adding emotional levels aligns with the core characteristic of Romantic music.

Answer:

B. She should add more emotional levels to her work.
