 Internet Public Library: Music History 102
Schubert's music neatly bridges the Classical and Romantic periods through its use of lovely melodies, inventive scoring, and nature imagery, wedded to the traditional classical forms while at the same time expanding them.
Later in the period and spanning the turn of the century, Viennese composer Franz Schubert further developed the symphony and string quartet in his own style, operating as he was under the shadow of the great Beethoven.
His music is always extremely well-crafted and seemingly simple and charming, but there are always flights of fancy and pure jokes amidst the classical veneer.

 Classical Net - Basic Repertoire List - Authenticity and Period Instruments
For earlier music (i.e., romantic period or classical period and earlier, especially music of the baroque, renaissance and medieval periods), there has been a great deal of exploration of different interpretations in terms of "historically informed" or "period instrument" practices.
Period interpretations have found favor with musicians and CD buyers, and the availability of recordings capturing these performances has increased dramatically in recent years.
At their best, period performances can illuminate often-heard compositions anew by incorporating smaller instrumental or vocal forces, and expose novel sonorities by using instruments similar to those in use at the time the music was first composed, thus bringing a clarity to the inner workings of the music.
