Romantic would be too broad of a term, I would have to say I m a turn of the century guy, late 19th/Early 20th Century.

Romantic isn't any broader a term than "Baroque" or "Classical," but I see why it would be broad as composers from pre-Romantic periods have "Romantic" tendencies in their music.

Just like composers like Mendelssohn or Brahms have "Classical" tendencies in their music.

Truth be told, the eras of classical music have a lot of overlap, and there are no clean, clear and convenient border lines between them.

It seems a lot of people share this opinion.

I think there should be at least two Romantic periods: Early and Late. This is hardly an idea unique to me. Your earlies could be Schubert, Chopin, Berlioz, etc, with lates like Mahler and Strauss. Perhaps there should also be a mid-Romantic to cover Wagner, Liszt, etc. But the music os Schubert IS different enough from Strauss, say, to merit different periods.

This was tough as I love the romantic and the 20th century American era as well. Oh well. Torn between two lovers....

I don't think the 20th century should be there - there are no other "centuries" there anyway, plus it overlaps with romantic and modernist periods.

Agreed. Actually, the "true" Romanticism is the one by Chopin and Schumann; Mahler, Strauss and Wagner (Liszt being a transitional figure) did what should (and sometimes is) called late-romanticism. THe styles are very different to be grouped together.

My favourite by far is Twentieth Century repertoire. Second would be between Romantic & Classical. I also don't mind contemporary classical. Least favourites would be the others...

And then you got your Berlioz who would have sounded quite fine among the late Romantics.

Um, to some degree I agree. His Requiem sounds like it could be a later romantic work, certainly.

I would probably go with the Romantic era (broad as that term may be)... in spite of the fact that God... I mean J.S. Bach, and Mozart were not of that time.
