Romantic Period Piano Part Writing

Hi

I am working on a piece for piano and Bb cornet. It is a theme and variations piece. Does anybody have any ideas how to write a piano part in the style of the romantic period please???

Any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks Adam

Listen to the Boheme concerto, and study other pieces from that area.

Study Schumann! His piano accompaniments to instrumental solo pieces and songs are very pianistic, elaborate, an epitome of romanticism, and simply great. Brahms should also be studied.

thanks for the help

does anybody have a copy of the pieces mentioned??

It would probably be illegal. Sheet Music Plus - World's Largest Selection of Sheet Music, Scores, Songbooks, and Guitar Tabs has all of them though.

Brahms... study Brahms... !! Romantic piano is SOOO yummy. lol.

But, seriously, Brahms is free most of the time. And, it's perfectly legal to download his public domain stuff. I would suggest his intermezzo for solo piano, it's very good and shows off the elegance and heaviness of his piano part writing. Also, some of his vocal pieces sound very nice for piano accompaniment.
