Option C.

Explanation:

Their pieces had a much wider range of length, both longer and shorter, is the right answer.

The Romantic era began around 1830 and came to an end around 1900 since compositions became frequently expressive and artistic. Broad symphonies, virtuosity keyboard melody, dramatic performances, and passionate lyrics took motivation from art and literature.

This era is recognized for its extraordinary spirit and enthusiasm. The severe sorts of classical music presented a way to more prominent expression, and songs became closer to art, literature and amphitheater.
