I'm doing a French degree. At the moment I am studying for a Music History class (in French), and I have been listening to symphonies and operas from the 1700s for hours... and I am going crazy. I have no musical background so I don't even really know what I am looking for when listening to them!
What do you study?

I'm a masters in electrical engineering right now. I've been stairing at pages of numbers trying to figure out where I screwed up its making me buggy eyed. (vs your listening to music lol, I think you are my double, double in a country too - San Jose)
Some help, the 1700's was the romantic era. This was about the time of the industrial revolution, so vs the classical era, you saw things like new instruments (brass - trumpets, tuba, french horn...), and consequently, symphonies etc now that there were instruments for that, larger range of octaves, a movement away from set rhythm to something called "tempo robato" (or robbed time, you'd speed up at some time and pay back that time later, or vis versa), more showmanship (especially Franz Liszt). There are a few things you might want to look for.
