I think OP wants to learn about the harmonic tendencies and practices of Romantic composers rather than chromatic harmony more generally, which covers a lot of styles, hence the choice of "Romantic" over "Chromatic". As for learning this style of Harmony, I highly recommend analysing works from the period (as others have suggested) or (if you're lazy like me) watching YouTube videos analysing works from the period.

For these competitions, can you send in more than one entry?

It would not pass the first round! Form: this supposed to be fugue? All three voices start all the same time... Score: the score was presented in clean manner. There were no errors that I saw. Playability; I can not judge this area because of instrumentation. Creativity: It was creative and original Texture: There were unique themes from each instruments that interacted each other. This is not a fugue. But more imiition. Taste: It is interesting to see a different take on what fugue is. But i was confused by it? I felt lost... :( Themes: Each instrument had unique theme,

Yes please make sure you submit on time! I want to make sure I can review and scores objectively.

Hello, Little fugue i wrote today in the north german baroque style. First musical output in years. Simple in harmony, joyful and melodic in theme and counterpoint. Scored for four voices, work well enough with organ or strings. Fuga in g.mp3 Fuga in G.pdf

Fair point. His later works were more chromatic. See, the correct word you guys want is not "romantic' but "chromatic". During the 19th century, composers used modal mixture, 9ths, etc.

Hello @Aiwendil Review: Let us talk about what a trio is. In a piano trio, you have two solo players and a piano player. When I listen to your piece, i did not hear two solo string players. I heard multiple. They sound different. Next thing you want to check is balance. I feel that FF is too loud a trio. The background elements will overpower the foreground. You do not want that. I would suggest remove the dynamics for now. The thematic material the proceeds b.19 confuses me. what is the purpose for that section? So much empty in the solo strings. 10 measures of inactivity. I suggest removing those bars and start at 68. :) Then place the first ending repeat at b. 122. the second ending where femata is! in other words, look where this no activity in the piece and re arrange it. :) You will be amazed what will happen. :)
