What is the effect of chromaticism?

Chromatic chords add color and motion to romantic music. Dissonant, or unstable, chords were also more freely than during the classical era. By deliberately delaying the resolution of dissonance to a consonant, or stable, chord, romantic composers created feelings of yearning, tension, and mystery.

Why do composers use chromaticism?

In the 16th and early 17th centuries, notably in the secular Italian and English madrigal, chromaticism was used to heighten expressiveness; the Italian composer Carlo Gesualdo and some of his contemporaries pushed this tendency to extremes that distorted the perception of modal scale structure.

What is linear chromaticism?

All chromaticism is linear in origin since chromatic pitches have such a strong inclination to resolve (raised notes to move up a half step, lowered notes to move down a half step). At times the linear rationale is so dominant that it is almost impossible to label sonorities with a Roman numeral.
