Talk:Compose a symphony and have it performed/@comment-12.159.2.10-20171109203032/@comment-28830843-20180212011250

IMO the 'Regency' era refers to the Regency Era of British history (roughly 1790-1837), named after the Regency of Prince George during the reign of his father (George III) and his later reign as George IV, the ruler preceding Queen Victoria; said era was known for its high fashion, elegance and extravagance, and also Jane Austen's works. Grand symphonies would fit the court of George IV more than the court of post-Fall Queen Victoria.
