a teacher told me that in romantic, the music is usually fancy and catches the listeners' ears. it also affects the listeners' emotions.
i don't know with the other eras. my favorite is the romantic!

I think it is very important to be familiar very history of music : it helps to understand, appreciate and interpret better music.
Of course, era determination is always kind of subjective : composers did not decide "OK, the old era is done, let's start a new one...", but it's rather a progressive evolution, a blending. And some composers do not belong to the main features of their era.
My advice to you : grab a good book about music history, do research, it's worth it.

A good book, maybe, but most of all listen to music as much as you can and don't be afraid to explore new genres, new composers, new works
Whether you like a piece or not, you'll always end up learning something and widening your musical culture
