How is a romance different from a song?

Romance can be called one of the types of song, so there is much in common between these concepts. But of course there are features. A song is a fairly broad concept that includes various ways of performing, genres, and even listeners. The romance is focused on a narrow circle. As a rule, it is performed solo, with accompaniment – most often of one instrument. In a romance, you often do not find choruses, the text is very significant in it, therefore there are many references to great poetry. It is a sentimental and emotional genre.
