Hector Berlioz (1803 60189) was one of the most original and
colourful composers of his generation, whose music in many ways was
ahead of its time. He was also a highly respected journalist and
critic, producing monthly articles for the Journal des D bats for
over thirty years, as well as other writings including his
posthumously published autobiographical M moires. Unlike
journalism, which he disliked, letter-writing was a task which he
relished and at which he excelled, producing sometimes four or five
in a day and more than 3,500 during his lifetime. The letters
reflect the man - exuberant, imaginative, idealistic, opinionated
and witty - and give us a fascinating, first-hand, insight into his
life. This two-volume selection includes some 300 examples. Volume
1 includes letters to family, fellow musicians such as Hiller,
Lizst and Schumann, and friends such as Auguste Morel and fellow
critic Joseph D'Ortigue.
