With over forty international specialist authors, this Encyclopedia
covers all aspects of the life and work of Hector Berlioz. One of
the most original composers of the nineteenth century, he was also
internationally known as a pioneer of modern conducting, and as an
entertaining author of memoirs, fiction, and criticism. His musical
reputation has fluctuated, partly because his works rarely fit into
conventional categories. As this Encyclopedia demonstrates,
however, his influence on other composers, through his music and
his orchestration treatise, was considerable, and extended into the
twentieth century. The volume also covers Berlioz's connections
with government officials and Paris concert societies and theatres,
and contains information on his wide social circle including
important literary figures. The Encyclopedia explores his
fascination with foreign authors such as Shakespeare, Moore, and
Goethe, and treats fully his promotion of his own and others'
music, often at his own financial risk.
