This book is an analytical and critical study of Berlioz's unique
musical style. It does not undertake to analyse all his works, but
rather to separate characteristic elements and observe them in
action. Berlioz's writings and those of his critics are called upon
to help focus the discussion. Part I includes material on the
sources of Berlioz's idiosyncrasy and a discussion of fundamental
pitch elements. Part II pursues this discussion into textural,
contrapuntal and orchestral features, and considers melody and
rhythm. Part III deals with whole musical forms, vocal and
instrumental. The book includes copious musical illustration, much
of it analytical reduction, and the expressive purpose of the
features analysed is fully considered. The conclusion is that
Berlioz's musical language is inescapably peculiar, though not
necessarily inept; features which seem inexplicable in the light of
compositional theory nearly always contribute to the musical and
expressive exactness of communication.
