This volume contains nine substantial essays by the world's leading
Berlioz scholars. They cover various aspects of Berlioz's life and
works and represent an important contribution to Berlioz research.
The book includes essays based on documents, both biographical and
musical, that give us, among other things, a portrait of the artist
as a young man and a revealing view of an important but
little-studied work of his maturity. There are readings of Romeo et
Juliette and La Damnation de Faust that wrestle anew with the
problems of the relationships between literature and music and - as
Berlioz's music nearly always requires - with the problems of
genre. Two views of Berlioz's Les Nuits d'ete are presented which
ask when and why the work was conceived, and how the work coheres.
The practical question of Berlioz's metronome marks are here
thoroughly studied for the first time. The volume closes with a
novel piece, in dialogue form, by the elder statesman of Berlioz
scholars, Jacques Barzun, who treats with exceptional grace the
profound issues raised by Berlioz the man and musician.
