Berlioz in Time: From Early Recognition to Lasting Renown

0/5 ( ratings)

"This book is a collection of thirteen essays culled from the several books and hundreds of articles I have published and lectures I have given over the years on the life and work of Hector Berlioz. Organized in a chronological order determined by the essential subject matter of each essay, the book treats in detail some of composer's individual works , some of the composer's relationships with his most famous contemporaries , some of the composer's most important concerns , the composer's most important book , and some of his most important critics . In a brief Prelude, I explain the origins of the book, aspects of my career as a Berliozian, the main theme of much of my research , and some of the particular concerns to be treated in the texts that follow. In a brief Postlude, I treat the work of Berlioz's important critics based in part on an article of mine that appeared only in French; and I conclude with a note on the current state of Berlioz studies and some thoughts on the needs for the immediate future. Although this is essentially a collection of previously published material, it is my intention seriously to revise it in such a way as to avoid needless repetition over the course of the thirteen chapters, to bring up to date not every last detail but certain crucial matters, and to correct a number of errors and oversights. The material previously published in French and German will, in English, be entirely new"--
