Montfort. 520 $a The quintessential Romantic artist of his century, Hector Berlioz impressed Paganini and Liszt as "Beethoven's only heir" and dazzled the young Wagner as a composer, orchestra conductor, and critic. To Paris and all Europe, Berlioz was known as much for his writings as for his music, yet there has been no English-language anthology of his criticism available until now. Berlioz on Music plunges us into the Parisian music world during one of its most vibrant periods, the revolutionary years surrounding 1830, still resonant with memories of Napoleon and the French Revolution of only a few decades before. We follow Berlioz as he confronts the transition to a modern, commerce-driven society where music as high art has yet to find a place, using his pen to praise or scold, rouse or cajole performers, composers, managers, and the general public. The articles presented here-given in chronological order and, with a few exceptions, in their entirety-are accompanied by an introductory paragraph and notes that explain Berlioz's references to persons, musical and literary works, historical events, and more. The result is an engaging collection of Berlioz's lively prose, presented with scholarly rigor and rendered in accessible, graceful English. Scholars, lovers of Berlioz's music, history enthusiasts, and Francophiles will delight in this compelling introduction to one of the richest periods of French culture. 650 0 $a Music $z France $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Musical criticism $z France. 600 17 $a Berlioz, Hector, $d 1803-1869. $2 gnd $0 (DE-601)134583884 650 7 $a Musikleben $2 gnd $0 (DE-601)106087126 650 7 $a Pressestimme $2 gnd $0 (DE-601)104798122 650 7 $a Musikkritik $2 gnd $0 (DE-601)104212403 650 7 $a Quelle $2 gnd $0 (DE-601)105661236 651 7 $a Paris $2 gnd $0 (DE-601)106204734 650 7 $a Music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030269 650 7 $a Musical criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030706 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a 1800 - 1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Kolb, Katherine, $e editor. 700 1 $a Rosenberg, Samuel N., $e translator. 856 42 $z Additional Information at Google Books $u http://books.google.com/books?vid=isbn9780199391950 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1601/2014023062-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1601/2014023062-d.html 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210015215.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20160506011142.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E80B7790134F11E6AEBAE1B2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
