184423701Paris: Jules Labitte 1844. First Edition. Hardcover. Three quarter gilt lettered black morocco marbled boards and marbled endpapers. 2 Vols. Very good. 422 370 pages. 21.5 x 13 cm. It was this period in his life 1840's Berlioz spent much of his time making music outside France. He struggled to make money from his concerts in Paris and learning of the large sums made by promoters from performances of his music in other countries he resolved to try conducting abroad. His extensive German tour in twelve German cities received enthusiastic receptions. The German public was better disposed than the French to his innovative compositions and his conducting was seen as highly impressive. He extravagantly praised Beethoven's symphonies and Gluck's and Weber's operas and scrupulously refrained from promoting his own compositions. One quire in Vol. I toned balance of interior clean and bright. Text in French. Jules Labitte hardcover

Maroon cloth binding with tan title plate and gilt title on the spine.</p><ul><li><p><strong>We provide an in-depth photographic presentation of this item to stimulate your feeling and touch. More traditional book descriptions are immediately available</strong></p></li></ul><p>As the photographs illustrate this remains a quality work. This work first published in 1852 is a collection of short stories already serialized in the press the subjects of which revolve around music. The pretext is as follows: the musicians of a northern European orchestra are in the habit "during the performance of mediocre operas" of reading studying or telling stories to each other in turns. "The author" is the rapporteur and sometimes himself is the narrator of anecdotes and "little novels".</p><p>Louis-Hector Berlioz 11 December 1803 – 8 March 1869 was a French Romantic composer and conductor. His output includes orchestral works such as the Symphonie fantastique and Harold in Italy choral pieces including the Requiem and L'Enfance du Christ his three operas Benvenuto Cellini Les Troyens and Béatrice et Bénédict and works of hybrid genres such as the "dramatic symphony" Roméo et Juliette and the "dramatic legend" La Damnation de Faust.</p><p>The elder son of a provincial physician Berlioz was expected to follow his father into medicine and he attended a Parisian medical college before defying his family by taking up music as a profession. His independence of mind and refusal to follow traditional rules and formulas put him at odds with the conservative musical establishment of Paris. He briefly moderated his style sufficiently to win France's premier music prize – the Prix de Rome – in 1830 but he learned little from the academics of the Paris Conservatoire. Opinion was divided for many years between those who thought him an original genius and those who viewed his music as lacking in form and coherence.</p><p>At the age of twenty-four Berlioz fell in love with the Irish Shakespearean actress Harriet Smithson and he pursued her obsessively until she finally accepted him seven years later. Their marriage was happy at first but eventually foundered. Harriet inspired his first major success the Symphonie fantastique in which an idealised depiction of her occurs throughout.</p><p>Berlioz completed three operas the first of which Benvenuto Cellini was an outright failure. The second the epic Les Troyens The Trojans was so large in scale that it was never staged in its entirety during his lifetime. His last opera Béatrice et Bénédict – based on Shakespeare's comedy Much Ado About Nothing – was a success at its premiere but did not enter the regular operatic repertoire. Meeting only occasional success in France as a composer Berlioz increasingly turned to conducting in which he gained an international reputation. He was highly regarded in Germany Britain and Russia both as a composer and as a conductor. To supplement his earnings he wrote musical journalism throughout much of his career; some of it has been preserved in book form including his Treatise on Instrumentation 1844 which was influential in the 19th and 20th centuries. Berlioz died in Paris at the age of 65.</p> Calmann- Levy. hardcover

18571053<p><b>BERLIOZ Hector 1803-1869 French composer. </b>An 11-line ALS to "Monsieur" signed "H. Berlioz." 1 full p. 8vo. N. p. Paris 30 December 1857. </p><p>Berlioz writes to an unnamed correspondent about what he wrote as music critic for the <i>Journal des Débats</i> 17 November in reply to M. Benoît Jouvin's comments in <i>Figaro. </i>According to the Hector Berlioz website Berlioz had written about the first production of <i>Margot </i>a comic opera in three acts at the Théâtre Lyrique 5 November 1857 by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Adolphe de Leuven music by Antoine-Louis Clapisson and also wrote there about "Inauguration de la salle Beethoven. CONCERT D'OUVERTURE." Berlioz writes about a response from Jouvin the publisher of <i>Figaro</i> a man about whom it has been said always left the theater irritated. Berlioz writes: "It is in the Journal des Debats of November 17th that I have replied to the few lines that Mr. Jouvin has published in the Figaro. But as regards to the article that he wrote in answer to my reply I did not have to answer it and I did not do so. Many thanks for all the gracious things for me contained in your letter receive my best feelings." From 1834 to 1863 Berlioz wrote more than 400 contributions to the prestigious and influential Paris paper the <i>Journal des Débats</i> which represent rather less than half of his entire output as music critic. Apparently unpublished and not one of his well over 3000 letters found in his <i>Correspondance </i> <i>général</i> 1972-2003. Very good with edges slightly browned and three edges very slightly rough. </p><br />
