Selected Letters of Berlioz by Hugh Macdonald (English) Paperback Book

Description: Selected Letters of Berlioz by Hugh Macdonald, Roger Nichols Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description One of the foremost composers of his generation, Berlioz was even more influential as an arbiter of musical taste and a writer of critical essays for the Parisian Journal des debats. But professional journalism was sometimes an unwelcome task for Berlioz, who felt hindered by considerations of diplomacy and censorship. Publisher Description Letter writing, by contrast, provided him with a freer outlet for creative expression, and his surviving correspondences number in the thousands. From that extraordinary output Hugh Macdonald has gathered some 500 letters that span the composers life and chart the course of his artistic career. The first letter, written by a brash fifteen-year-old Berlioz to a group of music publishers, suggests that they bring out his work at their own expense. The last letter, in which Berlioz begs his brother-in-law for money, reveals the once-prodigious composer and writer reduced to a pathetic state of poverty. Dipped into or read straight through, Selected Letters of Berlioz is entertaining and informative reading for any music lover. Translated aptly and colorfully by Roger Nichols, Berliozs letters blend personal sentiment with deep insight into nineteenth-century thought, providing an entrancing portrait of one of the centurys leading artistic figures.
