Berlioz the composer was also a writer and critic. This collection offers a selection of his day-to-day criticism, taking him from his student days to his first years of mature success. Through Berlioz's eyes we follow musical events during one of the richest periods in French cultural history-- the decade surrounding the Revolution of 1830.
