This book demonstrates the continuing fecundity of Berlioz scholarship in the first decade of the twenty-first century. It has profited from the recent completion of long-needed critical editions of Berlioz's music and letters, and from the results of the worldwide celebrations, in and around 2003, of the two-hundredth anniversary of the composer's birth. Presented in six contrasting and complementary pairs, the essays treat such matters as Berlioz's aesthetics and what it means to write about the meaning of his music; the political implications of his fiction and the affinities of his projects as composer and as critic; what the Germans thought of his work before his travels in Germany and what the English made of him when he visited their capital city. We learn in explicit detail how Berlioz deployed the mezzo-soprano voice, what he seems to have written immediately after encountering Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (a surprise), and where he benefited from Beethoven in what later became Romeo et Juliette.;
