520 a| This volume contains nine substantial essays by some of the world's leading Berlioz scholars. They cover various aspects of Berlioz's life and works and represent an important contribution to Berlioz research. The book includes essays based on newly discovered documents, both biographical and musical, that give us, among other things, a new portrait of the artist as a young man and a revealing view of an important but little-studied work of his maturity. There are readings of Romeo et Juliette and La Damnation de Faust that wrestle anew with the problems of the relationships between literature and music and--as Berlioz's music nearly always requires--with the problems of genre. Two views of Berlioz's Les Nuits d'ete are presented, showing when and why the work was conceived, and how it coheres. The practical question of Berlioz's metronome marks is here thoroughly studied for the first time. The volume closes with a novel piece, in dialogue form, by the elder statesman of Berlioz scholars, Jacques Barzun, who treats with exceptional grace the profound issues raised by Berlioz the man and musician.;
