Berlioz and His Century: An Introduction to the Age of RomanticismMeridian Books, 1956 - 448 páginas In this abridgment of his monumental study, "Berlioz and the Romantic Century," the author recounts the events and extraordinary achievements of the great composer's life against the background of the romantic era. As the author eloquently demonstrates, Berlioz was an archetype whose destiny was the story of an age, the incarnation of an artistic style and a historical spirit. "In order to understand the nineteenth century, it is essential to understand Berlioz," notes W. H. Auden, "and in order to understand Berlioz, it is essential to read Professor Barzun." |
