A bold innovator in the 19th century, Berlioz was a musical dramatist with an output that is less familiar than it should be and often misunderstood. His most famous and popular pieces are the thrilling programmatic symphonies, the Symphonie fantastique and Harold en Italie. The "dramatic symphonies" Roméo et Juliette and La Damnation de Faust are both driven by conflict and excitement, which contrast his piercing, long-limbed melodies and startling harmonic shifts. Berlioz's strongly profiled musical style possesses high rhythmic energy, and manic outbursts that are instantly identifiable as his, and he is widely acknowledged as one of the most innovative and effective orchestrators in history. 600 10 Berlioz, Hector, |d1803-1869 |xCriticism and interpretation. |=^A19743 830 0 Unlocking the masters series ; |vno. 34. |=^A590063 994 C0 |bERE 596 3 998 5720093
