Berlioz frequently explored other worlds in his writings, from the imagined exotic enchantments of New Zealand to the rings of Saturn where Beethoven's spirit was said to reside. The settings for his musical works are more conservative, and his adventurousness has instead been located in his mastery of the orchestra, as both orchestrator and conductor. Inge van Rij's book takes a new approach to Berlioz's treatment of the orchestra by exploring the relationship between these two forms of control - the orchestra as abstract sound, and the orchestra as collective labour and instrumental technology. Van Rij reveals that the negotiation between worlds characteristic of Berlioz's writings also plays out in his music: orchestral technology may be concealed or ostentatiously displayed; musical instruments might be industrialised or exoticised; and the orchestral musicians themselves move between being a society of distinctive individuals and being a machine played by Berlioz himself.

Few aspects of Berlioz's style are more idiosyncratic than his handling of musical form. This book, the first devoted solely to the topic, explores how his formal strategies are related to the poetic and dramatic sentiments that were his very reason for being. Rodgers draws upon Berlioz's ideas about musical representation and on the ideas that would have influenced him, arguing that the relationship between musical and extra-musical narrative in Berlioz's music is best construed as metaphorical rather than literal - 'intimate' but 'indirect' in Berlioz's words. Focusing on a type of varied-repetitive form that Berlioz used to evoke poetic ideas such as mania, obsession, and meditation, the book shows how, far from disregarding form when pushing the limits of musical evocation, Berlioz harnessed its powers to convey these ideas even more vividly.

Les Quatre Saisons de Vivaldi imitent-elles les bruits du monde ? Peut-on penser l'histoire de la musique comme une libération progressive de la contrainte imitative, d'un ancrage naturel ou même naturaliste ? Beethoven, Berlioz, Schumann, Wagner ou Debussy constituent-ils les étapes qui aboutissent à une musique pure ? Le romantisme a fait de la musique le paradigme de l'Art en la concevant comme un langage délivré du poids du sens, un art abstrait » parce qu'autonome. Par la richesse savante des auteurs et des œuvres examinés, par les repères chronologiques et théoriques mis en lumière, l'anthologie proposée ici est une véritable histoire de la pensée sonore et de la pratique musicale du XVIIIe siècle au début du XXe siècle. Le mélomane, le musicologue, comme l'historien ou le philosophe de l'art, pourront évaluer d'un œil neuf les liens de l'imitation et de l'expression, la dispute de l'abstraction et les rapports que les arts entretiennent à la signification.

"This book is a collection of thirteen essays culled from the several books and hundreds of articles I have published and lectures I have given over the years (nearly fifty of them) on the life and work of Hector Berlioz. Organized in a chronological order determined by the essential subject matter of each essay, the book treats in detail some of composer's individual works (the Symphonie fantastique, the Symphonie funebre et triomphale, Les Nuits d'ete, La Mort d'Ophelie, Les Troyens, Beatrice et Benedict), some of the composer's relationships with his most famous contemporaries (Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner), some of the composer's most important concerns (his quest for an administrative position; his travels abroad; his fascination with English literature), the composer's most important book (Les Memoires d'Hector Berlioz), and some of his most important critics (from shortly after his death, from the twentieth century, and from the early part of the present century). In a brief Prelude, I explain the origins of the book, aspects of my career as a Berliozian, the main theme of much of my research ("politics," loosely defined), and some of the particular concerns to be treated in the texts that follow. In a brief Postlude, I treat the work of Berlioz's important critics based in part on an article of mine that appeared only in French; and I conclude with a note on the current state of Berlioz studies and some thoughts on the needs for the immediate future. Although this is essentially a collection of previously published material, it is my intention seriously to revise it in such a way as to avoid needless repetition over the course of the thirteen chapters, to bring up to date not every last detail but certain crucial matters, and to correct a number of errors and oversights. The material previously published in French and German will, in English, be entirely new"--
