Features: This book records the interesting life stories and success experiences of Berlioz, appreciates his representative musical works, and introduces some rare CD editions for music enthusiasts to refer to when collecting. Berlioz (1803-1869) was a French composer, conductor, and music critic. He was a major representative of the French Romantic music school. His works are grand in scale, heroic in spirit, rich in technique, and complex in structure. They changed the formalized and abstract forms in classical music that lacked real-life content, giving programmatic music narrative and visual characteristics. With the help of text, he explained the main changes in the content to the audience, hence earning the title "founder of programmatic symphony."
