a| ‘What an incredible novel my life is!’ exclaimed Berlioz in his correspondence. What a novel, indeed, the life of this virtually self-taught musician who was to become the greatest composer of his time. A crazy, hectic, exhausting life, shared between so many women, so many jobs, so many errands throughout Europe and through the Paris of the theatre, the boulevards, the cafés and the Académie, so many unfailing friendships, from Liszt to Chopin, George Sand and Alexandre Dumas, so many humiliations and so many triumphs.A life entirely devoted to musical creation, celebrated with ardour, admiration but also critical erudition, as a lyric novelist and a knowledgeable music lover, Pierre-Jean Remy, for whom Berlioz represents the quintessence of the Romantic artist, in turn adulated, tormented, forgotten, drawing from his creative genius a colossal energy, equal to the myth he now embodies.
