The book, "New Letters of Berlioz 1830-1868," with the French texts as well as Jacques Barzun's translations, turns out to be one of the Columbia University Bicentennial Editions and Studies. Which is to say that it turns out to be not just a volume of Berlioz letters but a sample of Columbia scholarship. This doesn't mean just the profusion of notes, footnotes, additional notes, lists, etc. It means also a selection of only new letters, and for the most part letters concerned with negotiations and puns and arrangements for publication and performance and other business-letters which lend themselves to combining with Barzun's notes to make "a small-scale biography of Berlioz."
