Concerning musicians Hector Berlioz originality it was remarked more than once that there is nothing in his music that can be recognized as being derived from his predecessors and on the other hand that nothing characteristic of Berlioz is to be heard in the music of his successors. Listening to the early "Les Francsjuges" overture as it is played on London LL-1297 by Albert Wolff and the Paris Conservatory Concerts Orchestra listeners perceive for the first time how both the agitated opening and the so-called second subject of the allegro strongly resemble the writing of Max Weber, whom Berlioz worshipped.
