add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the musical concert "Berlioz." On maps, provided by critics and teachers, on which the author had to depend in his youthful exploration of the world of music "Berlioz" was marked off as a desert, the author first read about the Fantastic Symphony, review of Willem Mengelberg's first concert with the National Symphony in 1921, in which Richard Aldrich deplored the waste of effort on a hopelessly arid and banal work. The "Berlioz" melody is an exfoliating progression, with unexpected turns and exquisite inflections, which pivot on and are enriched by, equally unexpected and exquisite moves in the underlying harmony and with further enrichment by the instrumental colors.
