About This Item

Paris: Jules Labitte, 1844. First Edition. Hardcover. Three quarter gilt lettered black morocco, marbled boards and marbled endpapers. 2 Vols. Very good. 422, 370 pages. 21.5 x 13 cm. It was this period in his life (1840's) Berlioz spent much of his time making music outside France. He struggled to make money from his concerts in Paris, and learning of the large sums made by promoters from performances of his music in other countries, he resolved to try conducting abroad. His extensive German tour in twelve German cities received enthusiastic receptions. The German public was better disposed than the French to his innovative compositions, and his conducting was seen as highly impressive. He extravagantly praised Beethoven's symphonies, and Gluck's and Weber's operas, and scrupulously refrained from promoting his own compositions. One quire in Vol. I toned, balance of interior clean and bright. Text in French.
