“Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.”
– Louis-Hector Berlioz,
composer (1803-1869)

The most famous symphony of Berlioz is strangely autobiographical. Obsessed with an actress, Berlioz pursued her for years until she married him, but the marriage quickly fell apart… Symphonie Fantastique is about an artist who is doomed by his obsession with a woman. Movement four, March to the Scaffold is a musical journey that spans a wide range of emotions. – Indy Beagle
