Autobiography of Hector Berlioz: Volume 1 - Member of the Institute of France, from 1803 to 1869; Comprising his Travels in Italy, Germany, Russia, and England

Hector Berlioz (1803–69) was one of the most original and colourful composers of his generation. The autobiography reflects the man - exuberant, idealistic, opinionated and witty - and gives us a fascinating, first-hand, insight into his life. This first English translation from the original French was published in 1884.
