Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique and precocious music stars
The article reflects on Berlioz and the Symphonie Fantastique as a personal, autobiographical work tied to his romance with Harriet Smithson and Camille Moke, detailing its genesis, public reception, and changes in intent from revenge to tribute. It then discusses a New York season featuring a gifted child musician and warns against exploiting precocious talent for money, citing Mozart and Hofmann as contrasted examples.
