Recollections of artistic discovery, performance and travel mingle with love, disappointment and battles against indifference. Berlioz writes as passionately about the difficulties of bringing music before an audience as about the imaginative excitement of composing it. Translated and edited by David Cairns, this selection from his memoirs gives a vivid personal account of Romantic musical life and the temperament behind works such as the Symphonie fantastique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216442212691,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421128704339,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/648.jpg?v=1792703355","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/a-life-of-love-and-music-folio-society-648","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
