The letters span the years 1819 to 1868 and offer a unique insight into the life and mind of one of the great Romantic composers of the 19th century. The collection includes letters to family members, friends, and colleagues, as well as love letters to various women, including his first wife, Harriet Smithson. The letters cover a wide range of topics, from Berlioz's struggles as a young composer to his experiences traveling and performing throughout Europe. They also reveal his passionate and often tumultuous relationships with women, as well as his thoughts on music, literature, and politics. Overall, Lettres Intimes provides a fascinating glimpse into the private world of one of the most innovative and influential composers of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
