Symphonie Fantastique is the most famous work of French composer Hector Berlioz (1803-1869), released in 1830. The piece was a major game changer for Romanticism, as it developed the approach of Ludwig van Beethoven's sixth symphony, the Pastorale, to a programmatic symphony that even contained a plot told in musical pictures, anticipating the Tone Poem of Franz Liszt as well the Leitmotif of Richard Wagner.The plot consists of five acts, akin to theatre. The story was written down by Berlioz himself and included in the program of the premiere.1. An artist is struggling with himself. He meets his Love Interest and falls head over heels, the Leitmotif or Idée fixe is established here. 2. The artist meets her at a ball and her ironic flirting is too much for him. 3. The artist flees into the countryside and has some beautiful calm hours. His Love Interest keeps haunting him, represented by the idée fixe bursting back into the score, so he decides to commit suicide by an opium overdose. 4. In his dying thoughts, he imagines being decapitated in a public execution for killing her inside his fantasies. Played for Laughs musically with a huge march sequence. 5. In a deeper layer of his dying thoughts (think of twice-dead), he imagines his Love Interest participating in a witches' feast, represented in a grotesque parody of the idée fixe juxtaposed with the Dies Irae motif.The symphony is said to be an expression of Love Hurts on Berlioz' part, who fell madly in love with the actress Harriet Smithson, whom he eventually married after she listened to this musical love letter, but it became an unhappy marriage for both sides and they divorced again.This piece provides examples of: | |
