Berlioz, Hector. (1803 - 1869). Original "Symphonie Fantastique" Program. Original literary programme for the second performance of the Symphonie fantastique together with its sequel Le Retour à la vie [Lélio], on 30 December 1832. 4 pp. 8vo, in perfect condition.
NBE 16, PProg6. Holoman p. 92. Extremely rare, this being the only recorded copy (formerly in the Macnutt Collection).
This is the literary programme of the work, which Berlioz distributed to the audience at the first and early performances of the symphony in order that it could be fully understood. His text varied between the successive programmes in order to reflect the varying states of his turbulent relationship with Harriet Smithson - with whom, after several years, he had been on very close terms since the first joint performance of these two works on 9 December 1832, three weeks earlier than the present concert.
