Endless controversy
After Berlioz's death, music critics from all over Europe rushed to comment on his works and life. Some people thought that he was just a mediocre weirdo. Some people believe that he has had a profound impact on the music industry. Berlioz can trigger debates with mixed reviews from people around the world, both before and after his death. In fact, it is because of his unique vision and mission that he drove this music giant to do experiments that others did not dare to try, and finally finally Leave behind these pointer works.
In Berlioz’s era, the French music scene was under the influence of conservatives, so Berlioz’s crazy genius was only appreciated outside France. For example, musicians such as Liszt, Wagner, Paganini and the New Russian School of Music have the greatest resonance with Berlioz's works. Berlioz's original "title music" was greatly promoted by Liszt, and later became a feature of Romanticism. The technique of "fixed musical ideas" was developed by Wagner to develop a "leading motive" pattern.
Although Berlioz has been severely criticized, his music can definitely withstand the eroding of time. He, the writer Victor Hugo and the painter Delacroix are known as "the three greatest musicians". "The French Romantic", his life was heated by music and love, and there was a driving force burning in his blood, constantly driving him to move forward beyond everything contemporary. The thunderous symphony certainly gave Berlioz an immortal status in the history of music, but his other works, such as operas, overtures and vocal pieces, are also extraordinary masterpieces. Until now, these works are still performed in various concerts, and Berlioz's outstanding talent has traveled through time and space to give endless entertainment to music lovers.
