Berlioz et Paris
The Actes Sud/Palazzetto Bru Zane collection â co-authored books, musicological essays, conference proceedings or archive documents â gives the floor to key actors and witnesses in the artistic history of the 19th century, as well as their present-day critics. Published at the rate of two to four books each season, the collection will examine many aspects of the French Romantic rĂ©pertoire and the musical life of this period, focusing on the careers of famous or neglected composers as well as the history of the concert, musical genres and performers.
