Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dwight's Journal of Music, 1871, Vol. 29: A Paper of Art and Literature
A few particulars concerning the last days of his life will not be without interest for the musical world that laments his loss, nor for his sorrowing friends. Ever since the fall he had at Nice, on his return from Russia, the health of Berlioz, already much shaken, became worse and worse. Ile sometimes lost his memory, and forgot the names of his most intimate friends. Sometimes, too, he appeared to be deprived of all perception. It was in one of these moments, when his intellectual life seemed to have left him, that music worked a perfect miracle upon his soul.
