This page lists in chronological order all the letters of Berlioz that are cited on this site in English translation, together with the link to the page or pages where they are to be found. A separate page gives a similar listing of the letters cited in the original French text. The numbering is that of the complete edition of Berlioz’s letters (Correspondance Générale, 8 volumes, 1972-2003) details of which are to be found elsewhere on this site. Further references will be added in due course.

    Other pages give complete listings of the correspondence of Berlioz with Franz Liszt, Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein, and Richard Wagner. The correspondence between Berlioz and James Davison is reproduced on a separate page. See also the page Berlioz in London: friends and acquaintances.
