In 1858-9 Berlioz serialised some parts of his Memoirs in the Paris weekly Le Monde Illustré before they were eventually published posthumously as an integrated book in 1870 (see the page Hector Berlioz: Mémoires d’un musicien). This page reproduces what in the Memoirs forms Chapter 11, as it appeared in issue No. 86 of Le Monde Illustré, published in Paris on 4 December 1858. The reader will notice some differences between the text here and the final version in the Memoirs.
