On this day 222 years ago, December 11, 1803 (October 28, 1803), the French musician Berlioz was born. Hector Berlioz (December 11, 1803 - March 8, 1869) Once, a young music lover came to the house of the famous composer Berlioz, he played his own tune, asked Berlioz's opinion, and wanted to be his teacher. Unexpectedly, Berlioz listened to the performance and said: "I tell you without concealment that you have no musical talent at all, and I give you this conclusion so happily that you can give up music quickly and find another way out!" When the young man heard this, it was really cold from head to toe. With shame and anxiety, he walked out of Berlioz's house with a dejected head. When he went to the street, he saw Berlioz sticking his head out of the building window and shouting to him loudly: "I don't change what I just said, but I have to add that the masters said the same thing to me. Remember that you are exactly the same as I was, you know, exactly the same!" The young man was inspired by this. After continuous efforts, he finally became a young composer. It is true that Berlioz did not show any special musical talent in his adolescence. He achieved his success through hard study and innovation. On December 11, 1803, Berlioz was born into the family of a doctor in the town of LaC? te-Saint-André in the French department of Isère. He attended the Conservatory of Paris, but did not graduate. He also studied music in Rome. It was not until 1826, when he was 23 years old, that he wrote "The Greek Revolutionary Cantata" out of sympathy for the bourgeois-democratic revolution and the national liberation movement, and gained a little reputation. But he had a tenacious enterprising spirit. He was a romantic composer dedicated to the creation of title music in the history of Western music. In 1830, he composed the "Symphony of Fantasy" (subtitled "Interlude in the Life of an Artist"), which was the first title symphony. Berlioz wrote a lot in his life. In 1840, he wrote the "Funeral and Triumph Symphony" for the unveiling of the Monument to the Revolutionary Martyrs in France in July 1830, as well as the symphony "Romeo and Juliet" and the mystery "The Fall of Faust", all of which are known for their novel orchestrated effects. Died in Paris on March 8, 1869, at the age of 66. Hector Berlioz (in old age)
