Abstract
- The article discusses the less attention received by the symphony "Harold en Italie," by Hector Berlioz. Topics discussed include the poem "Childe Harold," by George Gordon Byron, the consideration of the subtext of "Harold en Italie" as the aftermath of the military leader Napoléon Bonaparte, and the revision of the tradition of grand public ceremonies by French King Louis Philippe.
