The Music of Berlioz One of the most original composers of the 19th (or any) Century, Berlioz polarised public opinion then – and seemingly ever since – about the quality of his music.

To many contemporaries who were expecting “four-square” music he lacked melody, whereas Berlioz is often profoundly melodic, using long-phrased and distinctively individual melodies.
