Essential Score

This score is essential for those interested in composition, theory, orchestration, or even just to examine. Berlioz is a master orchestrator. His teachings are still invaluable today! A must have for musicians!

Terrific score for a terrific piece.

Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique" is an extraordinary work, and having the score to use while one is preparing an orchestral part is simply invaluable....!!

Historic Masterpiece

If you want to know about how to write for the acoustic orchestra, this is a must have for your library of scores. Written in the early 1800's it still does not fail to astound. All the great composers from Rimsky-Korsakov to John Williams have cribbed from this piece.
