Following the composition of Harold en Italie for viola and orchestra in 1834, Berlioz began work on the opera Benvenuto Cellini, which subsequently failed on its first performances at the Paris Opera in 1838. Berlioz withdrew the opera for substantial revision, and from some of the discharged material he later fashioned this Reverie et Caprice (in versions both for violin and orchestra and violin and piano). Dedicated to Berlioz's violinist friend Alexandre-Joseph Artot, the price was quickly taken up by several celebrated violinists of the time, including David, Joachim and Wieniawski, and was played all over Europe.This new edition for violin and piano, by the musicologist and performer Neil Heyde, is based on the first edition of the score.

Germany - a land of rivers and mountains, folklore and fantasy. A land where magnificent castles stand guard over the Rhine, where the creatures of fairytales might still lurk in caverns and forests - and where the spirit of Romanticism was born. Above all, a land of music - from the comforting pastoral landscapes of Bach to the great Romantic composers: Mendelssohn's warm lyricism, the eerie twilit world of Weber's Magic Huntsman, who sells his sole to the Devil, Schumann's majestic evocation of the Rhenish landscape contrasted with his charming vignette of peasants, soldiers and ghostly horseman, the passionate melodies of List. And the greatest Romantic of them all - Richard Wagner, whose vast musical universe encompassed tales of medieval chivalry, giants, gods, heroes, dwarfs, magic love potions and flying horsewoman. Play the music, and imagine yourself on the banks of the sparkling Rhine, in a land of magic and mystery.
