Par PESSON GERARD. Berlioz n'a pas aimé Rome, ni la villa Médicis, où il était parti à contre-coeur. Il trouvait la ville étouffante et provinciale, la Villa étriquée académique et trop seigneuriale. Il est donc allé chercher ailleurs ce qu'il a appelé son 'Italie sauvage', une Italie de ciels, de vents, de pluies, de ruines ensauvagées, de montagnes, de bourgades à flanc de roches.

La rhétorique de la virtuosité étant une valeur forte dans mes conduites dramatiques, la relation de conflit entre un soliste volubile et un ensemble est un élément narratif important dans mon langage.
