Just something to read before my journey begins...

My goal was to have all of Berlioz' Memoirs, Evenings with the Orchestra, and David Cairn's biography of Berlioz finished before my trip, but that definitely is not going to happen. EwtO is done, but I just received an overdue notification for Memoirs.

The title of this blog comes from a compilation of Berlioz' essays. It has a witty double meaning in French, but it's one of those things that doesn't make sense in English. Yes, that means I don't entirely understand it myself, but I like it. So there.

Oh...approximately 12 days, 1 hour, 15 minutes until takeoff. (exactly 8 days 19 hr, 25 min at edit time!)
