Hector Berlioz
Early Life and Education
Louis-Hector Berlioz was born on December 11, 1803, in La Côte-Saint-André, a small town in southeastern France. He was the eldest of six children (only three survived to adulthood) born to Dr.
Louis Berlioz, a physician, and Marie-Antoinette-Joseph Ramonet, a devout Roman Catholic.
Hector berlioz died
Berlioz’s father hoped Hector would follow in his footsteps and become a doctor. His mother’s deep Catholicism clashed with Berlioz’s later romantic, rebellious tendencies, which often included skepticism of organized religion.
Berlioz showed an early aptitude for music, teaching himself to play the flute and guitar since there was no piano in the family home.
Despite his love for music, his father pressured him to study medicine. At the age of nineteen, Berlioz reluctantly moved to Paris to attend medical school. He found the experience horrific, particularly the sight of human cadavers, and soon abandoned medicine to pursue his passion for music.
