Excerpt from Autobiography of Hector Berlioz, Member of the Institute of France, From 1803 to 1865, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising His Travels in Italy, Germany, Russia, and England

The notices of my life which have from time to time appeared, are so crowded with errors and inaccuracies as at length to suggest to me that I myself should record those portions of my agitated and laborious career which may be interesting to the lovers of art. Such a retrospective study will afford me the opportunity of giving my Opinion on the difficulties which at present beset the career of a composer, and of tendering some useful advice to my brethren.
