Composed in the summer of 1831 while in Rome, Berlioz's work was inspired by the Scottish rebel Rob-Roy MacGregor had to wait until the spring of 1833 for its premiere. The composer abandoned the piece shortly afterwards, but used some of the music material for his more famous Harold in Italy. An unabridged, digitally enhanced reprint from Volume 4 of Series II of the Berlioz Complete Works, edited by Charles Malherbe and Felix Weingartner, issued by Breitkopf and Härtel in 1900, this new study score presents the Berlioz's fascinating work in an easy-to-read format at a very reasonable price. In contrast to so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is actually readable. Matching full score and orchestral parts are now available from Serenissima Music, Inc.
