A favourite piece of classical
music for a change. And a salutary reminder that Berlioz was refused the Prix
de Rome because his music wasn’t conventional enough. I was once refused an
Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society for the same reason.
But genius will out, in spite of the Establishment’s best
efforts to subdue it – certainly in the case of Berlioz, though equally
certainly not in mine. In all fairness, that’s a reasonable reflection of our
relative claims to the status of genius. I’ve never been more than passably good
at anything.
