The ‘Symphonie Fantastique’ (Episode in the life of an artist) was heard for the first time in Paris on 5 December 1830. Still we can feel the beating of the creator’s heart at every performance. In the second movement ‘Un Bal’ the artist finds himself in the most varied situations – in the midst of the tumult of a party, in the peaceful contemplation of the beauties of nature but everywhere, in town, in the country, the beloved image appears before him and disturbs his peace of mind.
