"Scène aux champs"
One evening in the countryside he hears two shepherds in the distance dialoguing with their 'ranz des vaches'; this pastoral duet, the setting, the gentle rustling of the trees in the wind, some causes for hope that he has recently conceived, all conspire to restore to his heart an unaccustomed feeling of calm and to give to his thoughts a happier colouring. He broods on his loneliness, and hopes that soon he will no longer be on his own But what if she betrayed him! This mingled hope and fear, these ideas of happiness, disturbed by dark premonitions, form the subject of the adagio. At the end one of the shepherds resumes his ranz des vaches; the other one no longer answers. Distant sound of thunder solitude silence ...

Dommage que ce chef d'oeuvre, venu peut-être trop tôt dans sa carrière, l'ait un peu anesthésié, l'amenant à ronronner... en tout cas à ne pas suffisamment se renouveler.

@yunolikemypie which is arguably a worse fate for him.

[yunolikemypie]

@courtneyloser He dreams he kills her. At the end of Scene in the Country he poisons himself in anguish, but instead of dying he falls into a coma where he is tortured by horrible dreams. In the first dream he dreams that he has killed his lover and is being hanged for it. In the second he dreams he is watching his beloved take part in a Witch's Sabbath.

[courtneyloser]

@yunolikemypie actually, he does kill his beloved. This is based on Berlioz's obsession with a Shakespearen actress named Smithson. In this movement, he kills her, and in the next one, he's executed for her murder. The final symphony has the beloved's theme so haunting because he's in Hell and she's there mocking him.

@Kuzya3k Uhh, he doesn't "kill" anyone other than himself. o.o

[lagriega527]

Ésto es lo que se siente cuando uno se enamora de alguien...

[Kuzya3k]

Supposedly at the end of this movement, is when he kills the girl.
