Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14, in full Symphonie fantastique: épisode de la vie d’un artiste, English Fantastic Symphony: Episode in the Life of an Artist, orchestral work by French composer Hector Berlioz, widely recognized as an early example of program music, that attempts to portray a sequence of opium dreams inspired by a failed love affair. The composition is also notable for its expanded orchestration, grander than usual for the early 19th century, and for its innovative use of a recurring theme—the so-called ideé fixe (“fixed idea” or “obsession”)—throughout all movements. The symphony premiered in Paris on December 5, 1830, and won for Berlioz a reputation as one of the most progressive composers of the era. This symphonie consist of 5 movements:
    •    Rêveries – Passions (Reveries – Passions)
    •    Un bal (A Ball)
    •    Scène aux champs (Scene in the Fields)
    •    Marche au supplice (March to the Scaffold)
    •    Songe d'une nuit du sabbat (Dream of a Night of the Sabbath)
