text: A contemporary of Adolphe Sax, Louis Hector Berlioz, the French composer responsible for Symphonie Fantastique and Grande Messe des Morts — the latter admittedly a pretty depressing requiem that could drive clowns to thoughts of suicide — said of the saxophone: "Its principal merit in my view is the varied beauty of its accent, sometimes serious, sometimes calm, sometimes impassioned, dreamy or melancholic, or vague, like the weakened echo of an echo, like the indistinct plaintiff moans of the breeze in the woods and, even better, like the mysterious vibrations of a bell, long after it has been struck; there does not exist another musical instrument that I know of that possesses this strange resonance, which is situated at the edge of silence.
