If you think the Berlioz story is insane it goes even deeper. He was so obsessed with Harriet at one point that he used to stalk her, book hotel rooms next to her so he could spy on her. His first mental breakdown was when he found out she was having an affair with her manager. And the reason why she didn’t reply to his letters and why they eventually divorced is because he spoke French and she spoke English, they literally couldn’t understand each other the entire time. The only reason she acc agreed to marry him is because he poisoned himself infront of her, she then in shock said she’d marry him, then he whipped out the antidote from his pocket. The fucking OG gaslighter. Also I’m a musician and I wish you would’ve talked about the 20th century cos there was some pretty crazy stuff that went on then but great vid!

The moral of Berlioz’s story is if you love someone enough, all you have to do is: - get rejected by them many times - write a song about them - fall in love with someone else - get cheated on by them - plot to kill them, their lover and their mother for some reason, along with killing yourself - fail to do any of that and go home - smoke opium and write more songs - have her attend your concert and fall in love with you And for good measure, cheat on her with the housemaid.

I would recommend reading Berlioz's Memoirs for the details of romances, it's pretty crazy in his own words. But besides that, his writing style is also really colorful and ornate, much in the early 19th-century style, and it can be pretty fun to read. Also, his description of the Paris music scene at the time of his youth is extremely interesting - for one thing, he makes a lot of references to the composers who were considered "the greats" at the time, and I guarantee you'll have probably never heard of any of them. One other anecdote, his description of the July Revolution of 1830 (which saw the overthrow of the Bourbon Monarchy and the rise of the Orléanist Monarchy) is really interesting - having gotten together his friends one afternoon, they started to sing the Marseillaise in public on a balcony in Paris, and after a while they realized about 1000 people were standing around listening to them, and Berlioz started conducting all of them to sing the anthem. It was such a sensational event that the by-now elderly composer of the anthem, Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, wrote a personal letter to Berlioz in thanks for the performance.

Lil fact, the Bible was never passed down solely by spoken word. It was in written form in Hebrew times (see the Dead Sea Scrolls), and was meticulously copied over and over, one penstroke at a time, by early Latin monks. As mentioned, the Latin version was widely misused, at the time by the Roman Church. The English translation was illegal because it undermined the church’s authority to say whatever they wanted, and they said it was because “common man cannot be trusted to interpret its meaning and we are divinely right” while they themselves were guilty of straight up deceit. Later, when Luther nailed his 95 thesis (95 grievances) to the door of a church, it started a chain of events ending in a huge split from the Catholic Church. Luther believed salvation couldn’t be bought with money, but given by God’s grace alone. It was only later as the printing press really took off did English copies of the Bible become easily accessible. however, even before that, the students of the original translator (a teacher at old oxford) (who’s name I know I’ll spell wrong so I won’t try) copied it over and over and distributed it across the region, and even foreign countries. The Bible has been in written form from the start.

You guys don't get it he covers historical events with modern day linguistics and comparison to make us simpletons understand

[@thelordofcringe]

​@V742 technically a lot of historians now talk exclusively online. Unless you're a professor, government, or work for some organization, a lot of historians now do everything online. Journal articles, books, basically like 70% of scholarly work has been done online the last decade or so.

One of my favorite Mozart quote is when he described operetta as "certain dramatic abortions, those miniature compositions in which one finds only cold songs and couplets from vaudeville."

[@ExeloMinish]

Mozart is always funny, he's like _the_ "classy orchestral music" guy but the man himself had no filter and the humor of a twelve-year-old

I majored in History almost a couple decades ago. I only truly started enjoying the subject after stumbling upon the Internet Historian channel. EDIT: loved Henry and Father Godwin's cameo!

[@Schlgrl_]

i spent countless hours studying Berlioz in Uni and still had difficulty explaining his story. Now I’m seeing Internet Historian explain it all perfectly in under 10 minutes. Another interesting thing is what a true underdog that guy was. He got trodden on by the upper academics a ridiculous amount of times for being too metal before he hit it big. He was also severely mentally ill and got prescribed a bath to cure it.

[@apanickedseagull]

I mean a bath can do wonders

[@eyesofthecervino3366]

The shade he threw at Sniperwolf. . . . XD

[@HyperMario64]

He's one of the few to do it right. You have to actually turn the ad segment into content so that people do not skip it. Bruce Rivers is also good at doing it repeatedly (more of a daily upload format), he often throws a joke around the sponsor product at the expense of one of the parties covered in the video. Rarely longer than 30 seconds and it works. I skip most other sponsor segments.
