He only depended on writing the music criticism, creating the musical production and giving the concerts to make his poor living during all of his life. And almost each of his family members had died before him, just left him alonely. He struggled hardly in lifetime to make his music could be understood and appreciated by the commom people. However, no matter he was alive or died and even today, people have entirely different evaluation about his musical productions.

Therefore, in order to understand and comprehend Berlioz and his muscial productions deeply, the author plans to see through the appearance to get at the essence from Berlioz's tragic musical productions to analyse the tragic contemplation which contain in the productions. And then further seek the reasons result in the tragic feature—Berlioz's miserable life experiences, the effect of tragic sense and aesthetics, and the influence of human atmosphere and artistic temperament of music in the first half of the 19th century in France.
