The second movement of "Symphonie Fantastique" evokes a subtle and elegant dance, inspired by the English actress Harriet Smithson, whom Berlioz met during a performance of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and with whom he fell madly in love at first sight. A recorded version is available on "Clarnival - French Touch".
