Hector Berlioz1803 – 1869

Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique (1830) tells of an artist in love who takes opium, dreams he has murdered his beloved, watches his own execution and ends up at a witches' sabbath. The beloved was real: the actress Harriet Smithson, whom he'd seen as Ophelia. She heard the symphony in 1832, and they married in 1833. It worked, which is not a recommended method.
