La musique de Plaisir d’amour de Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (sur un poème de Jean-Pierre Florian, auteur de contes romantiques du XVIIIe siècle qui passionna Berlioz dans son enfance) fut composée vers 1859 pour un petit orchestre (flûtes, clarinettes, cors et cordes), la partie vocale étant interprétée ici par l’alto solo.

Seine Einrichtung des Liedes Plaisir d’amour von Jean-Paul-Égide Martini (auf ein Gedicht von Jean-Pierre Florian, einem Autor des 18. Jahrhunderts, dessen romantischen Geschichten Berlioz als Kind verfallen gewesen war) schrieb Berlioz 1859 für ein kleines Orchester aus Flöten, Klarinetten, Hörnern und Streichern; die Singstimme übernimmt hier die Solobratsche.
