According to the passage, Berliozís family ----.

The French composer Hector Berlioz was the
outstanding representative of romanticism in music.
The son of a country doctor, he was sent in 1822 to
attend the medical school in Paris. Though musically
quite uneducated, he had already conceived a
passion for music. Therefore, he soon threw up his
medical studies, whereupon his allowance was
stopped by his family, and after a short period of
private lessons, he was admitted to the conservatoire
in 1823. Berlioz was a typical romantic; he was also a
great admirer of both Shakespeare and Beethoven
and they were both important in the development of
his taste.
