University of California Press Nineteenth-Century Music
This magnificent survey of the most popular period in music history is an extended essay embracing music, aesthetics, social history, and politics, by one of the keenest minds writing on music in the world today. Dahlhaus organizes his book around 'watershed' years - for example, 1830, the year of the July Revolution in France, and around which coalesce the 'demise of the age of art' proclaimed by Heine, the musical consequences of the deaths of Beethoven and Schubert, the simultaneous and dramatic appearance of Chopin and Liszt, Berlioz and Meyerbeer, and Schumann and Mendelssohn. But he keeps us constantly on guard against generalization and cliche. Cherished concepts like Romanticism, tradition, nationalism vs. universality, the musical culture of the bourgeoisie, are put to pointed re-evaluation. Always demonstrating the interest in socio-historical influences that is the hallmark of his work, Dahlhaus reminds us of the contradictions, interrelationships, psychological nuances, and riches of musical character and musical life. "Nineteenth-Century Music" contains 90 illustrations, the collected captions of which come close to providing a summary of the work and the author's methods. Technical language is kept to a minimum, but while remaining accessible, Dahlhaus challenges, braces, and excites. This is a landmark study that no one seriously interested in music and nineteenth-century European culture will be able to ignore.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Europäische Romantik in der Musik: Band 2: Oper und symphonischer Stil 1800–1850. Von E.T.A.Hoffmann zu Richard Wagner
Streifzug durch die Geschichte der Musik. Carl Dahlhaus und Norbert Miller erläutern, wie sich die traditionelle Opernform und der neue sinfonische Stil seit 1770 gegenseitig befruchten. Die Geschichte dieser Symbiose ist die Geschichte der klassisch-romantischen Musik als eine einheitliche Epoche. An ausgewählten Ereignissen werden die Umbrüche ebenso wie die kaum merkbaren Veränderungen sichtbar gemacht. Der zweite Band setzt in der Epochenmitte bei den Opern Webers und Spontinis ein. In Kapiteln über Rossinis Pariser Karriere, über Meyerbeer und die grand opéra, über Berlioz' und Schumanns Versuche einer "Opéra de concert" und über Verdis und Wagners musiktheatralische Neuerungen gehen die Autoren der Ästhetik der romantischen Oper und der Idee der symphonischen Dichtung auf den Grund.

University of California Press Between Romanticism and Modernism: Four Studies in the Music of the Later Nineteenth Century
Carl Dahlhaus here treats Nietzsche's youthful analysis of the contradictions in Wagner's doctrine (and, more generally, in romantic musical aesthetics); the question of periodicization in romantic and neo-romantic music; the underlying kinship between Brahms' and Wagner's responses to the central musical problems of their time; and, the true significance of musical nationalism. Included in this volume is Walter Kauffman's translation of the previously unpublished fragment, "On Music and Words", by the young Nietzsche.

The University of Chicago Press The Idea of Absolute Music
With a characteristically broad and provocative treatment, Dahlhaus examines a single music-aesthetical idea from various historical and philosophical viewpoints.

Morgan, Yale University Carl Dahlhaus (1928-1989) is the author of a highly influential body of works on the foundations of music history and aesthetics.
