From Library Journal
In clear and graceful prose, the eminent professor of music at the Technische Universitat Berlin has gathered together the tendencies leading to 19th-century music and further articulated what we receive today as part and parcel of this music, placing it within its historical, social, literary, and geographic context. With penetrating examination, he has illumined and disentangled all the connections that make 19th-century music what it is, enlivening his points by the many pictorial and musical illustrations. An important book for its scholarship, sweep, and readability. Essential for music libraries.

George Martin, Opera Quarterly
"This is a remarkable book. . . . Dahlhaus succeeded in writing a general History that is coherent, fresh, and perceptive. . . . For ideas about nineteenth-century music, especially opera, ideas which spill over into our own century, this is a History without a peer."
