Beyond Reason
Wagner contra Nietzsche"The author develops his new interpretative perspective with so much mastery and such highly reflective circumspection that he is sure to convince even some inveterate Nietzscheans. ... Karol Berger has written a great and momentous book, and only now the work begins. What more could one wish from the contemporary Wagner research?"

Mahler's Symphonic World
Music for the Age of Uncertainty“Deploying a brilliant range of literary and philosophical sources in tandem with innovative analyses of all that is most striking in Mahler’s symphonic world, Karol Berger grants the composer his greatest reach as a cultural force during a time when the once reassuring foundations of reason were rapidly giving way to the existential alarms of modernity. The book’s creatively designed structure stems from the imaginative supposition that Mahler composed one ideal symphony, emanating from resonant features shared by the movement types of his real symphonies.”

Musica Ficta
Theories of Accidental Inflections in Vocal Polyphony from Marchetto da Padova to Gioseffo ZarlinoThe main purpose of this book is to clarify the meaning and use of the conventions governing the practice of implied accidentals in vocal polyphony from the early fourteenth to the mid-sixteenth century - a problem which has fascinated musicologists for over a hundred years now. Musicians of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance did not think it was necessary to write down all accidentals; since some accidental inflections were implied by the musical context, performers made them whether or not they were notated. This practice imposes on modern readers of early music sources, the task of supplying all such conventionally implied accidental inflections and the successful achievement of this task depends on a knowledge and understanding of the conventions involved. Since the practice of implied accidentals can be understood only in a wider context of compositional, notational, and performing practice of the period, the book attempts to throw light on some aspects of these practices as well.
