Excerpt from Carl Maria Von Weber, Vol. 1 of 2: The Life of an Artist With Weber's painful position at the court Of Saxony, his son, now a high government Official in the same country, had necessarily to deal with a certain degree of delicacy; but there is no doubt, at the same time, that he has painted with a bold and firm hand the period of his father's unmerited and humiliating treatment by a portion of the Saxon court.

Stephen C. Meyer details the intricate relationships between the operas Der FreischÃ1⁄4tz and Euryanthe, and contemporary discourse on both the "Germany of the imagination" and the new nation itself. In so doing, he presents excerpts from a wide range of philosophical, political, and musical writings, many of which are little known and otherwise unavailable in English. Individual chapters trace the multidimensional concept of German and "foreign" opera through the 19th century. Meyer's study of Der FreischÃ1⁄4tz places the work within the context of emerging German nationalism, and a chapter on Euryanthe addresses the opera's stylistic and topical shifts in light of changing cultural and aesthetic circumstances. As a result, Meyer argues that the search for a new German opera was not merely an aesthetic movement, but a political and social critique as well.
