Despite his reputed indifference to music, Freud sometimes refers knowledgeably to it. This paper suggests that the Freudian unconscious is partly modeled on the music of late Romanticism in association with representations of feminine desire. Freud’s Dora case and Richard Strauss’s opera Salome converge on a fin-de-siècle concept of a musical unconscious.Downloads
