 Rethinking Literary History -- Comparatively: Theory in Practice
Hugo von Hofmannsthal, for instance, spoke of an Austrian-centered spiritual Mitteleuropa well before the publication of Naumann's book, and he continued his attempts to define a new cultural identity for Austria and the surrounding areas with the founding of the Salzburg Festival and a steady stream of speeches and essays throughout the 1920s.
Mitteleuropa (and to a lesser degree Zentraleuropa and Central Europe) is a historically loaded term that focalizes the eastern part of Europe from a predominantly German perspective, with explicit or implicit hegemonic intentions.
A German-oriented Mitteleuropa concept is applicable in historical studies that stress the German and Yiddish cultures of the region, but the disappearance of these cultures makes a present- or future-oriented use of the term either vacuous or a euphemism for a new German imperialism.

 Mitteleuropa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mitteleuropa (Middle-Europe) is a German term approximately equal to Central Europe.
At least before the First World War, this part of Europe was politically and culturally dominated by the Holy Roman Empire/German Confederation and later its sucessors, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the German Empire, and the German language tended to be the most widely used lingua franca throughout this region.
Outside of Germany, the concept of Mitteleuropa may be best known for that policy of the Central Powers during World War I which assumed the creation of several buffer states in Central Europe, conquered from Imperial Russia and commonly viewed as puppet states.

 E.J.N. - MITTELEUROPA ENSEMBLE - Recensioni stampa "Frammenti"
The Mitteleuropa Ensemble is another one of those groups (The Art Ensemble of Chicago is another good example) that shine on stage but have a hard time harnessing that energy on record.
La Mitteleuropa, quella di Mario Fragiacomo, compie dieci anni: ancora alla ricerca di un verbo musicale segreto - probabilmente ben nascosto - che fa di quella piccola porzione di mondo un serbatoio di stimoli artistici che sanno sovrapporsi mantenendo tuttavia una loro precisa e distinta personalità.
Il Mitteleuropa Ensemble festeggia i dieci anni di attività con un album che ne riconferma lo spessore intellettuale e, soprattutto, una visione complessa del fare musica, tanto che in più occasioni (per esempio nel notevole Il paradiso sui tetti di Della Grotta) la costruzione offre l'ampiezza e il respiro di una grande orchestra.

Mitteleuropa Orchestra was a project commissioned in 1979 by the City Cultural Affairs department in Bologna.
Mitteleuropa gave its debut concert in Bologna in the summer of 1980, and in December of that same year recorded Mitteleuropa Live, an album taken from live recordings at the Testoni Theater in Bologna (a benefit concert for victims of the Irpinia earthquake).
Mitteleuropa Orchestra was born from my interest in expanding my composing experiences: so I got together a group of talented young musicians together with several big-name soloists for an orchestral project that I decided to call Mitteleuropa in homage to what for me was, at that time, the ideal center of my own cultural background.

GERMANY AND MITTELEUROPA An Introduction Peter J. Katzenstein T he return of central Europe is a sign of profound political change.
Like the name Adolf, the concept of Mitteleuropa had all but vanished from the political vocabulary in Bonn, Berlin and Vienna after Hitler's "thousand-year" empire went up in smoke and flames.

Its a relevant historic fact that Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Austria, and of course large parts of Russia and all the Balkan countries in the last 80 years faced quite radical, tragic, and different social, political, and economic experiences.
If there is anything truly common in Mitteleuropa that distinguishes the region from others it is not geographical, it is the almost-constant identity crisis that makes the difference.
This narrow Mitteleuropa path—well represented in the banal home movies—in the light of wars and radical social and cultural changes make a difference in representations.

Organized as sort of a last hurrah by the composer to bring together acknowledged master improvisers and emerging talents, The Mitteleuropa Orchestra lasted from 1980 to 1990, after which writing became Centazzo's primary focus.
The first four tracks on this exultant CD are a reissue in toto of a live concert given in Bologna in 1980 by a 13-piece version of the band.
Bologna's Mitteleuropa Orchestra brought energy to Centazzo's favorite stylist sensibilities with fluid timbres and chromatic nuances.

Questo MittelEuropa Ensemble, già attivo dal 1988 in un'area del jazz con forti commistioni con musica klezmer e quella popolare, non cela la direzione del proprio sguardo nella ricerca di ispirazione.
Il Mitteleuropa Ensemble del trombettista e flicornista Mario Fragiacomo e co. ci offre in questo cd scenari sonori ricchi di senso rappresentativo, con slancio on the border e un sound umbratile e dinamico.
Il 1988 segna la nascita del gruppo "Mitteleuropa Ensemble" che opera tuttora nell'area milanese ma è conosciuto in Europa fra i migliori esecutori di un jazz raffinato nel lavoro di scrittura e arrangiamento.

Graz has an essentially provincial feel but stand on any platform at the Hauptbahnhof, the city's main station, and you get the exhilarating feeling of being at the centre of things.
It's a lesson in the imperial history of Mitteleuropa, written in rail.
The aggressive economic and political expansionism of the Habsburgs and their Austro-Hungarian successors in the 19th century has left its mark on the sheer possibilities of European travel: trains draw into Graz station en route from Zagreb and Ljubljana in the south to Prague and Krakow in the north.

This book is not an apologia, but it is a reminder - lest those who curse his name forget - that Scruton did as much to bring down communism in eastern Europe as any of our politicians, diplomats and spies.
In his portrait of dissident Prague and a tribute to a Polish admirer, Basia, the reader senses that Scruton's spiritual home was - still is - the "sleeping cities" of Mitteleuropa, rather than Middle England.
The ideas against which Scruton fought are still potent.
