Kallberg publishes widely on the music and cultural contexts of Chopin, most notably in his book, Chopin at the Boundaries: Sex History, and Musical Genre (Harvard University Press). His reconstruction of Chopin's first sketch for a Prelude in E-flat minor for the eventual set of Preludes, op. 28, attracted world-wide coverage in the press. Kallberg prepared a critical edition of Luisa Miller for The Works of Giuseppe Verdi, and also wrote the articles on "Gender" and "Sex, Sexuality" for The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 2d ed. His current projects include books on Chopin's nocturnes, on Chopin's things, and an investigation into the links between ideas of landscape and modernism, especially in Scandinavian music from the first half of the twentieth century. He serves on the Program Board (“Rada Programowa”) of the National Chopin Institute in Warsaw, Poland
