His research focuses on the Classical period, particularly Mozart and performance practice. He has written extensively on the issues of authenticity surrounding the works of Leopold Mozart and his son, Wolfgang. Other publications of his deal with Mozart's chamber music, life in Salzburg, biography and his life in contemporary documentation as well as Cole Porter.[citation needed]

In 1997, Eisen was terminated by New York University after a student filed a lawsuit against the university alleging sexual harassment. The university had previously reprimanded him after complaints from four other students.[4][5][6]
