“MOZART AND SALIERI”: A STRUGGLE OF IDEALS
Abstract
DOI 10.18522/1995-0640-2024-3-131-144
The article is devoted to a “historical” thought in “Mozart and Salieri”. The analysis is based on the concept of the Enlightenment as A. S. Pushkin saw it. The ideas of the Enlightenment are analyzed based on the clash of ideals in music represented by Haydn and Gluck. The conflict between Mozart and Salieri is approached from the point of view of those collisions. Besides, the dispute about the established principles in music is compared to analogous disputes regarding the direction Russian literature of 19th century should have taken. A question of Salieri’s possible prototype is resolved against the background of the relationship between Pushkin and Katenin. To this end their articles and correspondence are analyzed.
Key words: Pushkin, “Mozart and Salieri”, Enlightenment, Veselovsky, poetry of reality, Katenin
