Description

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music has long been shrouded in mystery. Philippe Sollers offers a unique perspective on this enigmatic composer, exploring the enduring appeal of his work and the public perceptions that have shaped it. Through a psychoanalytical lens, Sollers examines Mozart's seven last great operas, revealing the complex relationships between characters and the driving forces behind his creative output. This insightful analysis also delves into themes of constancy, prodigy, freedom, and religion, shedding light on the composer's inner world. Sollers' own experiences and affinities with the creative geniuses of 18th-century Europe are woven throughout this thought-provoking work, creating a rich tapestry that not only illuminates Mozart's life but also reflects the author's own yearning for utopian freedom.
