Mozartian (Dutch)


Mozartiana - a two-part series of poems by the Czech poet Vladimír Holan, published entirely in 1963. He was devoted to the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It is a tribute to the poet for the artist, whom Holan considered the greatest creator in the history of music. The first series of poems about Mozart was written in 1937, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Prague premiere of the Don Giovanni opera. It was printed in the volume Záhřmotí in 1940. Publishing the whole cycle Holan returned to the publishing market after a longer break, caused by the political situation in the years of Stalinism. Translation

Marian Grześczak translated the fragments of the Mozart cycle into Polish. The translation was published in the selection of Holana's cries of symbols, published in 1978. From the first part of the cycle Grześczak chose poems III (Shadow written for soprano) and VII (black messenger), from the second part he presented works I, VII, IX (Don Juan), XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XIX, XXVII (La belle dame sans merci), XXIX (marked †) and XXX (Bertramka). Fragments of the second Mozartian series in Grześczak's version were also included in the volume Poezje, selected Holana from the same year.
