Description
The article is devoted to the psychological and cognitive problem of “stalled ambitions” on the example of Mozart-son. The research relevance of Franz Xaver Mozart is due to the further study of his activities spheres in Lviv, as well as respond to events concerning Mozart’s name, which is associated with the Festival MozArt. The purpose of the article is to review a range of Mozart-son’s name in the context of his opera-activity in Lviv, the influence of Mozart father’s name, as well as in the context of “stalled ambitions” of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Munich. The scientific novelty of this work is aimed at exploring new perspectives of “cult of Mozart-son” in Lviv and intends to expand the orbit of European cities, actively developing “cult of Mozart” (Salzburg, Vienna and Munich). In the work such research methods were applied as cultural-historical, when analyzing the art of Mozart-son and Mozart-father in the context of artistic development of Munich and Lviv, comparative, when analyzing the conditions of art being of Mozart's-son and Mozart-father heritage, biographical, psychological and cognitive in studies of "Mozart-son and Opera, Mozart-son and Mozart ", "Mozart and women". Life of Mozart-son was burdened with the serious psychological conflicts. On the one hand it was the dilemma of the son-father, son-mother and the severe geometry of "love triangle" on the other hand. The drama of forbidden love to the wife of a provincial Advisor reaches the comparisons with Liebestod (German, love-death) by Wagner. "Tristan and Isolde" owes its emergence into the light of unrealized love Wagner to Mathilde Vezendonk. The reason of unconscious and perhaps conscious attempts of Mozart-son to escape from himself could be the glory of the father-genius as well as the passion for Jozefine, sublimated in his art works. Isn’t it a plot for new opera about “Lviv” Mozart? The mystery of the creative crisis turning into the renaissance, insanity, misery, disappointment, creative sublimation puts Franz Xaver Mozart on an equal footing with such composers as Robert Schumann, Franz Schubert, Richard Wagner, Gaetano Donizetti, Gustav Mahler, poets and artists Nikolaus Lenau, Friedrich Gelderlinom, Adolf Velfli, Louis Sutterom, Robert Valzerom, and many others.
