Abstracts

EN

At the beginning of the 19th century, Prague has become the centre of strong Mozart cult. The study focuses on one of its prominent demonstrations, the creation of the Mozart’s monument in the Klementinum building. It illuminates the motivation for its erection that was clearly rooted in the opposition to the activities of the Mozart’s native city of Salzburg. Based on the study of historical sources, it refuses the often-repeated assumption that Prague was the first to honour Mozart with a memorial place. On the other hand, the study also stresses the unique nature of this Prague Mozart’s monument which lies in the fact that the monument presents the artist’s personality as mediated and publicised through his work.
