TINKERING WITH MOZART: DZIADY PART III AND DON GIOVANNIThe essay is devoted to a very specific and interesting example of intersemiotical link between the scene of the Senator’s ball in the third part of „Dziady” by A. Mickiewicz and „Don Giovanni” by W. A. Mozart. Analysis of some elements of the opera included by Mickiewicz in his text, in the way of ‘bricolage’, leads to the conclusion that the similarities in both compositions are not restricted to the construction level, but they also seem to have ideological consequences which have an impact on the overall force of the work by Mickiewicz. Its connection with Mozart’s and da Ponte’s work, even if visible in just a few parts of „Dziady”, is a guide to the simultaneous reading of both texts. This read develops their interpretation and understanding as well as expresses the idea of providence present in Mozart’s and Mickiewicz’s masterpieces.
