De la fereastra unui etaj această arie de Mozart”. Sau poezia lui Stanisław Barańczak ȋntre muzică și politică

Abstract

The sketch presents an interpretation of Stanisław Barańczak poem Z okna na którymś piętrze ta aria Mozarta. It was translated into Romanian by Constantin Geambaşu and bears the title De la fereastra unui etaj această arie de Mozart. In the poem there is a quotation from the Cherubino’s aria from the 1st act of Mozart's opera The Marriage of Figaro. Barańczak was a translator of an opera libretto written by Lorenzo Da Ponte. The author of the sketch evokes the historical and political circumstances accompanying the spectacles of the comedy Beaumarchais, on the basis of which the libretto of the Mozart opera was created. In this context, she reads the Barańczak's poem pointing to the irremovable relationship of History and Art. A quote from Cherubino's aria allows us to see the gesture of the poet, who emphasizes the primacy of love in life and in Art.
