Abstract

The article aims to offer an approach to the theme of religiosity in Mozart’s music. Through some famous examples, it will try to demonstrate how all Mozart’s works can be considered an expression of a religiosity understood as an attempt to capture and express, consciously or unconsciously, a metaphysical reality.
