The essay by the great Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard "The Immediate Erotic Stages or the Musical-Erotic" (1843), which is being translated for the first time into Greek, is dedicated to the genius of Mozart, particularly to his masterpiece, the opera Don Giovanni (1787).
Kierkegaard's essay engages in a philosophical exploration of Mozart's music rather than focusing on the libretto. Therefore, it concentrates on the personality of the musical Don Giovanni, in the sense of the immediate heart-taker rather than the contemplative seducer.
For the Danish philosopher, Don Giovanni (which is an evolution of Molière's Don Juan) embodies the spirit of sensuality in the world. According to him, Mozart was the first and last composer who managed to capture this dimension of Don Giovanni so masterfully in the eponymous work.
