Résumé

Introduction: This presentation delves into the profound relationship between coloratura, as a musical ornamentation, and the concept of Musical Subconscious, particularly focusing on the works of W. A. Mozart and G. Rossini. Methodology: Through the interdisciplinary lenses of philosophy and psychology, we aim to uncover the connections that exist within the human mind when exposed to intricate musical compositions. Results: Our objectives are to elucidate the role of memory, emotion, and creativity in shaping the musical experience, to analyze the distinct manifestations of the concept of musical subconscious in Mozart's and Rossini's compositions, and to explore the implications of psychology and philosophical-musical aesthetics of reception on our understanding of coloratura's impact. Conclusion: It is summarized that in this psychic symphony, the genius of Mozart and Rossini resonates like an echo that transcends not only space and time, but also the logos itself.
