Summary/Abstract: The interpretation of Feldek´s poem mozartov koncert (Mozart´ concert) from the collection Paracelsus (1973), originally a so-called translational interpretation, analyses the poem in detail. All meaningfull features – lexical, poetological, syntactical – of the poem as well as their mutual relations are taken into consideration to discover the meaning of the poem. Since the topic of the poem („legendary“ concert of W. A. Mozart in Bratislava), some toponyms and habits are very connected with the City of Bratislava, the „local meanings“ were taken into account. The interpretation results into the knowledge that mozartov koncert is the polemics of the local mythology, possibly it may be understood as a synecdoche if the polemics with wider social/political situation of the period („communism“).
