Summary: In the frames of the project "W.A. Mozart and Croatian Musical Culture 1750-1820" the period of classicism/classics in Croatia is researched. Also, the topic of the investigation is the place of the entire Croatian musical culture in the context of the European entity. Under the idea of European complex, in the first place are meant lands and cultural spheres who are in direct contact with Croatia, i.e. Central-European complex in north and north-west, and Mediterranean, mostly Italian, complex in the coastal area. Of course, the closeness of the Ottoman empire is not neglected. The other aspect under consideration in the research is as follows: 1) activity of the "great master" - W.A. Mozart -, who is present with his works in the majority of Croatian collections (according to recent research); 2) parallel existence and activity of the lower part of the "Mozart-pyramide" - activity of the "Kleinmeister". Not only composers and their works, but also the whole infrastructure is encompassed in this project, i.e.: musical institutions, performance, the activity of maecenas and collectors, and also the relation to other arts.

Keywords: W.A. Mozart, musical culture, Croatia, period of classics/classicism, Central Europe, Mediterranean, "Kleinmeister", composers, musical institutions, performance, maecenas, collectors

Research goals: This project and its research are orientated towards: 1) investigations of the history of musical culture of the defined region (Croatia) and in a certain period (period of classics: 1750-1820). Quite a large scale of music material is preserved in Croatia, but it is not sufficiently explored; 2) defining of cultural circles in Croatia arround centripetal centres (Zagreb, Varaždin, Split, Dubrovnik, etc.); 3) defining of the place and role of the Croatian musical culture in the frames between Central Europe and Mediterranean and their interactions; 4) realization of the broader spectrum of musical repertory - registration of music works, their analysis, elaboration and preparing for modern performance; 5) writing a new synthesis - a survey of the history of musical culture in the period of classics - a work which would be a part of a more complex series of simmilar publications.
