The author of this bronze mini-masterpiece is Mykhailo Kolodko. He said that the idea to erect a mini-sculpture of the genius composer Mozart came to him during a trip to Vienna. The mini-monument to Mozart was unveiled in Uzhgorod on his birthday, 27 January 2015.
The location of the little Mozart was not chosen by chance. It was placed in the cosy courtyard of the Tchaikovsky Uzhgorod Children’s Music School to inspire talented children (GPS: 48.623275, 22.299768).

It is difficult to overestimate the role of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in world music history. He was born a true prodigy. From the age of three, little Mozart was already playing the piano. He wrote his first compositions at the age of 6. During his short life, he composed more than 600 pieces of music in various genres. Nowadays, his melodies can be heard everywhere – on the phone, in films and, of course, in concert halls.
The fate of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s youngest son Franz Xaver is inextricably linked to Ukraine. For a long time he lived in Lviv. It was here that he composed all his works. In Lviv, Mozart the Younger founded the first secular choir, which later became the home of the St Cecilia Music Society and the Singing Institute, which became the first city music school. In 1826, the talented Franz Xaver performed one of his father’s most famous unfinished works, the Requiem, at a concert in St George’s Cathedral. Mozart the Younger often toured the Ukrainian lands with concerts, and the halls were always packed during his performances.
A romantic legend about this mini-sculpture is told by Nadiya Popadiuk in her book Uzhgorod – the World Capital of Mini-Sculptures. According to the legend, after one of Mozart’s concerts in Vienna, a distressed young man approached him and asked the composer to write a serenade for his beloved girl, as she refused to marry him. Mozart felt very sorry for the young man, but at the same time he was impressed by his courage, determination and ingenuity. He agreed not only to compose a work of love, but also promised to play it for the wayward girl. The man was very happy but also embarrassed because his beloved lived in Uzhgorod, but this intrigued Mozart even more, and they went to the city together. On the way, the man told him that the girl worked as a piano teacher, so Wolfgang suggested that they go to her music school right away. When they entered the classroom, the girl was speechless when she saw the genius composer Mozart sitting at her piano and playing a gentle serenade. Then there were declarations of love, a lot of wine was drunk in the Owl’s Nest, and a loud wedding was held, attended by Wolfgang Mozart himself. In 1945, a mini-sculpture of Mozart appeared in the courtyard of the Uzhgorod Music School, created by a local talented sculptor, the great-grandson of a couple in love who had once been married by the genius composer.
