Abstract :The process of musical creation involves the artist bringing conflicts from the unconscious into consciousness based on their biological, cultural, and psychological experiences. In other words, the transformation of psychic resources into tangible sound arrangements intricately intertwined with cultural aesthetics plays a fundamental role in the formation of music. This study aims to contribute to the analysis of Western art music by emphasizing the interaction between musical creation and the unconscious through Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic methods. Simultaneously, in this regard, it holds significance as an interdisciplinary and explanatory research field that can guide the generation of meaning towards the inner worlds of musicians.
