Salieri describing the music of Mozart

[chrisPbacon0808]

lol how do trolls get to a video like this??

[MochaWithCheese]

Which piece of music does he talk about here? I can't find it. D:

[Msut]

@MochaWithCheese Serenade No. 10 in B-Flat Major, K. 361, _Gran Parti(

[amazingdany]

It's a beautiful description.

[THEMUSICALDREAMER100]

Salieri said it all. Nothing more to add.

[Motaesgood]

Sounds like Marshall

[Maarrii94]

I'm actually glad I saw this before the HIMYM episode.

[zegermans750]

Sounds like he's describing the best burger in new york

[streberchen]

@zegermans750

ive watching this episode in this moment and must think to the movie:D

[joaotiagodias]

@zegermans750 XD i laughed my ass off when i saw that

[Rickriquinho]

I just love this scene!

[Beastofcookies]

this movie was brilliant....definately going to watch it again. Are there any amazing movies about any other famous musicians i shoul watch?

[MrThreshold2009]

@Beastofcookies Beethoven was pretty good - it has Gary Oldman as Mr. B. Moments of genius in it but it loses its way at places.

[Nietsro]

@Beastofcookies Cornelis. Walk the line. Ray.

[carterfelderva]

@anotherdumbcomment Shut the fuck up.

[cbygonaise]

If I could act (which I can't!), I would love to have played the role of Salieri. Perfect.

[doublethumpbass89]

"ok so you wanna make some BIGGGGGG bucks!!!" lol

sorry i had to quote him in scarface

[doublethumpbass89]

my friends are into rap music..i showed them this movie..and it blew them away

[Rrriesgo]

My favourite scene ever. Thanks for uploading.

@unseenbeach Thank you =)

[adonelahi]

I need that !!!

[BeBopDeluxe85]

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the greatest composer that ever existed. followed by Beethoven , and Bach.

[revuelta]

My 4° favorite movie ever...

[smorgs27]

"Sweetened into a phrase of such DELIGHT. " - Ron Burgundy

[EGarrett01]

The real tragedy of this is that Salieri is so focused on the quality of Mozart's music that he doesn't appreciate the quality of his own ear. One of the running themes of the movie is that no one can truly appreciate how good Mozart is except Salieri, but Salieri only feels depressed that he hadn't written the music himself.

[waterlilyqueen]

@EGarrett01 That's what I was thinking too. In a way, Salieri was the lucky one of the two: He was rich, respected by the important men, popular with audiences and a talented composer in his own right.

Mozart may have been more talented but he was an obnoxious guy who wasn't very well-liked and who struggled with money.

Unfortunately, Salieri was too consumed with jealousy to realize that.

[BeBopDeluxe85]

@EGarrett01 I agree, Salieri's potrayed knowledge and mastery of music in this movie is unequaled. Saliieris expression and appreciation for Mozart's music was one of the best themes of the movie.

[milten09]

loved when they did this in How i met your mother about marshall's hamburger

[jadedfeelings21]

at 1:13 salieri looks like squidward

[gwendolynko]

one of my most fav scenes and Mozart pieces!

[CartmanDaMan]

Family Guy



[NiggaChowder]

best comedy known to man

[manco82]

Amazing acting, F. Murray Abraham really earned that Oscar.

[milten09]

this was referenced in how i met your mother, when marshall describes the best hamburger in new york <3

[newportexec]

studiolegdl - this is K 361 the "Gran Partita," 3rd or 4th movement -- one of my all-time favorites

[KingDega1]

@newportexec Thank you! I had a hard time finding this one. ):

[jaysonvalentine]

Abraham may give the greatest acting performance in cinema in this film.

[anon94707]

@jaysonvalentine I have to agree. So many great actors and movies but he nails it so well here.

[studiolegdl]

do someone know what song this is?

[theangrypersian]

Maybe the reason this fictional Salieri never understood Mozart's brilliance was that he was too busy trying to link everything to god ... hmmm?

[ryan82scott]

@theangrypersian Antonio Salieri did exist, and was a real composer- it is his relationship to Mozart that is debated. Still, I can't shake the feeling that your real intention was anti-theist trolling. Very well, then.

[superman1113215]

@ryan82scott he's not saying salieri didnt exist he's saying the salieri in the movie is different from the real one. i agree with him, i've read many books about composers of that era and salieri was a very successful musician, even more famous than mozart at the time. he loved mozart's work.

[theangrypersian]

@ryan82scott Yes I understand he really existed, but the way he was portrayed in the film makes him "fictional" to some extent, that's what I meant ... but in all honesty, I think yes, there was some trolling involved in my comment.

[Stranglehold432]

Perfect acting

[mocaprof]

Fenomenalno! Savrseno! Zbog ove scene, film sam gledao 4 puta. 

[charnvises]

All time favorite..seen it 30 times at least

[ThEWolFFF100]

favorite movie :)

[Magduschnenni]

Everyone who thinks that Salieri was the best composer ever should LIKE HIS FABCEBOOK_FAN_PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! SO that the world will know that he was the best composer ever!!!!

[viejomartin]

what is the name of this piece?

[levideee]

@viejomartin

its called Mozart Serenade No 10 In B Flat Major K 361 III Adagio

[likegaston]

Can someone please tell me why movies are not made this way any more??!!!

[LesiureBoy]

It's funny, Paul Scofield, as fine as an actor as he is, played Salieri, but F. Murray Abraham's performance was WAY better. Abraham's version felt more natural and not as forced. Both fine actors. Love this movie with a passion.

[ZJN09]

This is damn good acting

[InfectiousShroomKid]

Watch out Mozart, that guy betrayed Jack Slater!!

[GregHuismans]

That sigh at 0:51 is incredible.

[up2my]

this performance by f murray abraham compares with jose ferrer's performance in cyrano as 2 of the greatest acting performance in movie history.

[MondoBeno]

I don't know how much of this is true, but Salieri is clearly a great musician. He reads music like an expert and has a great ear for it. Mozart may have been more inventive and creative, but Salieri probably had a better chance of making a living in music.

[Sage80]

12 votes from Salieri.

[quinn244]

This piece is so amazing!!!!

[HerrMozartsMusic]

Happy Birthday, Salieri!

[LilMizzKiwi1]

i listen to this with my eyes close and i press my earphones to my ears and then i

imagine in a picture what he was saying. I felt so relax.

[avdltd]

Mozart is the most overrated composer in the history of mankind!

[gamblor67]

@avdltd UMADCOZUBAD?

[30inventionman]

salieri is just jealous.

[TheChapmangraham]

Mozart was the voice of God

[CuriosityRoads]

And yet Beethoven is better still.

[HermanBerntzen]

What's the name of this Piece?

[adonepelagree]

@HermanBerntzen  Serenade 10 "Gran Partita" Movement 3

[IMPYEMU]

Is this F. Murray Abraham? It may seem stupid, but I just watched this movie a few hours ago and thought it was a different actor, I mean, that's gotta be the best makeup I've ever seen, if it's him I'll be amazed.

[Jubbly0]

@IMPYEMU Be amazed - it is him.

[DemiathDoomhammer]

@IMPYEMU - it's the present day, Salieri is retelling the story of Mozart, describing his music and their rather complex relationship, so yeah.. F. Murray Abraham obviously needed some make-up to make him look older, Mozart, however, died when he was just 35..

[IMPYEMU]

@DemiathDoomhammer I did see the movie, y'know. I jus didn't know whether or not Abraham portrayed his older self in the movie or not.

[SophisticatedLunatic]

There are no words to describe how much I adore this movie, this scene, Mozart and his music.



[LBPSFriend]

Whats the name of this song? :I

[ruthio1]

@LBPSFriend just type in serenade mozart and it will come up i think its the 3rd movement

[ComposerJMA]

"Bassoons, Basset Horns..."

If theres one thing I've hated about completing the requiem, it's writing for Basset Horn.

[HerlockSholmes123]

Sure, this is a great scene. But the best scene is when you get to see Frau Mozart naked ;)

[adam4757]

Salieri was spot on

[PAUPAU339]

SUBLIME!!

[Detectivefiction]

"...until a clarinet took it over." I love F. Murray Abraham's voice. He is such a classy actor.

[isefire]

One of my favorite films. :)

I love Salieri's commentary here, like a little snippet of a music appreciation class's professor's commentary. The writer of "Amadeus" took some liberties, as many people know (there's no evidence the historical Salieri or Mozart ever met), but as a literary and cinematic character Salieri in "Amadeus" is brilliant, and in the movie he is brilliantly portrayed by Abraham. What a performance!

[bigpoppaplump462]

@isefire Actually, Mozart and Salieri actually composed a cantata for voice and piano together, called Per la ricuperata salute di Ophelia.

[isefire]

@bigpoppaplump462 Thank you, I didn't know that. Sorry it took forever to reply.

[realKingJay]

is amadeuse true story??

[windowsforvista]

@realKingJay no

[realKingJay]

@windowsforvista r u sure? its kind of true right? i want to belive its true.

[isefire]

@realKingJay The movie (& stage production) are "historical fiction." Most of the characters are based on real historical persons and to varying degrees based on recorded 1st-, 2nd- or 3rd-hand accounts (3rd-hand basically meaning profess'l historians) of words (spoken to or by), associations and events involving those real persons. But some things are made up for dramatic effect. E.g., there's no evidence Mozart & Salieri met, but the movie's basic bio of Mozart is correct incl. his tragic end.

[HerlockSholmes123]

@isefire Actually, there's plenty of evidence that Mozart and Salieri met. In fact, they knew each other pretty well.

I think what you meant is that there's no evidence that Salieri killer Mozart, which would be an accurate statement.

[windowsforvista]

@realKingJay My Euro teacher said things like Mozart's personality were based on his actual personality, but the actual plot never really happened

[realKingJay]

@windowsforvista what the hell is Euro teacher...teaching Euro history ?

[windowsforvista]

@realKingJay Yea, he teaches AP level European history, the test is done now, so we're just watching movies in his class now (we're watching this now)

[realKingJay]

@windowsforvista they show me this movie on my music class....

[windowsforvista]

@realKingJay It doesn't matter where the movie is shown. This story never actually happened.

[christopher5057]

amazing movie.made me to think that human beings can perform this much.what a story line?what a direction?what a composition?above all F Murray abraham in the opening scene.hats off.

[basstvmoviespizza]

On the page it looked nothing, the beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse, basoons and basset horns, like a rusty squeeze-box. And then, suddenly, high above it, an oboe. A single note, hanging there, unwavering. Until, a clarinet took it over and sweetened into a phrase of such delight. This was no composition by a performing monkey, this was a music I had never heard, filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me I was hearing the voice of God

[dolofonos]

@basstvmoviespizza The Deaf thank you. I suppose.

[BoundaryShift]

Did you know that in the audio commentary of Amadeus, Director Milos Forman said this scene was the key scene in the whole movie with regard to creating classical music lovers among the audience.

[Jubbly0]

The 12 people who dislike this must surely have no soul to touch!

[AnonimoXZX]

what's the name of this music?

[Jubbly0]

@AnonimoXZX It's the Serenade For Winds; K 361; 3rd Movement.

[Horaz70]

Truer word was never spoken. ;):)

[V3rtyX]

i wonder how much weed did he smoke

[AdrienCarambar]

@V3rtyX looool

[memphisgrownman]

WOW!

[memphisgrownman]

wow!

[memphisgrownman]

wow!

[NonstopRam]

Thats just nice.

[TheNowhereman9]

What a great performance :)

[Gwenalltapowain]

This gives me goosebumps!!!! My eyes start to blur!!!!!! Awesome!!!

That was no work of performing monkey, that is the voice of god spoken through mozarts music!!!!!awesome

[devilxhlywood]

awesome scene

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

Mozart's music makes this a good movie

Abraham's performance makes it EPIC!

[Jubbly0]

@BlackDynamiteNYC Absolutely!

[C0L050]

the actor that perform the old sallieri, should be a movie of Franz Liszt in your old age.

[meenksellaan1]

Now I know that this movie is not werry historically acturate, but was Mozart really that naïve? Or a bit naïve?

[HerlockSholmes123]

@meenksellaan1 No, Mozart was not naive at all. He was simply vulgar and had a somewhat childish personality. If you do some research on the letters he sent and all that, you'd see he used a lot of dirty humor and childish jokes. But that doesn't mean he was naive; after all, just look at the 626 masterpieces he composed. Mozart, in fact, was probably the most musically versatile genius of his time. So I don't know how you can even think about calling him naive.

[meenksellaan1]

Well mabey the movie was at least a bit historically acurate and mabey Mozart was indeed like that, but I guess he wasn't? But ok, good to know!

[jackroo17]

A Mozart potboiler, the point is even Mozart's most banal work is in another class, however the gushing about a work in itself mediocre is cute.

[djdasani]

Was the music played in this scene written by mozart? If so what is the name of this piece? Thanks

[avast13745]

@djdasani Mozart Serenade No 10 In B Flat Major K 361 III Adagio

Enjoy

[tippitytop1]

one of my favorite songs :)

[kralotta]

wenn's nicht stimmen würde, wär's der übelste Kitsch. aber was soll man sagen - er hat recht :-)

[Sage80]

This scene almost makes me cry.

[xxxmicamicaxxx]

@countryhoney28 I loved your post.You told your story so well. I was there with you! That happened to me.

[1hanamoon]

i love marybeth

[MegaYada]

Easily the best musical description ever put into words!

[countryhoney28]

My sister and I went to see this in the theatre, with little expectation on my part. When seated and then the film started, we were introduced to this old, bitter, raggedy looking man, who tried to kill himself. Not something I was into watching at 19 years old. But then, when he began to speak and tell his story to the priest, with his voice, his pasion, his anger, etc., especially describing the music of Mozart, I was his. I felt that I was sitting next the priest. And i still do watching now

[Jubbly0]

In my humble opinion, F Murray Abraham's performance in this film is one of the best performances of any actor in any film, ever.

[TruBlueRepublicanSue]

@Jubbly0 - indeed. that dood can ACT!

[nettuno5]

@Jubbly0 He was better in Scarface

[bomarjoseph]

I sure hope you are kidding... If not, you need to have your head examined.

[xray507]

@Jubbly0 It's just the best perfomance in the cinema's history

[cromerbeach]

@Jubbly0 Youre so right wonderful performance

[KennyParkz]

@Jubbly0 Yup! without him Amadeus would not be the same.. the passion and emotions... its all too real.... esp this scene.. how he describes the music... only a passionate fan can speak like that

[Jubbly0]

@KennyParkz ....or a phenomenally good actor!

[ighxsti]

@Jubbly0 So true. Can't think of another performance that comes close. Perfection, in every sense. Conveys such sadness, revenge, wisdom, humility, etc. Just amazing in every scene.

[dmesuda]

I agree. As the younger Salieri, Abraham plays the part as straight as possible but once in the wheel chair, with the elderly makeup on and speaking to the priest, he over acts beautifully.

"Make me famous through the world, dear God! Make me immortal! After I die let people speak my name forever with love for what I wrote! In return I will give you my chastity, my industry, my deepest humility, every hour of my life, amen!"

Dialogue simply does not get any better than that.

[Terry5135]

@Jubbly0 I would agree, except for Paul Scofield in A Man for All Seasons. But I almost agree. Abraham is a fantastic actor, no question.

[melvis24]

Has anyone noticed that there weren't any rusty squeezeboxes around in these times? Salieri died 1825, years before Wheatstone patented his concertina. Anyway, great film, amazing music.

[NekedRooster]

One of my favorite scenes of the movie.

[panthercat38]

If Mozart wasn't vulgar and insolent, I wouldn't believe he was a genius. :3

[meNtor890]

" Mozart Serenade No 10 In B Flat Major K 361 III Adagio "

[MrAxSAP]

I still prefer Beethoven.

[Remman]

@MrAxSAP Yeah and I'd imagine several people prefer lady gaga, your point mr troll?

[MrAxSAP]

@Remman Excuse me?

[Remman]

@MrAxSAP Badly put maybe, but I don't see the point of making observations about my own musical interest in a clip concerning Mozart.

[hydrademian]

folks, this is the entire piece. enjoy

watch?v=X7jEpsgpPLQ&feature=re­lated

[TimYuFansClub]

EPIC moment!

[Aiofe09]

he truly was a genius

[meNtor890]

which symphony is being played here?

[scrumsie]

@meNtor890 Not a symphony ,its a seranade for woodwinds ,camt remember the KW.

[tenpigs]

maybe 'vulgar' is a modern concept?

[SandrineSoprano]

Great great upload

[jrod4592]

whats the actual name of that composition?

[jsnale]

THIS MOVIE IS.... wonderfull ! EVERYTHING YOU HEARD IS tRUE !

[ps3fanboy86]

i hate salieri

[cloudrebelio]

@ps3fanboy86 what? why? hes the best ever

[Caite33]

@ps3fanboy86 I found him a character that was very sympathetic. He worked so hard all his life to be a good composer . . . and he was he made it he was living the good life, the Mozart came into his world. How can hard work and morals compare with the stark genius given to Mozart with his vulgarity, pride and utter lack of any type of humility.

[Helena953]

Aunque no entiendo muy bien el ingles solo falta con ver al actor hablar de la musica de mozart para que esta escena te llene y sea tan perfecta T-T

[milka0010]

and that's how you get an oscar!!

This movie is really different like maestro himself...sublime...
