This scene shows how beyond-its-time Mozart was. How salieri can't get the compositions, and how he was so different. I love it. I have a big respect for Mozart, and a composer like him will never come given the situation nowadays.
@condedeorgaz Either way the movie is far from the real history, it's not even close. Mozart didn't die right after the premier of magic flute for example.
@Zayin1993 There is no evidence whatsoever that his Requiem had anything to do with his death. He was simply composing a piece under commission and it may as well have been a fanfare for fireworks as a requiem. Remember that Mozart, for whatever reason, never finished his only other large-scale, religious choral work, the Great Mass in c, which he wrote 8 years before he died, so he had plenty of time to finsih that masterpiece but did not. Also note that Die Zauberflote, possibly his (cont)
@Zayin1993 (cont..) his greatest opera, is masterpiece of child-like wonder full of life and vitality, was completed only a few months before his death. My own opinion, Mozart did not particulary like religious choral works and took his sweet time with them, if he ever got his mind to finishing them at all. His passion was for the color, life, vitality (and the fame) that came with opera. No other form of his era demanded so much from a composer, and it was the ultimate challenge.
@tmc359 I don't know about that. It may be true that he wasn't into masses, but not all his music is full of color, life or vitality. Specially music from his latest years, a lot of them were dark and deep.
What a crap of a movie: it is TOTALLY HISTORICALLY INACCURATE. Salieri was not envious of Mozart. He did not conspire against him, let alone do anything to harm him. He was present when Mozart was laid at rest in the cemetery, together with his close friends. The Confutatis was written when Mozart was agonizing, and it is unclear who was at his bed side. Surely not Salieri, probably Sussmayr and others. Finally... Mozart didn't have an American accent...
What did I expect? To avoid such a waste of resources, of talented professionals to produce a film false as a two dollar bill, based on stereotypes and prejudices. And a Mozart not looking like a conceited American teenager. Too much?
@Romeovertherainbow Judging Amadeus' quality solely by its historical accuracy is like judging the quality of Picasso's art by its realism. It misses the entire point.
@zdt6yjko0 The entire point is that the film is mediocre, and false as a 2 dollars bill. For those who know little or nothing of Mozart it might seem beautiful simply because knowing about Mozart and its music is a beautiful experience in its own right. And please spare us the comparison between this crap and Picasso's art. Also your comparison is wrong: it is the film which tries to give a historical representation (the persons at stake are not fictitious but real), but most incorrectly.
@esltr91 What did I expect? To avoid such a waste of resources, of talented professionals to produce a film false as a two dollar bill, based on stereotypes and prejudices. And a Mozart not looking like a conceited American teenager. Too much?
I love how he continues it without Mozarts help... like he's feeling the same passion Mozart does and the source of his inspiraiton... right before the end. XD
Entertaining movie, but WAY too much Hollywood bullshit. The relationship between Salieri and Mozart was NOT like in the movie. Sooo much made up BS from the whole plot to Constanzi herself. It is not the real story of Mozart.
@Chakiejan well, if for sake of an "average spectator's amusement" Hollywood could pervert that much the life of Jim Morrison - practically contemporary to us person - I can only imagine how different was the true story of Mozart, let alone Alexander the Great....
@BlackCrowNavajo Well no, it's pure fiction, but it's a rather damn good story. XD Mozart really died from cracking his head after falling down some stairs and getting leached to death by the doctors.
Excellent scene!!!No matter how many times I've watched this it still gives me the goose bumps!It's a hymn to musical geniuses!Long live Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!
One of the greatests movies I have ever seen. It was the start of today's great interest and liking I have for classical music. Everything Mozart composed is beautiful. He was inspired by God, indeed.
Those strings really are the "real fire". That's what separates Mozart from the rest of his contemporaries. Any other composer would leave it there, and still produce an excellent composition. Mozart however goes one step further and his orchestration is unparalleled.
In my opinion I think this is one of teh BESt scenes in the history of film.. Gimem teh oldies, gimme the epic's... this one destroys them asll.. They way the music is put into opiece by piece liek that.. oh amn.. I just can't explina it..simply outstanding acting, and exceptional musical decipheri9ng..if I can say that.. awesome!!!
BX02: Oh please don't make us laugh! A mediocre film based on a false account of Mozart's life, of Salieri's personality and behavior: Mozart is potrayed as an irreverent, conceited American teenager; incredible resources squandered to make a Hollywood film pleasing common people. Mozart was joyful but very refined, educated, with deep-seated values; his life was far more imaginative, adventurous, inspired, creative, artistic, unique. His talent far greater. They just had to report it as it was.
@Romeovertherainbow You are calling one of the most celebrated and wonderful and awe-inspiring films of all time "Mediocre." Can I just take you aside for a moment and help you to realize that no one will bother listening to your comments after you say such a thing? Do you go to art shows and point at famous paintings and shout out how mediocre they truly are? This is foolish.
This is why Salieri can't compare to Mozart. He can't work as fast as his thoughts. Mozart can. It's why he struggles in the beginning and in a few places, asking him to slow down.
@c7lee I quite like the scene myself ... it's a good dramatic contrast of genuine understanding versus mere knowledge. But the thing is, they only intermittently speak "musically" with each other here. That's a bit disconcerting in terms of realism, but understandable for a play.
@Fuliginosus Well for movie purposes the instructions are incomplete. Its impossible to imagine others music without tell you the notes or at least sings the melody for you... The hard is not to write down the notes. The hard part is to compose the whole thing. And its impossible to compose requiem like this without feel your own death...
Why does Salieri get confused by the harmony when he's writing the doubling of the instruments? If it was gonna confuse him it should have happened when he was writing the tenor part...
Also, he emphasises the wrong beat when he's vocalising the strong ostinato...
He was confused when he missed which instruments doubled the tenors and it was the unfamiliar feeling of misunderstanding that caused him to have difficult with the harmonic beats. It was more of an attack of anxiety that created the confusion and Mozarts frustration inpounded it.
The wrong beat is not being emphasised for the ostinato. In a human attempt to reproduce the general sound so they could show each other that they understood did that..
in fact, boys and girls, the film is great. Maybe the last Hollywood`s bigest film till now...
Anyway, it is based on Sir Peter Shaffer`s play, which tells a fictional story of how court composer Antonio Salieri attempted to destroy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart of whom he was jealous. A Tony Award for Best Play, in 1981!!!!!:)))))
The whole story is based on Pushkin actually, read more, watch less....
this music was based on what italians composed. if you listen to italian sacred music you hear the same themes and ideas. this work wasnt entirely original just like blues music or jazz or anything.
it really show the difference between a sphere and a circle. 3rd dimension kills two dimensional thinkers. like when your above someone looking down and shoot them, and they look left.
I agree. I LOVED this movie from scene one! The ending had me in tears. I read later that the full Requiem Mass was not completed by Mozart, but that still does not detract from his genius and THIS FILM! WOW!
To those didn't understand what Salieri didn't understand-
It comes to show that Mozart already hear the whole piece in his head, the harmonies and all. and salieri doesn't think the same way and at first he can't hear it all in his head, so he can't understand Mozart simple but briliant moves...
Salieri being surprised or not understanding about trombone & bassoon doubling the male voices, or about trumpets & timpani playing on D's and A's, is just too stupid... that's a common practice of the time, something that any composer or Salieri (an extremely competent composer) would have surely known an understood.... but it's just a movie...
... it could be... but it doesn't look like that to me from the script and the acting :-) Or maybe it's because it's just a movie (play) written for the general public by a non-musician... but I still wonder, since I believe N. Marriner was the music adviser for the movie. No matter what, Salieri shouting "I don't understand!!" about trumpets and timpani playing on I and V is either overacting or uninformed writing. It sounded off the very first time I saw the movie 25 years ago ;-)
@MetalDubs666 : Yes, I saw his interview (the making of...), but that does not explain what I mentioned. Those lines (the bassoon, trombones, timpani...) are part of the script ;-)
@markcom808. I agree with you. And i'd say the entire movie is genious. Its hard to impress me, but Amadeus I can see many times. I watched it for like 3 times in 1 week. F. Murray Abraham (playing Salieri) is awsome. The movie is awsome, deep, dark and very beatutiful, and of course the music in the movie is awsome, its Mozart!
"Amadeus", the Movie, was based in the play "Amadeus", by Peter Shaffer; this play was based, at the same time, on the Alexander Pushkin's "Mozart and Salieri", a romantic play. Obviuosly, the romantics created this stranges and amazing legend of the Mozart's Death and Salieri like his murder... Nothing of that, in our days was proved, was the real truth.
You'll have to blame the playwright, Peter Shaffer, who was English, not American. And "Amadeus" was itself inspired by a previous play by the great Pushkin called "Mozart and Salieri".
Making shit up is a time-honoured tradition in drama :P
thanks alot for sharing this piece of this wonderful mouvie..I'm italian..I watched this one a lot of time..great music and composer !!!!!!!...wonderful..grazie mille
I think the closest thing to "help" Salieri can offer is help him compose, which he could not do. I think if he is strong enough to talk it through he must be strong enough to hold a quill.
This scene tends to bring out Salieris mediocrity as a composer and inability to 'keep up' with Mozart's dictation. The movie is fiction. Salieri did though, in fact, try to keep Mozart off the staff of court composers in Vienna.
Salieri asks if a note is D# in the second measure of the bass but the D# doesn't appear until the 3rd and 4th beat of the 5th measure in the tenors to create a Diminished A to create full tension to resolve to the Emajor in the 6th measure. Think - A->G# C->B (and D if necessary) D#->E -rather than- A->G# C->B E->E
@mirabeau88. In a way i agree. but he is also greedy and desperate. When you end up next to someone who has a gift from God, you should just be thankful and enjoy it, and not try to steal his place. In the movie, Salieri had a much better position and economy than Mozart. And the real Mozart was very poor too, in the end. If (movie character) Salieri had just been satisfied with what he have, he would still enjoy the good things in life and have a conscience not fucked up and twisted.
I think I can add to this discussion. Music composition in an orchestral/symphonic context IS a learned intellectual skill. I've always related it to cabinet-making as a metaphor because it requires study, apprenticeship, and practical experience. The components that make up a music composition can be measured: adroit dynamic contrasts & melodic/harmonic complexity and diversity. Music is a construction of assembled components.
This is... just breathtaking. Even if it may be not the historical truwonderfth it's unbelievable to see those both ettraordinairy actors in one of the best ending scenes in film history in my opinion. They both would have deserved the oscar - I love to watch it again and again... Mozart would have loved it too I'm sure, to see such delighted scenes to his genius music.
I bet that the real mozart probably wrote this in around 4 minutes as well

I agree. I LOVED this movie from scene one! The ending had me in tears. I read later that the full Requiem Mass was not completed by Mozart, but that still does not detract from his genius and THIS FILM! WOW!

To those didn't understand what Salieri didn't understand-
It comes to show that Mozart already hear the whole piece in his head, the harmonies and all. and salieri doesn't think the same way and at first he can't hear it all in his head, so he can't understand Mozart simple but briliant moves...

For Mozart's funeral, Constanze actually was not present, for she had fallen ill, although the movie shows her there.

Salieri being surprised or not understanding about trombone & bassoon doubling the male voices, or about trumpets & timpani playing on D's and A's, is just too stupid... that's a common practice of the time, something that any composer or Salieri (an extremely competent composer) would have surely known an understood.... but it's just a movie...

plus, salieri was not at all present when mozart was writing this piece.

@bersa888 mayb it was b/c its was too common that salieri doesnt understand why some1 like mozart would use it

... it could be... but it doesn't look like that to me from the script and the acting :-) Or maybe it's because it's just a movie (play) written for the general public by a non-musician... but I still wonder, since I believe N. Marriner was the music adviser for the movie. No matter what, Salieri shouting "I don't understand!!" about trumpets and timpani playing on I and V is either overacting or uninformed writing. It sounded off the very first time I saw the movie 25 years ago ;-)
bersa888 2 years ago
well, maybe he don't understand cause all the information was coming in a rush, hahaha just maybe :D :P

Tom Hulce left out some of the information when he was telling Salieri on purpose during the making of the movie.

@MetalDubs666 : Yes, I saw his interview (the making of...), but that does not explain what I mentioned. Those lines (the bassoon, trombones, timpani...) are part of the script ;-)

@markcom808. I agree with you. And i'd say the entire movie is genious. Its hard to impress me, but Amadeus I can see many times. I watched it for like 3 times in 1 week. F. Murray Abraham (playing Salieri) is awsome. The movie is awsome, deep, dark and very beatutiful, and of course the music in the movie is awsome, its Mozart!

Requiem for Salierri from Mozart
gatitobonita 2 years ago
"Amadeus", the Movie, was based in the play "Amadeus", by Peter Shaffer; this play was based, at the same time, on the Alexander Pushkin's "Mozart and Salieri", a romantic play. Obviuosly, the romantics created this stranges and amazing legend of the Mozart's Death and Salieri like his murder... Nothing of that, in our days was proved, was the real truth.

if u read books about mozart's life, u would know this movie has nothing to do with reality!
americans always show things the way they WANT it to be and it usually is 100% wrong!

But sometimes dramatic license can be taken to tell a good story, and this is a very good story!
markcom808 2 years ago 3
You'll have to blame the playwright, Peter Shaffer, who was English, not American. And "Amadeus" was itself inspired by a previous play by the great Pushkin called "Mozart and Salieri".
Making shit up is a time-honoured tradition in drama :P

i think he was to weak....i think salieri offers him to help him
robbe8889 2 years ago
I think the closest thing to "help" Salieri can offer is help him compose, which he could not do. I think if he is strong enough to talk it through he must be strong enough to hold a quill.

Glorious. Pure cinema depicting pure musical genius. Inspiration overflowing all around. Just glorious.

The actor for Salieri in this movie looks a lot like the portrait of Haydn to me... at least much more than he does Salieri
parquar 2 years ago 3
This scene tends to bring out Salieris mediocrity as a composer and inability to 'keep up' with Mozart's dictation. The movie is fiction. Salieri did though, in fact, try to keep Mozart off the staff of court composers in Vienna.

dagisa123 2 years ago 3
Salieri asks if a note is D# in the second measure of the bass but the D# doesn't appear until the 3rd and 4th beat of the 5th measure in the tenors to create a Diminished A to create full tension to resolve to the Emajor in the 6th measure. Think - A->G# C->B (and D if necessary) D#->E -rather than- A->G# C->B E->E
gtr1pno1 2 years ago
I think he says G#. The fourth beat of the second measure is a G#. I think he was asking which note the second measure ends on

@mirabeau88. In a way i agree. but he is also greedy and desperate. When you end up next to someone who has a gift from God, you should just be thankful and enjoy it, and not try to steal his place. In the movie, Salieri had a much better position and economy than Mozart. And the real Mozart was very poor too, in the end. If (movie character) Salieri had just been satisfied with what he have, he would still enjoy the good things in life and have a conscience not fucked up and twisted.

I think I can add to this discussion. Music composition in an orchestral/symphonic context IS a learned intellectual skill. I've always related it to cabinet-making as a metaphor because it requires study, apprenticeship, and practical experience. The components that make up a music composition can be measured: adroit dynamic contrasts & melodic/harmonic complexity and diversity. Music is a construction of assembled components.

This is... just breathtaking. Even if it may be not the historical truwonderfth it's unbelievable to see those both ettraordinairy actors in one of the best ending scenes in film history in my opinion. They both would have deserved the oscar - I love to watch it again and again... Mozart would have loved it too I'm sure, to see such delighted scenes to his genius music.
