  • 2:49-2:54

    Good acting

  • what is that symphony called the one by 1:20 ???

  • ... And of course I meant to say "present day" and "lived" in my previous comment. Blame iPod Touch auto-correct!

  • I know the movie was largely fictional, but this scene so perfectly captures for me at least the reason I love Mozart's work. It is just simply perfect in every way, even in his pieces I don't particularly like I still see such sublime beauty. We are so fortunate to have had a great multitude of his work survive to the preset day, and I can only wonder what else he would have given us had he lied another 35 years.

  • U jelly?

  • Hollywood bullshit

  • @shnimmuc Why? Because it's mostly fictional? Are you always this late to the party?

  • @CoolerKing37 Hollywood could have done a service by keeping to the facts about Mozart. The stupid play and the movie don`t even mention Haydn, one of Mozart`s great friends and giant of the classical period and major influence. Perhaps you are not aware of the hype concerning Mozart. Even his famous trick of hearing the The Allegri work and writing it down from memory is now very much in question.

  • @shnimmuc Amadeus is a beautiful, sumptuous piece of fiction with some of the most beautiful music ever written. I don't think anyone thinks this is anywhere near the truth. Try to appreciate it for the piece of art that it is. If you can't, that's cool.

  • @edobriensgrin As a college professor of music, I am amazed at the absurd amount of false information there is out there on Mozart. People have almost tried to make him not of this earth. From the shape of his ears to the belief that everything musical just flowed from him. Mozart himself, admonished his friends that everything he wrote was work, and there are sketch books to prove it. And contrary to what you said, the general public had no idea that the movie was fantasy

  • @shnimmuc I understand your view but arent there elements of myth making surrounding all creative geniuses? And the fact remains that this movie introduced a lot of people to mozart's music for the first time. When I watched this movie I was aware that it was a fabrication, yet it didnt make it any less enjoyable.

  • @shnimmuc And on a jovial note: Ad and Joe's Saving Private Lion toy story episode sums it all up... Pvt Lion: "Gee sir why havent we seen any limey's in this war" Captain:"Dont be silly kid everyone knows the second world war was won by american actors!"

  • 2:39 - Orgasm

  • @Arnumdrusk

    2:39 - Eargasm

  • Auch meine Lieblingsszene!! Einfach fantastisch!

  • my favorite too! thanks!

  • @Garybuseyisneat- thanks a million!!

  • does anybody know, where I possibly could buy a black cover like this one in the video? (The Cover with the sheets).

  • My favorite part as well. Amazing film. Even though it is not entirely accurate, they did good with the image of Mozart and, even if it was an entirely untrue film, it was still a triumph in movie-making, cinematography, and acting. :)

  • 1. Concerto for flute, harp, & orchestra C major KV 299 II Andantino

    2. Symphony No 29 A major KV 201 I Allegro moderato

    3. Concerto for 2 pianos & orchestra E flat major KV 365 III Rondo, allegro

    4. Symphonie Concertante E flat major KV 364 I Allegro maestoso

    5. Great Mass in C minor KV 427 - 1 Kyrie

  • @GaryBuseyisNeat Thank you ^.^

  • @GaryBuseyisNeat You sir, are the greatest.

  • no it its definately not kyrie

  • What is the name of the pieces we hear :O ? Both the music and the film, so beautiful :)

  • This reminds me of the powerful scene in Philadelphia which captured the essence and power of music even better than this scene.

    Look for "La Mamma Morta - from Philadelphia" and check for yourselves!

  • Didnt really like the film.

  • F. Murray Abraham's best performance!

  • @tommyzDad omar in scarface

  • what exactly name of each "pieces" that salieri saw on that paper?? can anybody tell me?? ASAP

  • its a wrong fact. everybody makes mistakes, and correcting them is how you get better. mozart deleted and corrected in his 25th sonata and thats only one example, and as a composer myself i know that usually you dont have to delete. you play on the piano the idea, making variations, understanding the piece, and writing. thats just for the ratings of the movie, but its very nice the way they did that.

  • @ClassicMusic95 Yeah, He did in fact have drafts of his compositions. But the adjustments he made were quite small compared to other composers and rarely left any evidence of second thoughts. Although the only thing you notice in some of his drafts (that have survived) is you can see some kind of struggle to further continue the composition (Ex. Hayden Quartets).

  • It takes a brilliant mind to recognize a genius as Salieri did Mozarts. Unfortunately, his strong ego, a touch of vanity & Mozarts insults [as shown in the movie] led him into madness.

  • @popi4444444444 Beethoven defended Salieri against charges of having anything to do with Mozart's death. He found no truth to it.

  • @halloerde This film is done on a opera from Rimsky-Korsakov "Mozart and Salieri". In fact, Salieri was a good friend of Mozart's family and only 6 years older than Mozart.

  • @musiclas1 Did Rimsky make an opera of that name? If so, it was most likely based on Pushkin's short play by the same name. I once had the honour of playing Mozart in it. Though the play is very insightful into questions of creativity, and envy of it; the historical outlook is wrong. I suspect that the myth did not originate with as great a poet as Pushkin. It may have been widely believed, and he would have seen in the story, a truth about the difference between pedantry and genius.

  • I almost feel sorry for Salieri---the only one who really saw/head Mozart's music for what it was--genius,----- and Not be able to do it/write it himself...

  • @EmmaRose473 I know what you mean, I do feel sorry for him

  • @technogandhi  thanks for the feedback...and I meant 'heard' on my original comment---not 'head'...

  • One of the BEST movies EVER!!!

  • @EmmaRose473 A terrible movie. Mozart was not an idiot savant The draft corrections, that Beethoven made in his sketches, Mozart made in his head. That does not mean that he did not encounter problems, and work hard. Please do not reduce the process to magic, or a gift of instant perfection. Like the rest of us, he achieved what he did, by work, and study

  • @halloerde I never said the movie was biographical and I never made it seem like the movie portrayed Mozart as 'an idiot savant'...(YOU CAME UP WITH THAT)....So, Thanks for your feedback and go watch something that's more to your liking...As for me, IT'S MY OPINION that it's a great movie and I'm sure many share the same feeling...Thank you and Good-bye!

  • @halloerde I think the film wanted to focus on Mozart's HUMANITY. I firmly believe that he suffered from turrettes due to the unpredicatible outbursts of abstract phrases in his letters.

  • sounds like the best slices o' pizza in NYC

  • When that flute starts,

    I get so many chills

  • I like the piano concertos.

  • i like how most men (including myself), will probably think more of her boobs than about the beauty of this music...

  • @WoollyMammoth16 She actually shows them in the Director's cut ;)

  • "Is it not good?"

  • my favorite scene is the one after this one :)

  • No wonder salieri was jealous of him WHO WOULDNT BE?!?!?!

  • WHO COULD NOT LIKE MOZART!!?? HES A GENIUS!!

  • One of my favorite Movies <3. I Love MOZART.. He Is THe SUn Rising.... <3... He IS In HiMself. A COmPOSITION.. Of Greatness...<3 Mwah...

  • Salieri is the patron saint of mediocrity, and he absolves you.

  • Man, she is beautiful! The music is good too.

  • 2:40 nut officially busted.

  • @TheMudbutt123

    LOL.

  • an incredibly well done scene. wow.

  • To many notes.

  • I liked the scene with the boobies...

    xD

  • Found it! Flute and harp concerto 2nd movement! Magical! :)

  • What is the first piece heard in this clip called again, it's completely left me?!?!, but have to state the most beautiful piece Mozart wrote is ah tutti contenti from marriage of figaro. hands down, absolutely beautiful.

  • I was just playing around with my last comment but in the real world obviously he wouldn’t have dropped the stuff all over the floor. They were going for some sort of waterfall experience. Like something boiling over on the stove, or erupting. But he probably needed to drop the stuff to get the point across. But it was also a bit like it was escaping or outclassing him, like he couldn’t contain it. Or like he was suddenly a dead tree in autumn. Or made limp under its weight. He did it well.

  • same here, my favorite scene too. One comment though. The french version of this scene is, as surprising as it sounds, way superior. The choice of words is brilliant, it is not merely a translation, it is a different version surpassing the english original. If you can understand french and love Amadeus, you HAVE to see it in french as well, it's a different experience alltogether.

  • @ekianjo Wow, pretentious much?

  • Thanks for posting. This is my favorite scene as well. :)

  • 4 peoples listen Salieris music.

  • @G1GAR0 in what universe is that a bad thing? Salieri was a GREAT composer himself, of course not in the universal genius category of Mozart, but still way above par. The bad relationship between the two of them was overly exaggerated on the movie.As a closer let'ss not forget the names of some of his pupils: Beethoven, Liszt, Schubbert, among others.

  • @HypnosArg

    Yes but Mozart was the best, and even Beethoven, LIszt musica are actually better than Salieris music.

    This is my opinion, i mean i donpt like salieris music, and i think Mozart was the best , but i prefer Franz Liszt.

  • What a jewel of a performance by F. Murray Abraham.

  • He's just overcome by the beauty of mozarts music...what a scene!!!

  • That's my favorite scene too. Thanks for posting. The combination of those particular pieces, climaxing with the Kyrie, is what I love.

  • Concerto for Flute and Harp K. 299.....thats my favorite

  • Music's just like watching lots of planes nearly crash into each other. Escaped kites with insights. Like little tadpoles on swings. Pages of little tadpoles on swings, back flipping and juggling and playing with things, all summer long, like running and leaping and frolicking through fields, weeping for the butterflies, and collecting the tears like armies of footprints that nobody steers, yet always lead to Rome, march one around ones ineffable home like Caesar. What's the big deal?

  • shithouse

  • "These are originals?" 2nd movement of the flute/harp concerto start

    My mind is literally blown

    what a genius

  • When I first saw this scene when the film came out in...well, too long ago...it made me listen to everything I could by the genius that was Mozart. Thanks for uploading.

  • god that bird has got massib tits!

  • @MrThreshold2009 That girl can be seen in the Funhouse, a horror film by Tobe Hooper..shes naked in it too if you don't care about stories.

  • the dude from scarface

  • I love how she just asks so innocently, "is it not good?"

  • Comment removed

  • this actor did a stunning job, someone tell me his name

  • @hegemoniuspiper F. Murray Abraham

  • @PeterHansKierstead every actor did an amazing job inthis movie, i mention wolfie, his wife simply gorgeous...

    But F. Murray Abraham is simply stunning.. D u know his name, what F stands for?

    Forman did a very free adaptation of the real life of Mozart, it's quite incorrect in someways, nontheless the movie is pretty well done in itself

    Maybe i just dont like too much the overacting of the priest

    Curiously enough, the real Mozart face in paintings is closer to Abraham's

  • @hegemoniuspiper Farhid Murray Abraham

  • oh god shes so beuatiful o.o

  • Comment removed

  • He looks just like Leonard Rossiter playing Captin John Quin in Barry Lyndon wtf

  • great scene, great movie! i love to hate f. murray abraham in this movie as salierie. hes such a bad ass :)

  • This movie has 2 versions why is that???

  • @ML678v

    in 2002 it cam an directors cut from director milos forman.

  • What concert is this one? 0:58

  • mozarts music really took off when he started writing contrapunctal fugue style ala bach...beethoven doesnt do much of that. ive played most of thier piano music.

  • F. Murray Abraham is brilliant.

  • Does anybody know what the last opera piece of the scene is called? Been trying to find it.

  • @Keepholder I think it might be the Kyrie Eleison from Mozart's Große Messe in C minor...

  • @Keepholder It's actually the Kyrie from the Mass in C minor.

  • does anyone know the name of first song?when opening the folder?is beautiful;;;

  • No that's exactly what I'm trying to say, MunisAwesome. Mozart did write drafts of parts of music that show corrections, that were incomplete, and that were probably used as a basis for writing the completed work. It's a historical fact! What is told in the movie is not the truth. Sorry, but that's just the way it is, the movie is lying. It is historically proven that even Mozart made corrections, you can ask any music historian.

  • A stunning performance by Mr Abraham. It is impossible to keep the eyes dry when viewing this scene,,,for me, at least. Many thanks for posting. Best wishes.

  • awesome

  • This is in fact not true. Historical documents prove that Mozart made drafts. I studied music (and history of music) and I can tell you that many things in the movie Amadeus in fact aren't true. It's also untrue that Salieri brought about Mozart's death, that is entirely fiction.

  • @MrAntpha @MrAntpha But you also must understand that his drafts and revision work had nearly no adjustment at all. You have to understand that Mozart had no concept of doubting himself when it came to the matter of composing his music. And even though I don't think Salieri had anythign to do with his death or downfall of his popularity when he was alive. It is entirely possible, I told my friend he could shove it yesterday. There is but no absolute evidence of me doing so.

  • he played such an amazing role in this film. great acting. thats why he won the academy award ha

  • It is one of the many, many injustices of the Hollywood system that F Murray Abraham did not win the Oscar for Best Actor in 1986 - tom Hulce did instead for his role as Mozart. He was good, but Abraham had two roles to play within one character and did both superlatively. I remember being astounded when Hulce's name was read out at the Academy Awards ceremony.....

  • @Anjoupup1 u be trollin?

  • @Anjoupup1 Two things: 1. Amadeus came out in 1984. 2. Are you living in a parallel universe? Or do you just have questionable sources of information? F Murray Abraham DID win the Oscar.

  • The first piece is the Mozart Flute/Harp Concerto KV299, 2nd movement. I very beautiful piece.

  • Beethoven is an immortal genius, but he wasn't "taking dictation from God" like Mozart. He really had to struggle badly for his masterworks. He created the idea of the artist as hero.

  • @suopiskelija @th3b3st1888

    I believe the pieces played in this video clip are the following:

    First piece: Concerto for Flute and Harp K. 299, 2nd Movement.

    Second piece: Symphony No. 29 in A Major K. 201, 1st Movement, Allergo Moderato.

    Third piece: Concerto for Two Pianos K. 365, 3rd Movement.

    Fourth piece: Symphonie Concertante K. 364, 1st Movement.

    Fifth piece: Mass in C Minor K. 427, Kyrie.

    Hope it helps. :)

  • @Shadowleaf28 thank u man :) u help me alot :D

  • @Shadowleaf28

    i love it :D

  • i need all the names of all the pieces played in that video , please some one help!

  • @th3b3st1888 so do i... but who will help us? :)))

  • @th3b3st1888 I know only some of them

    1) Concerto for flute and Harp, K. 299 second mvt

    2) Symphony n°29, first mvt K. 201

    3) Obviously a piano concerto, but I don't know the number (one of the 27 !!)

    4) idem : maybe a violin concerto (one of the five !)

    5) "Great Mass", K.427, Kyrie.

    I hope someone tell you number 2 and 3 !

  • " And then i jizzed in my pants."

  • Can any 1 tell me what is it from 1,24 to 2,43 it's soo beautiful :) ?

  • @MrAsab65

    it's Mozart's Great Mass in C Minor, Kyrie

  • Comment removed

  • My favorite scene was when constanze took her shirt off

  • I wonder if the Salieri estate has ever sued the authors of the play and film for damage to his lagacy, people think he's a murderer nowadays.

  • 2:41 I think someone just jizzed in his pants

  • @SchamHaarKopf HAHAHAHA ROFL dude!!!!!! Had Me Rolling xD

  • Flute and harp concerto in this scene gave me goose bumps

  • what is the solo piano piece in this scene again?

  • this guy graduated from my high school...

  • She is sexy lol he was lucky haha

  • @DrivenUpTheWall1 Constanze? Nah, she and her family milked everything from Mozart, the sad thing is that he was totally dependent of her.

  • Good film, but Mozart so overrated, it's to cry for.

  • @saintsaens21 many would disagree; beethoven, wagner, chopin to name a few

  • @saintsaens21 HaHaHa!

  • My all time favorite film!! I watched it about 20 times in cinema!

  • Mithadon, you're a god

  • hey, at least God gave you the gifts to understand and the abilities to describe his music like no others.

  • This was also my favourite scene, made me cry....

  • Thanks for this post, missglory1! This is the scene I've always remembered the most about Amadeus. Poor Salieri's confrontation with Mozart's effortless genius is so brilliantly portrayed by F. Murray Abraham while Constanze is painfully (for us, not her) unaware of the real value of her husband's work. I've seen this movie many, many times... and am sure to see it a few more...

  • It's classic, both the flim and the actual moment in the history.

  • *Cough* Cough Beethoven's better! *Cough*

  • @Zayin1993.mozart is # 1,then,big gap,beethoven is #2...then massive gap...whoever is #3...wolfie is just too good to be compared to anybody else...even to beethoven.

  • @KB1523 Beethoven kicks ass daily, Mozart would have been embarrassed by Beethoven if they had been the same age when they met. It's #1: Beethoven #2: Mozart #3: J.S. Bach

  • @Zayin1993.sorry,beethoven is just #2.mozart s works are more complex and have more depth.mozart is a natural #1,mr zayin salieri...

  • @Zayin1993 bach is always 1..he is the great and only..

  • @KB1523 ..I agree..Although I may put Schubert ahead of Beethoven for his melodic abilities..Why should anyone be considered the greatest in music when they struggled with opera and stage music? Bach may be ahead of Beethoven because of that as well.

  • Love how she makes sure he's not looking, then takes another pastry

  • omar suarez is such a hater too.

  • What does she mean by "he doesn't make copies"???

  • @dominoes37

    It means that he never made a mistake. Never started over on a clean page. Everything he wrote down was already perfect in his head.

  • @Tarwater03 Yes. I know Mozart is very talented, thats a rare ability, isn't it??

  • Bravo, Bravísimo!!

  • Did something happen on the set of this movie that pissed off the industry that I'm not aware of? Where did Tom Hulce and Elizabeth Barridge (Sp?) go?

  • Abraham plays sooo freakishly awesome in this scene. The reaction to the music in his facexpressions is just phenomenal.....breathtaking music btw of course :)

  • @HerbalDevil69 Amen.

  • What's the name of the guy who plays old Salieri please ?? 

  • @Psiipa It's the same guy with makeup. F. Murray Abraham.

  • Simply sublime!! Constanze Mozart actually premiered the last of these pieces - as she was not the flighty girl portrayed here (and elsewhere), she was actually a fine soprano, she must have been to have been able to tackle the two-octave leap to her husband's satisfaction!!!

  • Now that F. Murray Abraham is really old they should just reshoot those final scenes with no make-up needed. :)

  • i think the next scene is better..... TITSS!!

  • @CarlitoXere Creep.

  • Scène magnifique, d'une intensité émotionnelle rare.

  • @ 2:39 - 2:44, Salieri jizzes in his pants.

  • I love both, but I prefer the my countries Master (van Beethoven) over the Austrian Prodigy (Mozart).

  • 254 - 0 :)

  • Could Mozart's music be described in any other way than in such a profound, moving, and fantastical way? I think not. This summarizes the music of Mozart to the T!

  • Hey That's Omar Suarez....Chivato!!!!

  • One of the BEST movie scenes EVER!
