Grazi, Signore.

Regrettably I saw the movie before knowing about Salieri.

I think he was an amazing composer, why did they make him appear like stupid beside Mozart ???..........

[123UncleRuckus]

@ferdinando1945 They did that because he was always a step behind Mozart and he even admitted it himself.

@Sviolinist 1."The mathematics of Salieri's composition are not correct." This is just becouse of your Mozart trained hearing. His compositions are not correct too, but you do not notice it becouse of istablished paradigm, that you have brought up from childhood. Now everything is changed and reinterpreted, but you probably do not understand it.

2.Well, are you excited about your IQ? Congratulations, Mr. brilliant listener. In this case, the conversation can indeed be considered complete.

@veleglas Listen to this piece at around 1 minute. Listen to what happens after this point. It doesn't develop as it should. The mathematics of Salieri's composition are not correct. If you don't understand what this means then you are not a composer, but just someone who spouts opinions.

[veleglas]

@Sviolinist It is not obvious, because unprovable. Unequal forces, and not because Salieri's "mediocrity", but because of Mozart - two hundred years of worship and perfected thousands of interpretations of his music. At the time, as Salieri is just beginning to be studied. Variants of his works - units.However, this concerns not only Salieri, but all those contemporaries, which dipped to highlight Mozart. But soon maybe it becomes clear who is actually a "genius" and who - "mediocrity."

@Sviolinist well personally, i dont think anyone should judge either mozart or salieri's compositions until they can prove themselves to be capable of producing music even close in quality. There is nothing mediocre about salieri, or mozart, one just happen to get luckier with people remembering his name.

@JanJanszoonII Uh, yah, and Im Italian, and I can most confidently assure you that we are not white. Everyone was paled down in those portraits as well. They wouldn't want a filthy arab-looking person hanging on their wall, after all.

[Sviolinist]

@veleglas Well, if you want to put it in these terms, Mozart's "Foodwerke" is a thousand and one times better than Salieri's. Let's put it in another way... I can take 20 of Salieri's pieces and put them next to 20 of Mozart's "worst" pieces and Mozart still comes out looking like a genius. Veleglas, some day you're just going to have to stop making excuses for Salieri and realize that some composers actually deserve the term "mediocre."

@SpadaccinoLuciano

Erm... actually, Salieri was an Italian, born and raised in Venice. He was, also, most definitely white; there is at least one portrait to prove it.
