Antonio Salieri`s aria from "Der Rauchfangkehrer" is "Wenn dem Adler das Gefieder." This virtuoso piece was written for the soprano Caterina Cavalieri, as was "Marten aller Arten," and it is sung here by Patrice Michaels under the direction of Stephen Alltop.

In this aria, Fraule Nannette, the character who sings it, decides to confront her stepmother, Frau von Habicht, after the latter challenges her in her quest for Volpino`s love.

Lyrics:
Wenn dem Adler das Gefieder
Aus der grauen Höh' erblickt,
Beugt sich alles vor ihm nieder,
Staunet, starret und erschrickt.
Ich ein Habicht von der Wiege,
Zähl mich in des Adlers Fach,
Operistinn! förcht mein' Siege,
Dich zu beugen ist mein Sach.

    I beg to differ. His so-called "dissonance quartet" (K465) is a great example. It was so chromatic that later composers and arrangers offered "corrected" versions of it years later until people finally understood the original.

  • @WQ673 Ich muss ganz aufrichtig zustimmen

  • i love this music hey without emperor franz joseph of austria we wouldn't have music cuz he's the one who commisioned this music

  • salieri should not have dissapeared so quickly.

  • Mozart was not a revolutionary. From today's perspective his music does seem less interesting than Mozart's and thus "old-fashioned" and in general MOzart was definitely more talented but Mozart composed in (and fits very well into) the late-classical tradition and was not an innovator but a superb master of a craft developped by others (Haydn, for instance).

  • Salieri should be appreciated more!!

  • Salieris Musik ist viel größer als sein Bekannheitsgrad es leider ist. Ein Vergleich mit Mozart erübrigt sich aus dem Grunde, als beide zwar zeitgleich schufen, jedoch jeder eine andere Ausdrucksart hat. Mozart ist "weicher und großräumiger", Salieri "härter und enger " in der Melodik. Ich kann es nicht besser formulieren. Beide sind großartig, jeder in seiner Art ! Thanks for this fine musik !
