This. Is. Too. Real. As a private music instructor.. it’s so hard to ask parents to keep their dogs away because you don’t wanna seem too pushy since it’s their home so you just have to put up with it.
Or even worse if their other child just wants to plonk the lower keys while their sisters learning and the parents don't have the strength to discipline them properly. It makes you wonder why they hire private instructors in the first place if they don't genuinely want their children to learn.
That's just disrespectful! Some people don't know manners simply. Just like in the movie if I were in Mozart's place I would have done the exact same thing and been rudder. But there is nothing wrong to ask the parents to keep distractions away as long as you ask kindly. Especially non musician parents who simply don't know how annoying it can be.
I think that it's part of why good communication in setting rules is important for private instructors. The client wants to be spoken politely to, but they will respect you more and feel better about paying you if they feel that you consider your effort valuable. Being able to traverse the line between diplomacy and professionalism is a crucial skill to have.
Could you just imagine ... Mozart is in your own house giving you a private sample of his music, made up on the spot and you're playing with your dogs instead of listening to him...
LMAO....grabbing that bottle at the end was the most savage mic drop ever. This movie is a true masterpiece. The story, the costumes, the music, the acting....
Me too, though a lot of people wouldn't watch this out of me. It never seems to the vocal teacher that when it came to Mozart, I always wrote a paper five, and if it was about the 90s, I barely got a triple xd. God, I'm a kid today, I love modern things, but I really am a fan of Mozart. I would like to go to Vienna or Salzburg someday for some monument.
Poor actress, who played the shy girl. This was her ONLY appearance in the movie. She probably told all her friends, put it on her acting resume, then found out it was cut out entirely. Such a shame, it was a great scene! (I'm glad I watched the uncut version)
@The Snow Nigro No, she was in the theatrical cut briefly. She was mentioned where Mozart had to do a task by teaching a 13 year old girl before he was allowed to the Metta.
I watched the regular first like 20 times from the library, and the directors cut surprised me. It was the only copy of the movie they had, and I didn't want to pay $25 for a used dvd. It sat there for a half a year, and I finally caved in when multiple visits to the rental store that was selling it clearly wasn't gonna get a normal copy. I wanted to own it though, and it satisfactorily outperformed the original 😊
Reminds me of a party I was at where the girl was falling into the pool with a bottle of champagne waving in her hand as I walked by. I grabbed the champagne from her hand and kept on walking as I heard the splash of her hitting the water. What a gentleman.
Now THAT's the most important piece of missing information, explained in the director's cut! That dumb boobie scene with Stanze stripping isn't HALF as satisfyingly foreshadowing to me as FINALLY knowing where Mozart got that f&@$:&$ BOTTLE. Lol, funniest part is, I'm not kidding!
I'm a singing pianist who played a New Year's Eve house party a few years ago and right in the middle of a big singalong, the host's 10-year old son brought his guinea pig into the room and put it right on my keyboard while I was playing. It was scared and ran back and forth across the keys trying to get away and I literally had to play around the damn thing, hoping it wouldn't crap right there. (It didn't.) I wish I could have stormed out like Mozart, but I would have had to leave all my equipment behind. That was one for the books!
Diana North ".......So rose the dreadful ghost from his next and blackest opera. There, on the stage, stood the figure of a dead commander. And I knew - only I understood - that the horrifying apparition was Leopold, raised from the dead! Wolfgang had summoned up his own father to accuse his son before all the world! It was terrifying and wonderful to watch." - Antonio Salieri
And, more importantly, it signals the return of the murdered Commendatore as a terrifying walking statue responding to Giovanni’s invitation to supper, after which he drags him down to hell.
No movie holds up better than this one in the category of a 10, 20, 30, 40 year old movie. Its so fresh that I still can't believe it was made in the early 80s!
It's intresting to note that there almost seems to be a subliminal message in the scene. It starts off with Mozart trying to teach the girl, but the lesson turns into a dog training session instead. He then takes off through the streets, where one sees trained dogs doing tricks, then trained bears, and finnally trained humans. It almost seems to imply that everyone in the city is in actuality a trained juggler, even though they don't realize it. Everyone that is, except Mozart, who sees everything but makes light of the whole charade.
I thought it was a circus atmosphere, and Mozart seems quite happy and at home in it. Then he sees his demonic looking father, is first scared and then happy to see him. The happy part seems strange.
The piece he played on the piano, of course, was his Piano Concerto No. 15 in B-flat Major K. 450, third movement. He played the strings on the piano as well. You can hear the actual piece played with the strings after he walks into the streets.
Any musician who has ever given private lessons can relate to this scene. Nowadays, not only dogs, but screaming kids, parents arguing, TV on full volume, other music blasting from a stereo, etc.
Actually, no. It's a little more complicated than that. It is rather going to battle with wolf, meaning 1 turning wolf-like or 2 actually wearing a wolf's fur. And it's way older than the 8th Century.
One of the reasons why this scene is genius is how it shows how the composers transitioned from loyal slaves like Salieri to egocentric self-made artists like Mozart...Mozart was called "The First Romantic" because he defied social conventions in a time where musicians were not seen as more than servants. Here, instead of tolerating the man's obnoxious behaviour, Mozart is the one expecting respect and consideration...so when this was not met he stormed away in a temper. He was a hero of musicians because he symbolised that an ordinary-class man with gifts could be worth more than high nobility.
Mozart and Salieri were not the enemies like shown in many movies! They respected each other,worked often together,but sure were also rivals in selling their compositions to the public!
From a post a long time ago, Salieri also took care of Mozart's family after he passed. I think that should have been in the movie, to set the record straight, they played/wrote him as a villain, once Mozart was gone they could have made him look good, he deserve to be remembered by History, (and this is the "official" History now). No book is going to reach as wide a audience.
@@streamofconsciousness5826 Well, if he was that benevolent he could have paid for Mozart's funeral? It's normal things in movies are always dramatized and to have him as the villain worked perfectly.
when Mozart said "Perhaps if I played something it would encourage her" and went ALL OUT on that harpsichord, I would've felt completely humiliated not encouraged lol
Let's not show him any modern music. I'm just worried it may destroy his mind. Watching him perform live, on the other hand, what an experience that would be.
@@sc1ss0r1ng Or to watch him conduct the premiere of Don Giovanni at the Estates Theatre in Prague, used in Amadeus. They filmed the Don Giovanni scene on the very same stage Mozart stood in 1787.
Einstein was terrible as a teacher, and so were the great ones of Physics in the 1920s, Heisenberg, Pauli, Dirac, Schrodinger. A very smart guy like Oppenheimer, the Father of the Atom Bomb, went to Berlin in the 1920s to learn from the Big Shots, only to realize that in that environment he was a C- student.
Entertainers, musicians, singers, dancers had a long time coming into their own - being recognized for their ability, creativity, talent, virtuosity. Chopin always thought of himself as classy and somewhat above the people to whom he owed his living. There is an anecdote about Beethoven. He and a friend, a fellow musician, were walking and coming toward them was some person of nobility. Beethoven did not step aside. He said to his friend, "There are many of them and only a few of us".
I feel the same way as a instructor today when i teach. Most parents have no respect to the music and the teacher 😔😔. That is why after teahing over 25 years. I finally stopped teaching. Before i quit, i told my students even though i stopped, but music will always be my passion.
Clever use of the K. 527 overture at the end - foreshadows the tragedy to come, and the themes associated with Don Giovanni. One feels nearly uneasy as the son embraces his father...embracing death.
I believe that Hulce was miscast in the role of Mozart. F. Murray Abraham, however, definitely deserved the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his finely-tuned portrayal of Antonio Salieri (who, BTW, was as excellent composer and music pedagogue).
And he played the straight character in a comedy, and a the joker in a drama. Also, Salieri told Mozart not to get a reputation as a debtor in Amadeus, and Tom Hulce’s character was in major debt trouble in Parenthood.
The fat guy is one of my all time favorite characters. A man blessed with supreme confidence and joy for life, not restrained by selfdoubt, social norms or even an ego (''please her Mozart, please, please''). I'd pay good money to watch a movie with this guy.
I’m appalled at this man’s behavior regarding Mozart. He came to be a tutor for the Frauleïn and is not allowed privacy and silence for the session but instead asked to comfort the dogs… That’s another level of disrespect.
By the way, the music Mozart plays in the house then is played as he strolls through the street is Mozart's Piano Concerto #15, in B flat, K450. (Others below have used the wrong concerto!)
The Directors cut is on DVD and the whole movie is presented with the deleted scenes edited into the movie all beautifully remastered and restored color and sound!!
Nothing pisses me off more than a dog owner that lets their mutts jump all over you and shove their noses in your crotch. Then they laugh "Ohhhhhh they are so friendly and won't bite! Don't worry!"
Just for the record,Wolfie loved animals. He had a pet bird,a nightengale I think,whom he adored and he was grief-stricken when it died. Of course,he tried to teach it music and is believed to have used its song in at least one of his works. A better animal/composer story is about Anton Bruckner,who had a little dog and two prankster students who would play Wagner on the piano and smack the poor bugger,then Maestro Bruckner's music while feeding it sausages when the composer was not around. They delighted Bruckner shortly after when they demonstrated that even his dog preferred his music to Wagner's.
That's due to the dog's psychology, the dog associated Wagner's music with the boys striking him, and his master, and Bruckner's music with getting fed sausages, leading it to prefer Bruckner's music over Wagner's. It's like if you listen to Ysaye while you're being threatened with death, and listening to Tchaikovsky when getting married. You will grow to prefer Tchaikovsky over Ysaye, due to memories and experience.
Liking animals doesn't mean he would have appreciated having a bunch of barking dogs in the room while he's playing and the people not paying any attention to the music.
Supposedly, when Walt Disney was planning to put sound in "Steamboat Willie", he and Roy(?) did a rehearsal in their garage with projector, screen, and sound effects set up on a table, and their wives were the audience, sitting on lawn chairs in the driveway. When they were finished, they looked to their wives for a reaction, only to find that the wives had been gossiping and not paying any attention the entire time.
For years, I had wondered why he was walking the streets with a bottle! The added context was subtle but illuminating. I would have been driven to drink after the incident as well!
My best childhood friends uncle was good friends with Tom Hulce (whom is from nearby Plymouth Michigan where I grew up) and in the late 1970s, I got to meet Tom at my friends house just shortly after Tom was in Animal house with John Belushi. He was very nice and told many funny jokes.
Salieri did this deliberately to humiliate Mozart. It was his way of getting back at a composer, regardless of his genius, whom he regarded as a smart-alecky boy-brat. Mozart played beautifully in this scene, once again illustrating his tremendous instrumental skills, and he was angry as hell when he realized this rich couple were only using him, and could care less about his abilities. So it goes with some artists....
I think Salieri had something to do with alienating Mozart...he states later on in the movie to the baron, about how "he succeeding in practically alienating all of Vienna" - to include the rich family in this scene, when Mozart...well, begs for money from him. I hate to think that Salieri did this, as well...or maybe these people weren't even friends or trusted, longtime associates of his to begin with...or maybe it was Salieri who "successfully alienated Mozart from all of Vienna", except for this rich family...
may be in the movie. But both "real" Mozart and Salieri were not as purported in this movie. You know, hollywood must have a bad guy and a nice guy....
Whats awesome is that the film location , Prague, looks exactly the same now. So cool walking the cobblestone streets with years of history all around you.
Wonderful scene that should have stayed in the film. Must be nice for a producer to have such a good movie that this could be removed and the finished product still be top notch.
For years, I never knew there was a directors cut that was 3 hours long. When I finally watched it, it explained away a few different parts of the movie that never made sense to me, the biggest one being why Constanze seemed to have a disdain for Salieri. And this scene here leads so perfectly into the next scene which I never knew I needed lol
The more common version nowadays is the Director’s Cut, in which this scene is present. The theatrical cut is shorter and doesn’t have this scene in it.
Anyone notice how the three footsteps of Leopold at 4:30 mirror the 3 bangs before the Commendatore breaks down the wall in the Don Giovanni opera scene later in the film?

I love dogs but current pet culture has completely circled back to this.
Unimaginable not setting proper terms and boundaries. A definate no-go I’d say. You cannot be professional without privacy and quiet period.
Could you just imagine ... Mozart is in your own house giving you a private sample of his music, made up on the spot and you're playing with your dogs instead of listening to him...
Could they have moved the dogs elsewhere...out of respect for Mozart or their daughter?

in case anyone is curious, the dark music that plays the minute Mozart sees his father is the beginning of the overture to his opera Don Giovanni.

Mozart is all a gentleman
Very ironic that Tom Hulce played a straight edge character in Animal House and then played an Animal House character and in Amadeus.
Good observation
His performance is impeccable
And he played the straight character in a comedy, and a the joker in a drama.
Also, Salieri told Mozart not to get a reputation as a debtor in Amadeus, and Tom Hulce’s character was in major debt trouble in Parenthood.
The fat guy is one of my all time favorite characters. A man blessed with supreme confidence and joy for life, not restrained by selfdoubt, social norms or even an ego (''please her Mozart, please, please''). I'd pay good money to watch a movie with this guy.
He played Baron Harkonnen in Dune 1984.
@@joeross6523 spice is life!
I’m appalled at this man’s behavior regarding Mozart. He came to be a tutor for the Frauleïn and is not allowed privacy and silence for the session but instead asked to comfort the dogs… That’s another level of disrespect.
I saw this film when it first came out in Zurich. It had French, German AND Italian subtitles! You could hardly see the picture!
Mozart laugh: hahahahahahaha
Hahaha
@keith twort:
...and you said,
"They're all so BEAUTIFUL...
- why don't I have THREE HEADS??" and then garishly laughed, yes?
@@vixenwinters6375 …so perfectly said….it’s straight out of the unfilmed script! Superb !
*whoa*
Tom Hulce should have win the Oscar !! so sad he did not
By the way, the music Mozart plays in the house then is played as he strolls through the street is Mozart's Piano Concerto #15, in B flat, K450. (Others below have used the wrong concerto!)
I hope large dramatic capes come back into fashion! And tricorn hats too!
“No capes.”
One day, I'd like to see the uncut version of Amadeus.
The Directors cut is on DVD and the whole movie is presented with the deleted scenes edited into the movie all beautifully remastered and restored color and sound!!
The movie is about 20-22 minutes longer!!
Its on internet
@@martymcfly5434 thank you
just watch it on f movies
Love how he just took the bottle and left.
It's like "whoever this bottle is for, I need it more than them"
This is filmed in a former Imperial salon..the family in the painting is Maria Theresia s children.
Nothing pisses me off more than a dog owner that lets their mutts jump all over you and shove their noses in your crotch. Then they laugh "Ohhhhhh they are so friendly and won't bite! Don't worry!"
Just for the record,Wolfie loved animals. He had a pet bird,a nightengale I think,whom he adored and he was grief-stricken when it died. Of course,he tried to teach it music and is believed to have used its song in at least one of his works. A better animal/composer story is about Anton Bruckner,who had a little dog and two prankster students who would play Wagner on the piano and smack the poor bugger,then Maestro Bruckner's music while feeding it sausages when the composer was not around. They delighted Bruckner shortly after when they demonstrated that even his dog preferred his music to Wagner's.
That's due to the dog's psychology, the dog associated Wagner's music with the boys striking him, and his master, and Bruckner's music with getting fed sausages, leading it to prefer Bruckner's music over Wagner's. It's like if you listen to Ysaye while you're being threatened with death, and listening to Tchaikovsky when getting married. You will grow to prefer Tchaikovsky over Ysaye, due to memories and experience.
Liking animals doesn't mean he would have appreciated having a bunch of barking dogs in the room while he's playing and the people not paying any attention to the music.
I laughed so hard when he took off with that bottle of liquor.
Great scene and it says so much about his life.
That’s how my students parents are.i was so pissed off when I was showing them how to play it well and they were talking so loud
Supposedly, when Walt Disney was planning to put sound in "Steamboat Willie", he and Roy(?) did a rehearsal in their garage with projector, screen, and sound effects set up on a table, and their wives were the audience, sitting on lawn chairs in the driveway. When they were finished, they looked to their wives for a reaction, only to find that the wives had been gossiping and not paying any attention the entire time.
I can't believe they cut this out! They have the English Setter in the scene, he looks just like my Jakey!!!!
A M A Z I N G
MASTERPIECE, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE FILM
For years, I had wondered why he was walking the streets with a bottle! The added context was subtle but illuminating. I would have been driven to drink after the incident as well!
So that's where he got that bottle
Him walking down the street drinking a bottle of wine makes a lot more sense now.
Exactly!!!
Wine? Champagne you worthless peasant.
As a music teacher i can relate....it hurts my soul to see that cene....things we go through for money....
Imagine inviting Mozart into your home to play you something on the piano, and then you bring your barking dogs into the room to interrupt him.
My best childhood friends uncle was good friends with Tom Hulce (whom is from nearby Plymouth Michigan where I grew up) and in the late 1970s, I got to meet Tom at my friends house just shortly after Tom was in Animal house with John Belushi. He was very nice and told many funny jokes.
Salieri did this deliberately to humiliate Mozart. It was his way of getting back at a composer, regardless of his genius, whom he regarded as a smart-alecky boy-brat. Mozart played beautifully in this scene, once again illustrating his tremendous instrumental skills, and he was angry as hell when he realized this rich couple were only using him, and could care less about his abilities. So it goes with some artists....
Thanks for detailing that Cpt Obvious!
I had no idea!😳------- j/k! 😁
I think Salieri had something to do with alienating Mozart...he states later on in the movie to the baron, about how "he succeeding in practically alienating all of Vienna" - to include the rich family in this scene, when Mozart...well, begs for money from him. I hate to think that Salieri did this, as well...or maybe these people weren't even friends or trusted, longtime associates of his to begin with...or maybe it was Salieri who "successfully alienated Mozart from all of Vienna", except for this rich family...
may be in the movie.
But both "real" Mozart and Salieri were not as purported in this movie.
You know, hollywood must have a bad guy and a nice guy....
Salieri and Mozart were rivals, but Salieri did not cause his death. Ironically the film created an interest in Salieri's music.
Whats awesome is that the film location , Prague, looks exactly the same now. So cool walking the cobblestone streets with years of history all around you.
3:39 This part is the best when he walk in the street with that music and those people.
whats the name of the piece？
This is one time Salieri gets the better of Mozart! Great scene that definitely should have stayed in the film.
On my DVD version this scene is not delected! It is part of the film!
@@gergelycsallo5133 WOW!!!!
You must have the super special directors cut that ANYONE can get!
Ass.
I love how they were dressed up
He takes that bottle like he is James Bond lol
Well I suppose he figured (correctly) he wasn't going to be paid any other way
You mean: James Bond takes bottles like he’s Mozart.
One of my favourite part of the film Amadeus.
For me is imposible not to watch the Director's cut. How could that scene be deleted? It's amazing!
Yea definitely worth the extra money
It's a great scene but I guess it didn't move the plot along enough so could be simply cut.
The dogs were just annoying
Wonderful scene that should have stayed in the film. Must be nice for a producer to have such a good movie that this could be removed and the finished product still be top notch.
thanks for the info. I've been trying to figure this out for quite a while.
The filmmaker said it was cut only for length. The director's cut is three full hours. Many theaters won't stand for that.
this girl was so cute😘
"Getting married was really easy back then, I think :-D"
If you are rich. Well, nothing has changed.
STAYING married is the trick.
Fucking Mozart, was beautiful as fuck.
sarcasm?
Deleted scene? In Italy there was.
Cheers, Yoda
@@snizzpip LMAO
Pure in Argentina!
I like it how the end turns dramatically
It's a shame they took this scene out. It brings everything together up this part.
When I walked through Prague I was whistling this tune remembering the movie and watching the same houses and streets... miss it so much
Good times...
3:59 Herr Mozart checking her out
For years, I never knew there was a directors cut that was 3 hours long. When I finally watched it, it explained away a few different parts of the movie that never made sense to me, the biggest one being why Constanze seemed to have a disdain for Salieri. And this scene here leads so perfectly into the next scene which I never knew I needed lol
Not sure how I got here, but I enjoyed it.
I really appreciated seeing this scene as It explains where he got a bottle of champagne being in such financial straits at the time.
I relate to this scene very much, i play piano, I’m an alcoholic, and i find the barking of dogs absolutely insufferable.
Asshole
I can relate to this scene too. I'm a barking dog and I find pianos absolutely insufferable.
It’s actually a harpsichord lol.😂
@@jule8280 it is a Pianoforte, I think, since it's pretty different from the modern piano
@@farrelpermadi5471 interesting I’ve never heard of a Pianoforte before. Is is like a mix between a harpsichord and a modern piano?
DOGGIES!
Why and where this scene was deleted? Actually when I watched the film though the internet, this scene was there. It wasn't deleted
The more common version nowadays is the Director’s Cut, in which this scene is present. The theatrical cut is shorter and doesn’t have this scene in it.
I’ve always watched the director’s cut and I never thought that this wasn’t on the final version!
I can’t stop watching these clips! I should watch the movie
Anyone notice how the three footsteps of Leopold at 4:30 mirror the 3 bangs before the Commendatore breaks down the wall in the Don Giovanni opera scene later in the film?
I hate dogs, cats are quiet, and can be left on their own.
An Academy Award-winning masterpiece where Mozart gets so pissed off at a bunch of dogs that he binge drinks and slaps a horse's butt
in all fairness, the horse was stepping back into him
@@punchkitten874 yeah that horse was totally asking for it
Thanks! Never saw that seen until now - and I used to have the DVD back in the day!
- You are a funny fellow!
- Funny how?
;)
Underrated comment 😂😂😂
Perfect portrayal of dog-nuttery. Love this film!
