Hence the rare double nomination of both Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Oscars. Finally F. Murray Abraham got it.
But Mozart is limited on his classical strictless which greatly limited the many possibilities compare to the later the romantic era such as Rachmaninoff with his ingenius 18th variation on the theme of Paganini.
The thing was Mozart wasn't mocking or insulting Salieri at all, at least not intentionally, he was just into the joy of creation, in taking something and improving on it.
I'm not entirely sure. Mozart spent the majority of his early years in courts, performing for high ranking officials, and would have been very well aware of what was appropriate vs not. Also in the movie, although he later becomes dependent on Salieri, he also regards him as pompous and antiquated, and didn't hesitate to mock him. Or is the movie suggesting that Mozart was simply oblivious to his blunder, out of the sheer enjoyment the variations gave him? It's hard to imagine that would be true, since music had been his literal job for years at that point. There's no better way to kill passion for anything that to make it your vocation, which was stringently enforced on him. Anyways, I'm just thinking outloud (or into the internet sphere lol)
@@sitcomchristian6886 I only know of the Mozart / Salieri relationship through this movie, so I might be a little off balance, however in the beginning Mozart is totally dismissive of Salieri and his works, but as time progresses and Mozart spends more money and gets deeper into debt, then he (and his wife) have to turn to Salieri for loans. Of course that leads to Salieris plan to seek revenge by pressuring Mozart into writing (ultimately on his death bed) his Requiem. Sort of the ultimate come back. Of course, as I initially stated, all of this is gleaned from the movie. No hard historical facts from me unfortunately.
Reminds me of a story I read about Beethoven. Another composer, by the name of Diabelli, sent out a piece of his to all the other composers in the area, asking for them to each provide a single variation. Beethoven provided over THIRTY variations 🤣.
If I remember right Beethoven admired Goethe and opposite yet they didn't get along with each other. Goethe thought Beethoven was mad and Beethoven despised Goethe's kowtowing to courtly etiquette. Beethoven also quipped about one less-than-brilliant work he did that "what I s**t is better than anything you can make" and very much was right.
I would take that as a HUGE compliment, that anybody liked my one piece to sit down and play around with it enough to come up with over thirty variations, let alone Beethoven.
One version of the story(which probably isn't true but is fun anyway) is that Beethoven turned down Diabelli's request at first, but since Diabelli kept on insisting and pleading that Beethoven write just one variation, Beethoven himself turned up at Diabelli's doorstep one day and threw a bunch of papers at his face saying "you keep on asking me for just one variation. I wrote you over 30. Are you satisfied now? Don't bother me anymore." and stormed off.
Especially when you consider that one of Salieri's pieces of advice to Mozart later in the film is to include a "bang" at the end to signal the song has ended. Here Mozart adds a simple "bang" to end the song almost mockingly.
Mozart's "that doesn't really work, does it?" followed by his experimentation with a couple of improvements is my favorite part of this clip. It shows composition as a dynamic, ongoing activity rather than a static regime.
The song that Mozart plays on the piano comes from his opera "The Marriage of Figaro," which is one of the movie's central themes about love and commitment. It's part of the overture and the song from Figaro singing about his future wedding to Susanna and their wedding bed to see if the bed will fit in their new room. Mozart's memory was astounding. There was an apocryphal story about him listening as a teenager to famous choral music about Psalm 51. This choral piece, "Miserere mei, Deus," written by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri, was made for the Sistine Chapel and was never published. After hearing it once, Mozart supposedly went home and accurately wrote the whole work from memory, note by note, on paper. There is much doubt this event ever happened in Mozart's life. On the other hand, historians believe Mozart had an IQ of 155 and could fluently speak and write fifteen languages. He had written over 600 pieces in all genres of Classical music, including opera. Nobody else has ever come close to the mastery of music as Mozart did in his short life. After Mozart wrote his next opera, "Don Giovanni," Haydn was taken aback by it when he said he could not compete with Mozart even if he tried. His perfect pitch and hearing were so acute that it affected his life because if one note was off, he would become ill. Mozart could constantly hear music in his head before he could write them down. For example, Mozart wrote the overture of "Don Giovanni" one hour before the orchestra could perform it. If Mozart did not die at the age 35, what music he could have written would be breathtaking and mindboggling.
Just everything here is perfect. The camera work, the script, the acting. I love the cut to the other room where the clergy slowly move to get a better look at Mozart at the piano. This scene NEVER gets tired for me.
Mozarts Improvisation is actually very fucking basic and simple, yet, even that simplicity, is unmatched by anyone. That’s why he is such a fucking genius
@@godfrey_of_america sorry mate, cursing is my usual practice, I refer my friends as “assholes” “motherfuckers” “cocksucker” but in Cantonese, since I am from Hong Kong.
@@eugenvonbismarck5029 Improvising is an art in itself. If you can improvise using basic melody and harmony, but on the spot, and it works, you're way up there. J.S. Bach was also an incredible genius at improvising. Apparently he did it with counterpoint and fugues as well. That's extremely impressive.
When I saw this scene for the first time in the movie, it became my yardstick for what real genius must be like. Of course, Mozart's music did have it's weaknesses--- "Too many notes!"
I saw that movie at Skyline Mall when I was in high school. I clearly remember leaving the theater, walking around to the ticket booth and buying a ticket for the next show.
I attended a terrific, memorable and unique show by F. Murray Abraham in Boulder's Chautauqua Auditorium in which he led a discussion wherein the local orchestra played multiple pieces and you had to guess if each one was Salieri or Mozart. Lots of fun and not so obvious!
Putting aside that this is a real tune by Mozart fron the song 'Non Piu Andrai': I think Salieri's shift into A minor wasn't that bad, and Mozart's first take on it where he combines his arpeggiated ascent in the right hand with A minor chords in the left is good
In simple terms, Mozart is stretching out the possibilities of the chords in the progression. He's unafraid to dwell on a chord, tease it out and resolve it, then plunge it back into the fray for more resolution/dissolution. It's playful exploration. Salieri is self-conscious, self-critical, cautious and untrusting of himself. He cares too much of what others will say or think. Mozart cares about what he himself thinks and enjoys journeying into his imagination. He's been doing it so long that he has his best ideas available on tap. It always boils down to why you're doing it. Are you happily/angrily/bravely/sadly confronting your own inner world or are you trying to run from it and mimic the results of others successfully doing the same?
What are you talking about? The harmonic structure in Mozart's version moves at the same pace as it does in the Salieri version. He's not dwelling on any chords longer than in Salieri's version, he's using the exact same harmonic structure but adding more rhythmic activity. The problem with Salieri's version is that it has no rhythmic life to it.
In fact, Mozart pays homage to Salieri; he did not mock him. He composed a variation on this theme in the aria "non piu andrai" from The Wedding of Figaro
I and V7 with a few vi and IV - not unlike folk/rock from the 60s to now - Bob Dylan and John Denver. It's the rhythm and melodic shapes that makes Mozart so catchy. Also mashing up "Non più andrai" with that Salieri march was movie music direction brilliance.
The producer had the brilliant idea of creating a trifle (which actually never existed) with the harmonic base of Non piu andrai, from the Nose de figaro. In this way, he uses that famous melody as a fictitious improvisation on the trifle. Brilliant
Este é um filme que não canso de assistir! Esse momento de Mozart tocar muito além da música de Salieri e causar um espanto em todos, são cenas que não saem da cabeça! Simplesmente Fantástico!!!!
At 1:13 there is a mistake more specifically at the mesure 27. Mozart plays only four quarter notes with his right hand G,E,G,B. On the score there are 2 quarter notes and 4 quavers.

It's just a Hollywood movie. In reality Salieri was pretty good (he was Beethoven's teacher, for starters). And composers don't work _at all_ like it's shown here, be it Mozart or Salieri. Finally, one opportunity wasted, both by the original playwright and the movie, was the fact that Franz Mesmer, the famous reasercher into hypnosis (called "animal magnetism" back then, the word "mesmerised" comes from his name) lived in Vienna at the time and was actually a big fan of Mozart's music.
Mozart borrowed the opening theme motive of Clementi famous piano sonata in B flat Op 24 No 2 in his Overture to the Magic Flute.A composer to whom he criticized as 'mere mechanic' !
@@johnnelson3665 They were friends, he helped Mozart carrer, also he had much more money, but mozart was most like post death recognized, this is a cool fiction, but lack reality.
Jay Nordlinger, a music and political opinon writer I like opined that someone like Mozart doesn't "struggle" to create. No waste paper baskets filled with crumpled paper. No all-nighters. He would sit, think, "This will sound good." and then compose something that does sound good.
The fun thing in this movie is that Mozart is shown as not really caring about who is better, He just LOOOOOOVES music as music itself. Salieri is the lesser composer because he composes for his own glory. Mozart is the better composer because he looks beyond personal glory to the art itself.
Salieri is way ahead of his time with the last three dissonance harmonic sounding chords from 20th century music development in this little piece of music. Mozart is still searching and wondering if they are 'right' from his more traditional and highly restricted Classical era training !
You could say that. But you could also see that Salieri learned music the same way Mozart did. Thats why quite technically Salieris work is sloppy compared to Mozarts variation on it.
@@malcolmhouston7932 it’s not pure fiction. It is Mozarts story, but obviously during a movie you have to condense the story into smaller parts. So the beginning and the end point of every scene are accurate according to witnesses, but what happens during the scene is just a summary. It’s not a 1:1 representation.
@@malcolmhouston7932 You're right. The movie plays with a conspiracy theory. I don't think the director was intending a documentary. There are some things that are factual, but the intent was to tell a good story.
What's truly amusing about the scene is that Mozart is so innocent of the ways of court that hasn't the slightest notion he's just publicly humiliated Salieri and created a formidable enemy.
lol people who complain this movie isn’t historically accurate… This is NOT a documentary. Like Oscar Wilde once wrote, great artists usually lived a very boring lifestyle and it simply wouldn’t make a good movie if it’s an actual depiction of Mozart’s life. Plus, anyone who’s angry that this movie “insulted” Salieri, ask yourself, when’s the last time you heard this Salieri’s music being played in a concert or on TV or on RUclips? the reality is this man would have been completely forgotten by the world if not because this movie insulting him lol.
❤The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness. It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That small detail in acting, is the diffrence between a good and a great actor. Just look at Salieris (Fahrid Murray Abraham) eyes, swtiching from the Piano and towards Mozart during the performance. 1:52 Ps.: The Emperor "that´s good, but too many notes" ☺
It made such a mark in my memory albeit so long ago. Hilarious, but also: The moment the horse drawn, glass hearse pulls around in a light snow- for a moment, you realize what it might have been like to live, and/or die in Vienna, (or Prague) in 1791. He was still only 35. Nothing would keep you from transpiring from whatever it was in that day. I've got to see it again.
Amazing, at the end of his life Mozart remembered this incident and composed "Contredanses, K. 609: 1 in C Major" So it's indeed original Mozart. People said to me, it was Simon Preston who wrote Mozarts Part.
In this movie, Jeffrey Jones looks just like Emperor Joseph II. Look up paintings of Emperor Joseph II, then look at the emperor in this film. They have the same big round head and facial structure.
The rest is just the same isn’t it?
Brutal
Yes it is
Innit
Tempo!
Completely out of reality. Salieri is Mozart's Italian opera consultant !
A classic example of proper casting. The best antagonist paired to the best protagonist made this movie such a gem.
Hence the rare double nomination of both Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the Oscars. Finally F. Murray Abraham got it.
But the real question is which one was the protagonist and which one was the antagonist? :) lol
Hulce was a giggling twerp! Just annoying.
Imagine having Mozart make a variation on something you wrote...that would be so cool.
But Mozart is limited on his classical strictless which greatly limited the many possibilities compare to the later the romantic era such as Rachmaninoff with his ingenius 18th variation on the theme of Paganini.
Mozart is no comparison to J S Bach but one of his rare contrapuntal composition do come very close.
Highly doubt it, the dude died a long time ago.
Most Eric Cartman sounding comment that would be dope tho
He kind of used to do it.
In his late concerts he would ask for themes from the audience and then improvise on them.
we tend to forget that Salieri was the greatest admirer of Mozart.
Didn't Salieri invent kung fu just so he could murder him?
@@LAVATORR yes, and yet it's racist to point that out.
mozart was a big fan of salieri too because he had a stable job as composer and mozart had to teach people to earn money
He also taught one of Mozart's sons
And Beethoven's teacher as well.
All actors in this episode are just brilliant masters of facial expression acting.
The look of white hot rage on Salieri's face though

Yes, and he was even trying to HELP Salieri make it better.
@@mydogskips2 Salieri did not need any Mozart help lol

The point wasn’t that Salieri wasn’t a very talented composer. His greatness just happened to be eclipsed by Mozart’s savant-like genius
My father said Salieri could have been the “Verdi of the 18th century” as an Italian composer, if he hadn’t heard of Mozart.
When you are good you look pathetic when compared to savant.
Greatness?? Really???

Geez Lar M was really put out by this video and by Mozart in general.
Mozart didn't laugh in his whole life like that with over 30 years under the strict control of his father since he was 4.
❤The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness.
It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Grazie per lo spartito!
Good old Salieri! At the best of times it's tough being a jobbing musician. Just Googled him: Beethoven was one of his pupils!
A absolute genius
1:20 => this is where you hear the genius
0:27 Salieri's March.
1:08 Wedding Of Figaro.
Too many notes 🤣🎶
When Eddie Van Halen plays a Clapton tune.
Mediocrity sinks in the river of time, talents float on the surface. And only geniuses walk on water.
This tune is just beautiful.
That small detail in acting, is the diffrence between a good and a great actor. Just look at Salieris (Fahrid Murray Abraham) eyes, swtiching from the Piano and towards Mozart during the performance. 1:52
Ps.: The Emperor "that´s good, but too many notes" ☺
“Too many notes”
Just as many as it takes to make a masterpiece.
The punishment for Salieri was that he was the only one who really understood Mozart's genius and also knew that by comparison he was mediocre...
He's like, WTF are you doing Tony?! I brought you into this business!
It made such a mark in my memory albeit so long ago. Hilarious, but also: The moment the horse drawn, glass hearse pulls around in a light snow- for a moment, you realize what it might have been like to live, and/or die in Vienna, (or Prague) in 1791. He was still only 35. Nothing would keep you from transpiring from whatever it was in that day. I've got to see it again.
I loved this movie
No hay nada que hacerle... cuando se es un genio, se es un genio.
The saddest thing about this great film is the theatrical cut couldn't be made into a 4k release.
Imagina que Mozart hace una variación de algo que escribiste
Amazing, at the end of his life Mozart remembered this incident and composed "Contredanses, K. 609: 1 in C Major" So it's indeed original Mozart. People said to me, it was Simon Preston who wrote Mozarts Part.
That laugh at the end! 😂😂😂
In this movie, Jeffrey Jones looks just like Emperor Joseph II. Look up paintings of Emperor Joseph II, then look at the emperor in this film. They have the same big round head and facial structure.
the notes to "grazie signore" in the last part is F and U
Um génio!
bro he freestyled a whole piece, Mozart was built different
that little laugh at the end XD
Grazie, Signore.
Salieri must've been a great musician too since he was the music teacher of Mozart's children
the king (or whatever he is) seems like a pretty cool guy...
I always found this scene funny since Liszt made a transcription of this that’s about as wild as you would imagine it to be
Well, there it is.
Thank you Mozart!!!
