To me this piece is a perfect depiction of life. It starts off very simple and as it progresses it gets more involved. In the end it slows and brings you back to that simple beginning as life finally comes to an end. It is my favorite classical piece.
I saw this film when it was first shown, this beautiful music was used for the end ,along with the credits,I remember nobody left the cinema till the music had finished.
yes it was the same for me .. opening weekend in a big Los Angeles theater.. you could hear a pin drop during the closing music and credits . never experienced that before or since
Our art teacher took us to see this film upon it’s release on a field trip. I grew up in the inner city and had never heard classical music. I left dumbstruck, simply dumbstruck.
I consider Mozart to be one of the finest artists in human history. His music is perfection. When I saw the film, and watched them shoveling lime onto his dead body, in the pauper's grave, I wept. It was horrible. It still brings tears to my eyes, every time I think of that.
@@TheGreatPerahia let me also add he went to his grave with so much more music like this that we missed out on. Or at least for now because I believe we'll get to hear it later when we leave hear it.
Agree fully Rex! On a 1962 trip to Italy, the wife & I stopped for a few days in Florence. She had to see Michelangelo's statue of David. Went when it opened at 8 AM & had the Academia to ourselves for almost 15 minutes. The statue is under a skylight to highlight it and as we walked down the corridor, I noted she had tears cascading down her cheeks & soon mine too!!! Life DOES have its moments of majesty!!!
Probably my favorite movie. I am and will always be a Mozart fan. To me, there is no one else close to his depth and genius!!! Absolutely a natural. When we leave this earth we can hear the rest of his works!!!
I couldn't agree more, even with the first sentence since it's my favorite movie too. This movie made me love Mozart again. Now I listen to his music nearly daily lol.
Many years ago, I read a note by Woody Allen - an avowed agnostic - about Mozart’s “Jupiter Symphony” and was very surprised to read Allen’s comment concerning the final coda of the 4th movement, in which Mozart weaves together all of themes of the movement into one rich, majestic polyphonic conclusion. He said that after hearing the coda, (and I’m paraphrasing) that one can only conclude that there is a God!
Just watched this today and after all this time brings tears to my eyes. What a genius, contributed so much to mankind. Just beautiful, and like it was dictated to him by God, Spirit, whatever you want to call it, amazing!
".... and the IV act.... was astounding" Those words of Salieri re The Marriage of Figaro in the film, sum this up perfectly too. Pause to think how the genius himself would feel some 250 years later, knowing that his music is still being played and is so much loved .... and will continue to be so, for many many years to come.
Mozart is the greatest composer of all. Beethoven created his music, but the music of Mozart is of such purity and beauty that one feels he merely found it-that it has always existed as part of the inner beauty of the universe waiting to be revealed. (Albert Einstein)
Like the Salieri portrayed in this movie I could easily identify with both his intense jealousy of Mozart's musical genius and his self righteous judgement of Mozart's crude behaviour. I have been convicted of the latter and with respect to Mozart's peerless prodigality (with maybe the exception of Beethoven) I have come to realise that enjoying the music and recognising its incomparable beauty is a compensatory gift almost the equal of being able to write it.
This film gave new life to my love of 'classical' music, not least because of the glorious music. But also because of the screenplay. Imagine, being at the top of your game, best buds with the Emperor, all of Vienna lapping up your music then along comes Mozart and you realise you're ordinary at best. It's heart-breaking and F. Murray (who really deserved to win 'best Oscar of all time ever') played it to perfection. "Mediocrities everywhere, I absolve you...I absolve you all."
I love how, at the tail end of the movie, the middle movement to the Piano Concerto No. 20 plays so blissfully. Some of the prettiest music you've ever heard. Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields almost nail it. Yet, I can't find the name of the pianist. If you know, let me know. I've heard a dozen or more attempts at this movement, and they all rush it. If they were to simply slow their pace down just a bit, the beauty of the music would emerge.
At least salieri had the dignity to appreciate Mozart's work, even in his times when Mozart was a flop in Venice, only Salieri appreciated his music and even called it a work of art. We need more Salieris
The most beautiful song ever written. I grew up in the 60s and 70s and have always said, Mozart, Beatles and Peter Gabriel were the greatest in that order
Love this movie, my favorite parts were when they would look at the sheet music and hear the music in their heads as they read. Each instrument would come in one by one, and the layers become much more obvious. Mozart has been around for centuries, I wonder if Kesha will be.
i think i was just being sarcastic, as if ebuz218 thought only 8,197 people had ever listened to this piece on youtube, when in fact there are many recordings on youtube will many more views
You mean like different versions? because I think what their trying to say is that nobody appreciates the music Wolfie originally wrote, not the different versions, that's rubbish to me. They weren't talking about every different version out there just so you know.......... 0.o
I do believe I'm right in saying that aren't I court composer? Yes your excellency yes on the whole. This is absurd. Dont take it so hard young man you have written a fine piece and there are simply too many notes just cut a few and it'll be perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!etc.
Mozarts hatte auch mit Depressionen zu kämpfen....Das merkt ein guter Hörer....Mich macht dieser 2Teil vom 20.Klavierkonzert auch glücklich und melancholisch!🤔
Everything is so perfect and harmonic... I could listen it for centuries... Except, I just have to say, that sudden beat at 4:32, it really bothers me for some reason, I feel like it doesn't belong to this masterpiece. Just my opinion though.
It is a thematic gear change, and provides the perfectly needed dissonance to take the piece into a flight from the foundational theme, and to return to it.
Mediocrities...everywhere!
I absolve you!

Same here way back then. Bravo!!!!!!
I don't no why, but the way Mozarts music sounds, my heart and brain tell me ,,that's it!"
I speak for all mediocrity. I am their champion...I am their patron saint!
One of the most elegant, beautifully constructed pieces I have ever heard. It has it all.
I consider Mozart to be one of the finest artists in human history. His music is perfection. When I saw the film, and watched them shoveling lime onto his dead body, in the pauper's grave, I wept. It was horrible. It still brings tears to my eyes, every time I think of that.
@@TheGreatPerahia let me also add he went to his grave with so much more music like this that we missed out on. Or at least for now because I believe we'll get to hear it later when we leave hear it.
he was not quite 36 when he died. imagine if he had lived to 80 -- the music we would have had.
but I'm grateful that we have as much of it as we do.

Fortunately , there are statues of Mozart in Vienna and Saltzbeŕg .
@@TheGreatPerahia The truth is nobody knows those so called royalties but everyone knows mozart , beethoven and greatest artists.

It's my Top 1 too
He was the very first Super Star
Quando deixarmos essa terra a gente vai pra um lugar em se ouve música? Que lugar é esse amigo?
Mozart was not 'a musician'. He was (and is) a pillar of human civilization.
With all due respect, I think you missed the point of the movie on that score.
@@michaelhall2709 The "movie" is a farce.
Mozart was an arch angel, sent to earth to be proved by the Almighty. Mozart was murdered by envious satanic minions.

Pure beauty ; pure Genius of Mozart

I was having such a bad day today, then I listened to this... and my soul was uplifted. Such a wonderful piece.
Essa peça de alguma forma dá uma energia pra suportar momentos em que eu não tenho mais nenhuma esperança nesse mundo
Talvez exista um lugar melhor que viver nesse mundo mas não acredito muito nisso

(Albert Einstein)
Beethoven is more powerful and Vivaldi at times is more "technical". But no one's music is as perfectly sublime as Mozarts'.
Gracia Maestro Wolfgang
Perfectly sublime and sublimely perfect.
He was the sort of musical genius one only sees every few centuries
Beethoven was a leech. He took all of Mozart's "unfinished" works and called them his own. His "power" was satanic.
This music makes you sad, than hsppy tearful happy sad and happy again...emotional rollercoaster...masterpiece
The most beautifull piano concerto of all times!
@Anthony Vu : I dully agree many many thanks
how old are you now man you commented 1o years ago
its not very uncommon to find comments that are over 10 years old, maybe he is 25 or 30, we will likely not know@@kasayebelay5773
Großer Film, mit noch größerer Musik!Ein Masterpiece!🙏💜
Meisterwerk ist auch schön
They say it's impossible to be perfect. Well, this music is.
The voice of God.
The voice of man. Why give it up so easily?
@@pt9046 that goes to Chopin bro
Absolute masterpiece. Definitely in my top 5 favorite films. Arguably my favorite next to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
this film and one flew over was both directed by Miloš Forman😉
Can't help hearing Mozart's high-pitched laughter AHAHAHAHAH...and it fills me with infinite sadness
LET'S MAKE IT BIGGER! 21st Century needs to know that good music still exists, or at least existed
2:02 to about 2:44 is the perfect distillation of mozart IMO and why i love his music the mostest most

Nunca termino de disfrutarla!
Absolutely wonderfull...
