I agree, hear Salieri's gasp of amazement at 4:49 when Mozart says "arpeggios". He immediately knew they were the perfect addition

It never happened like this!

"From now on, we are enemies - You and I. Because You choose for Your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation."

Salieri was a grand Master and it wouldn't be that difficult for anyone on his level to fully orchestrate based on that few instructions. It was common for composers to write short hands and abbreviations and left the rest for the player or the maestro to complete.

@@dougmaus4468 nope that was a gasp as in “ur going too fast”

Doesn't require a genius lol anyone with basic education can do thism

basic education in music

the point most people ignore is that this is fiction. Peter Schafer just used Mozard and Salieri as tropes to portray his metaphorical conflict between genius and mediocrity. By no means was Salieri ever mediocre and Mozart the superhuman musical genius in an infantile pervy man. Also, I doubt Mozart laughed like a chicken! That said, this movie is one of the best of all time.

​@@alexandresobreiramartins9461he was quite "infantile and pervy" though😂

​@@alexandresobreiramartins9461in letters, his laugh was described as "Infectiously giddy" or "metal scraping glass"

The movie does portray Salieri being highly respected in his time, remember how the emperor reacts to all of his operas positively, whereas he always has some complaint or another with mozart's, it does however show that by the time that Salieri died, his music wasn't remembered as well, which was absolutely true.

@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 this movie's portrayal of mozart was pretty dead on historically, and i don't see a need to erase what you don't like about him. from his own letters to his family, he loved fart and shit jokes and as others have said, he had a cackling laugh. and i find that very endearing about him. and have you listened to salieri's music? i have and it's astounding how forgettable it is. to quote shakespeare, 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'

F. Murray Abraham

Completely agree

I loved f Murray Abraham in The Bridge of San Luis Rey and Three Days of Rain. A masterful actor.

He's a really wonderful actor. I loved him in The Grand Budapest Hotel, too. He's not in it much, but when he's on screen he steals the whole show.

It's bad both were nominated for best actor cause both gave Oscar deserving performances.

Absolutely!! We'll said ! That would have been the cherry on top of this masterpiece!

This is Mozart not John Nash. 😂

@@Johnconno huh nobody said anything about John Nash

​@@TheHolyMongolEmpireHe's referencing A Beautiful Mind where a similar visual happens.

​@@giovannieriksandu2432 doesn't change the fact you shouldn't be watching that stuff as a kid

@@victorvillatoro7241 I watched it as a kid and appreciated it back then. I appreciate it even more so now as an adult. I grew up learning classical instruments so maybe that was why it had such a profound effect on me.

in college, at grambling state university, there was a portion of the marching band that formed a quintet, and they all could do this. I play the piano. I am out of practice, but I could listen to a song and then go to the music hall and play the whole thing, but the trumpet player was just like Mozart. I would say write it down. I miss those guys. lost touch after graduation.

I remember heard from TwoSetViolin that this is the ability music university teach. They said that is the foundation of music education

irl salieri also was a great composer. in the movie he totally forgets abt his plots and just stares in awe at what he is witnessing

Every composition major is expected to be able to do this to some extent. People are always blown away music could be heard internally by reading it, but what's really impressive is to be able to come up with such music in the first place.

All musicians can rad a score and “Hear”. the music. We feel desperately sorry for those who can not

I had watched a video about Hayden and it was mentioned that Salieri conducted Mozart's requiem for Frans Joseph funeral

Franz Sussamyr his he's son

@@jamesmecs7627 Mozart yongest son's name was also Franz. Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart. It is known that Mozart named his son after his pupil, Sussmayr. Franz Sussmayr was one of his pupils and he is the one who finished the Requiem - especially Sanctus-Benedictus & Agnus Dei is his sole composition but it's believed that he did so by referencing many of Mozart work and instruction he left. Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart also led his life as a composer but unfortunately, he wasn't as successful as his father. His work remained in the frame of classical age but the trend in his time already transitioned to Romantic age.

@@motherlandmars5999 then why were they all Christian lol

Amazing. I always assumed the pause was due to A-minor being such a melancholy chord. This scene is a masterpiece. Holy shit.

Also when he says: "sotto voce", write it down! Didn't know about the ear plug, interesting, thank you

I didn’t know that! Awesome!

danke Dir - Thank you macht das Ganze noch interessanter. makes the whole scene more interesting than it was ever before. Denn man kann sich vorstellen wie komponieren, wie Mozart es konnte fast mathematisch ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit ist, dennoch möglich war. Because just because this we can image how composing, the way Mozart did is if you see it in mahtematics way a "no possible at all", although he could it.

It always made me think of what Salieri said about Mozart when reading his scores of music when Costanza secretly brought them to him. "It was like he was taking dictation from god". In that moment he was pondering A minor, but really, he was waiting divine inspiration.

Second that. I cannot believe this comment does not have a million thumbs up!!

U can't? I can. We live in a time when people consider Kanye West a musical genius. They are incapable of appreciating something this brilliant. Its a shame that the best music that ever was, classical music, is the least popular. At least Big Band, Jazz, Rock'n'Roll even with all the sub categories still involved writing music and instruments. Now? crap.

@@miket7281 -- I can't believe we live in a time where Kanye West is considered a musical genius.

Becauae most people like shit and not real music bro

I was thinking the same thing. :-)

The way I interpreted it was that Wolfgang composed the entire movement in his head during the pause.

@@matthewallen1834 Yes. Because apart from filming conditions, this is what actually happened in story. By accident (device malfunction on the set) they've expressed beautifully the mystery of creation.

@ Motherland Mars… not to deny any God, yours or mine, if there is one composer that totally immerse himself in his music and true greatness of his genius created the music without the presence of any God, is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, read his many biographies, all state that he put church apart from his music. No Allah, no God, A Man and his genius A hundred year before Nietzsche

@@motherlandmars5999 stop bringing religion where it isnt needed. Are you saying allah also gave him his downfall?

If you're taking any sort of serious music class you've already seen it. A few times.

This is my favourite part. I really wonder if it was already complete in his head and he just suffered the impatience to get it down on paper . I'm not religious but I like the part where Salieri refered to it being as if he was taking dictation from God.

I'm watching it in History lol

I don't believed that for a second

@@arthurscumbagmorgan2339 I am a musician and I know quite a few people that have sang in Mozart's Requiem. It actually is a piece of music and it does get performed, therefore there are people that have performed it. It happens.

@@shadowmistress999 admittedly, a lot of what he does makes sense to trained musicians. It's just that realizing as you're looking at the music that everything makes perfect sense and fits is different than being able to write it yourself.

I was thinking the same exact thing but didn't know exactly how to express that thought. well said.

@@shadowmistress999 Yeah, I can imagine he wrote that in a very short amount of time. If the ideas are all there, he could create it, he was a genius.

Totally agree. Tom Hulce off the scale. Pity they couldn't have 2 best actor Oscars for this exceptional piece of culture. It's not just spectacular cinema and music, it's an epic human conflict story to rival any classic one can choose. Adore this entire movie for a myriad reasons. 💖

Sorry to disappoint you, it’s not Mozart’s music, blind fanzone idolotary does no good to anyone. The Confutatis theme is lifted directly from Anfossi’s Sinfonia Venezia (second movement) though what Mozart does with it is indeed, very special.

@@elaineblackhurst1509 All art is a cross fertilisation. And as you say, it's what Mozart dies with it. You don't need to invent stuff from scratch to qualify. Cheers

@@maryvasilakakos7387 Sorry but this is pseudo-intellectual would-be gobbledegook; not sure where exactly Mozart ‘dies’ (sic), but what I said was pretty straightforward, and it certainly didn’t need any sort of correction from yourself.

I cried, too.

When he drops the “Now for the real fire” line, it is shocking.

Those 4 little measures at Voca Me...instant tears. The passion in the entire section is just unreal. And then comes the Lachrymosa...the buildup brings me to tears just thinking about it.

irl they respected each other and hadnt any type of animosity. maybe salieri even respected mozart more than mozart respected salieri, as in one letter to his father mozart talks shit abt the italians

There is so much irony in this scene. Salieri wanted nothing more than to be an instrument of God for music, and by helping Mozart, he became that instrument but not in the way he had imagined or wanted.

They should release a special edition where they have the notes and effects from the video playing on the bottom of the screen during selected scenes like this.

@@Kriegsbeil5577 exactly like this. The CGI in this video would have been perfect for the movie. Although the CGI for Amadeus was done in 1982, I'm sure they could have conjured up something similar for the CGI technology of the time.

I think it's best the way it is, however it's amazing to have the privilege of seeing it this way as well

And the most astonishing thing: Mozart had completed this ... IN HIS HEAD ... and was merely dictating it to be written down. It was already completely written before a single word was spoken.

@@carolynzaremba5469 Same. The notation didn't confuse me, really. The issues I had were how to know exactly which notes harmonize well with others. Once I saw the score here, it made so much more sense. Plus my ear isn't perfect either.

Notes are notes, only the tone color is different

Cool. I am a string player and for me it is vox and basic chords in the beginning.

This story is fictional don't be so gullible

Salieri does an amazing job following Mozart in this scene. Even for a world-class musician like Salieri, he would definitely have some difficulty following Mozart's staccato-like demands but in the end be able to write the composition accurately once he understands the entire part.

I think your word 'tragedy' is too rich. It spiced up Salieri's life, despite the emotional roller coaster. It's akin to Noel Redding (an ok guitarist who switched to bass) backing up genius Jimi Hendrix.

He did get lost for a moment but as a musician himself all he needed is some little direction and he went back on track. All of this film is one superb story. What's tragic is Mozart's very short life.

@@stellviahohenheim chill out angry boy

Jesus аnswered, “I аm the wаy аnd the truth аnd the life. Nо оne cоmes tо the Fаther except thrоugh me. John 14:6 ⭐✝

He absolutely did. You can tell, because his scores are typically written with very little to no revisions/corrections/mistakes. Unlike Beethoven, who worked tirelessly with lots of sketches and musical ideas in notebooks and random scraps of paper, Mozart apparently wrote most of his music down in one go, which would suggest he really did envision the entire piece in his mind before he even picked up a quill.

Mozarts mind!, i can often feel his music. My assumption is Mozart had some addiction, and mental health issues,. And I can feel that dynamic, that power in his music as I'm a kindred spirt.

Did… you just call him Wolfie? /j

@@jxff2000 Yes, why not? I believe that was the nickname used by his friends and family. I’m neither but Wolfgang is so formal.

I always had this idea that metal is a sort of initiation for classical music(or vice versa). Two genres that aren't easy to listen to at first but a bit of patience and the rewards are immense.

Sending love, honestly is a commitment to truth, even when it’s difficult or inconvenient,have you seen this gem live??

With the tenors!!

This is a fictional story

Unfortunately it doesn't because this is one of the sections of the Requiem which Mozart never got round to orchestrating because his death intervened! He wrote the choral parts of the movement but the orchestral accompaniment was only left in short score (two staves with no instrumentation). The instrumentation presented here was the work of his pupil Franz Xaver Sussmayr undertaken after Mozart's death, another composer, Eybler, having already produced another realisation which some (e.g. the musicologist Robbins Landon) consider much superior to this one. So a lot of artistic license was being taken in this scene in the film.

@@MrBulky992 right you are in all what you said but I'm not talking only about the requiem. In general that's happening in the brain of a composer while composing. 🙂

@@MrBulky992 Also, the Confutatis theme is not a Mozart original either; check out the Andante middle movement of Anfossi’s Sinfonia Venezia composed sixteen years earlier in 1775.

Similar to me: I played my first bar gig, blues guitar (The Stumble, in A) at age 15, in Madrid Spain, 1967. Have been gigging ever since. ..... and we concur, that this scene in Amadeus is precious. The entire movie is great.

I did a few years of classical guitar years ago, but the beauty of this scene is that you don't need to know music theory to understand the genius taking place onscreen.

I wouldn't go as far as calling salieri mediocre. Very good musician. Only played down in the movie to make mozart seem godly

@@Th3FuZZy By comparison only. Yes, the play is a dramatisation not a documentary.

Actually this extract also shows Salieri as extremely quick to understand Mozart's intentions and genius

I feel bad for Saliery unfairly backmailed and how movies make his bad image. Hope you are talking only about character but not real person

@@user-im7km8tq7j Yes, of course. It is a dramatisation, it has artistic licence and creates a character to suit the dramatist's needs. Dramatisation exaggerates things. There's no proof historically that Salieri harmed Mozart. Professional rivalry is one thing, murder is another. When we watch Amadeus we know it's fiction based on some fact, but it is mostly fiction for the sake of the theatrical/cinematic art. Cheers

So did the other composers

Elitist mentality from both of you that commented on this. YOU are what’s wrong with music (especially classical music) you grey haired “everyone must understand music to the highest degree” disgust me. Sounds like you got degrees in music composition and theory and can’t write a piece of music worth listening to and ended up working in a cubicle somewhere because you can’t accept that people aren’t as interested in something as you. Not all composers can just hear it by seeing it and “perfect pitch” (which isn’t real) has no factor in this. Most composers have to play it over and over and over again on the piano to write it down and don’t act like that isn’t the case. It takes true gift and years of playing and being a student of the music to be able to write something down that is meaningful and true to yourself and your sound and KNOW what it is going to sound like without a prior hearing or picking it out on the piano or your primary instrument.

@@jeffhutchinson8409 Dude... chill

@@dr.virus1295 lol wasn’t talking about you but I’ll “chill”

Composers of that level can do this. Chess players can play whole games with each other just by talking, without a board. It seems impossible to us but to them it's trivial

This was the best scene near the end because Salieri was always jealous of Mozart's musical genius and by random chance, he got a chance to be right there and be part of a new music that Mozart brings forth. The start where they're like "where are we again? Ah... we're starting here, right? Ok, let's go" and as Salieri's slowly seeing how it comes and gets pieced together, as well as at times how fast and chaotic it went all of a sudden... F. Murray Abraham's reactions at those moments when he's just barely able to keep up with Mozart as he dictates out the scores was perfect. I do love rewatching the movie every so often and so glad to have a physical DVD disc to enjoy whenever, but the entire movie was just amazing to watch time and time again.
