Amadeus (1984) - Mozart plays for the Emperor

[@steerpike66]

The tune Mozart 'improvises' from Salieri's plodding march is "Non più andrai" from 'The Marriage of Figaro.' It is a fictional origin story and ties in nicely with the terrible but unconscious rudeness of 'a funny little tune but it yielded some good things.'

[@dfa3366]

Love this scene. Saleri writes a simple but nice March welcome for Mozart’s visit. And what does Mozart do...enhance it and make it his own. “That doesn’t really work does it”

[@PrachandParshuram]

my favourite scene from Amadeus. This really shows Mozart living up to his middle name "Amadeus": Beloved of the Gods. What phenomenal musical memory.

[@jacobpeters5458]

The Vatican had some music they played at the Sistine Chapel whose notess they wouldn't give. when Mozart went there with his father at age 7 or something he immediately memorized it and wrote out the correct notes lol. it's in 4 voices, people can normally only distinguish 2, but he could hear (and memorize) all 4.

[@YaYa-ke1zr]

Also interesting how Amadeus isn’t even one of his given middle names. He took the Greek version of one of his middle names then converted its meaning to German to get Amadeus. Signed his name in multiple ways during his lifetime. He was apparently a very interesting man.

This movie had a major impact when it came out. I saw it twice. The whole thing is sort of sad, in that Mozart died so young, although the good news is that he was prolific in his short life.

[@125ZJK]

Can you now understand Salieri's passionate jealousy. Mozart showed him a mirror and in that mirror mediocrity.

[@blakedotguidry]

Maybe not even mediocrity. Salieri had to contend with unbound genius

[@michaelfrank110]

The greatest flex of all time

[@LOUI-e7h]

THIS IS THE MOTHERFUKEN MOZART REMIX

[@wolfgangamadeusmozart8293]

I searched for St. Matthew Passion and I found this! I'm everywhere!

[@KefaLammer]

This film is totally unfair to Salieri. He was a very great musician. He was friends with Mozart. He helped him a lot financially. And, they had a mutual admiration for each other's music.

[@silenceseaandsky]

Salieri (as depicted in the movie) is an artist and a courtier: he´s strictly playing by the rules. Mozart as an exceptional artist is constantly breaking the rules without realizing it or caring much about them anyway.

[@MrFTW733]

This is a true musician. That is, this is what a musician does, not making a bunch of noises put together like you hear today.

[@KefaLammer]

Mozart was far from being the idiot he is portrayed as in this film.

[@venypersix1191]

Endless beauty of Mozart music!

[@Denis-qu7bu]

супер

[@schnooleheletteletto]

The dude who plays the concertmeister is so good lol

[@АндрейОдинцов-б5э]

God wants people to also listen to the music that excites him, pleases and saddens, and therefore he asks these talents to visit the Earth so that these talents find their name on Earth and give people this music so that it, the music was with us, this talent found its name - Mozart and this talent left us his music like other talents.

[@johnnyjames3651]

Sensacional. Um dos melhores filmes dos 80s.

[@Mariakamila-d3w]

What play of poor emperador what crezy 😂😂😂😂

[@StopFear]

You guys think Mozart was autistic? Seems at least in the movie he doesn’t understand proper social context. I wonder if he were given aderall in modern time would he have played even better music, or would he just not write anything cool then?

[@darkjak224]

Lol, adderall. Everyone and their mom is on that shit, poor weak minded people need to pop their 30mg to study for one test or go through an 8 hour shift

[@abgailneve5055]

I dont think autistic, but ADHD. as a ADHD myself, I've had many similar experiences like this scene in my real life. my mind focus is to make things better, work better for everyone. many times, a better suggestion given by someone that was not in charge can be seen as a threat. while Mozart is only doing for the beauty of the art, because he is only thinking on the notes, which ones would be better together, others could easily see that Mozart is shaming and humiliating Salieri. was he? was Mozart's intentions? def, it was how Salieri took it. 2 different approaches for the same moment. 1 positive, other negative which one is the whole truth? some people believe that there is only 1 true side....

[@bradleylinemihler]

prob my favoritye film

[@benhuether5474]

It's up there with Citizen Kane

[@sub7se7en]

"Grottsy sinyoray"

[@ericandsarahsmom1000]

"Grazie Signore."

[@internetsurfer777]

"Grazie, seniore". Something is wrong. Either with your head or with mozart. Somethign is wrong. Oh, yes i know what its wrong. You've got penetrated by the best movie ever. No, i'm not a positive person liking everything i see or hear. This movie is spiritual though and it has many levels which i fail to describe. No matter the intention of the movie. It became spiritual. This is art in its purest form. Just name a bunch of movies which is better and more powerful than this one. I'd like to see a list. Love you all, or not, lol. You know what i mean.

[@HenryT5]

+internetsurfer777 yes. u r right

[@ericandsarahsmom1000]

It's "Grazie Signore."

[@damnson261]

felt it right through my body i swear

[@Cynocehali]

Glory to Mankind!

[@AndersonNeo12]

Finally a verson that actually is correct. C and G, cause most are a half tone to high, but the rest is just the same 😅

[@yogengrg7690]

Can someone give me link to its full movie? I want it.

[@benhuether5474]

Was this an actual musical peace that Salieri wrote for Mozart?

[@benhuether5474]

Or did they just make it up for the movie

[@Don-md6wn]

I'm pretty sure this scene is pure fiction. The musical theme that Mozart "improvises" in this scene is the main them from the overture to his opera Le Nozze de Figaro, or The Marriage of Figaro. I don't think he came up with that one off the top of his head in front of royalty.

[@silenceseaandsky]

It reminds me of this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4CYaHuHrJyhpcU

[@wolfgangamadeusmozart8293]

Of course! That is how I made the Non Piu Andrai aria from Le Nozze di Figaro!

[@ericandsarahsmom1000]

It's piece -- not peace.

[@doracifrederici]

Salieri fica com muita inveja e raiva de Mozart!!

[@dlperk5035]

This scene captures the inner struggle of Antonio Salieri, as he seeks not only to understand but accommodate the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose dazzling reworking of Salieri's composition that he had labored long on behalf of Emperor Joseph I of Austria (the brother of the ill-fated Marie Antoinette), played by the brilliant Jeffrey Daniels, lights a path before the audience of the rancorous hostility Salieri would show towards the young genius throughout the remainder of the film. Bravo for posting!

[@TheTarget1980]

The only problem is: Salieri composed a march and Mozarts improvisation is no longer a march. So, from a strict point of view, Mozarts variation is formally wrong :)

[@jaha777jaha6]

Formally wrong maybe, but generally and overall better in that sense ...

[@deeaxelrod6499]

Soooo... what is there about Mozart that makes you think he'd give a r*&t's' a*&s?

[@theplanethell]

Dont like it to Salieri XD

[@tankorgold4142]

Miért nincs fent a neten ez a film magyarul??????????

[@02joss]

Nice...:-))
