Confutatis Amadeus movie plus scrolling music score

[@321Lopper]

One point about the movie that is often overlooked is that salieri is a master too. He is one of the few who immediately recognizes and appreciates Mozarts full genius. And what he does in this scene, writing down the exact notes based on Mozarts very compressed instructions is very hard technically.

[@dougmaus4468]

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

"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."

[@tamelo]

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.

[@mdhcccc]

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

[@TrebleWoofer1]

Let's not forget that Salieri was HIGHLY respected in his time, unlike what the movie portrays. He taught theory to Beethoven and Schubert as well.

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

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.

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.

[@oldfrend]

@@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.'

For all who dont know, a little funfact: In the beginning when Mozart says "A-minor" and looks like he is in a mix of panic and not remembering it, was not scripted. It fits the scene and looks like he is to ill to compose...however, to do this scene true to the music and the beat, Both Hulce (Mozart) and Abrams had earplugs to have the music in realtime. But at first Hulces earplugs didnt work, so he was waiting and Abrams asked him, not knowing...glad they kept it in, its fits brilliant to the scene.

[@rba7712]

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

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.

[@seagoer118]

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.

What’s so sad is how when Mozart asks Sallieri about an “eternal flame burning forever” being possible, he probably meant it as a wish for himself, since his health was deteriorating, wheras Sallieri’s response reflects his anguish towards Mozart and God, an eternal flame of jealousy and hatred.

This is a fictional story

[@MrBulky992]

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.

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.

This is arguably one of the greatest music scenes in the history of film. Two top-level composers write a piece at lightning speed without offering any musical exposition or context to the audience. Viewers desperately try to keep up with Mozart's genius, to no avail...not even Salieri can keep up. Mozart is near death, but his entire existence is FOR and IS music. It's almost as if he's regurgitating it, his body trying so hard to get it out that nothing else matters, not even his health, or life. Salieri, the man who cursed Mozart's name and denied God due purely to Mozart's genius, cannot help but be amazed at the beauty in the music he is notating for his rival composer. It's really incredible, thank you so much for this video!

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.
