Yes!!! Purple colorant and dyes became widespread and widely available only after the industrial revolution due to the advancements in chemistry and the manufacturing textile industries… Before that only Emperors, powerful kings and very rich people wore purple which was especially seen as the color of Kings and Monarchs and colors of the likes of Purple, Burgundy and Violet were considered luxurious and a synonym with royalty and nobility…

Salieri and Mozart weren't actually personal rivals. The only rivalry they would've had would be a professional one. In fact, Salieri was very supportive of Mozart and visa versa. And Salieri during his time wasn't overlooked, actually Mozart was. Salieri was the greatest musical teacher in Vienna at the time. He taught royalty, he taught composers, including Ludwig Van Beethoven. He also did all of his teachings for free. Mozart on the other hand struggled with finding students because Salieri was just that good and Mozart charged his students.

[@Timrath]

And let's not forget that Saliery actually taught Mozart's son.

[@russellbaston974]

Mozart also lacked tact, to say the least! He would, for instance inform the parents of his pupils opinions such as “ your daughter sweats a lot and has no ear for music” oddly he wasn’t asked to continue with the lessons. Salieri greatly admired Mozart and was extremely supportive of Mozart’s widow Constance, he organised benefit concerts for her with the musicians and himself working for nothing.

Just being a little spoilsport here by clearing up some of the usual misconceptions: 1. The Salieri rivalry is an invention of the 19th century. In reality they liked and admired each other. 2. Mozart did not die poor. His income was high enough to pay servants. The problem was that he was not especially good at keeping money. He was a spender, that's why he was constantly in debt. However he always had credit because his career was going very well. 3. Beethoven was the alcoholic not Mozart. Continous consumption of cheap wine contaminated with lead, caused his liver to fail and lead to his death.

[@isobellabrett]

Additionally: A lot of the money Mozart owed went on post partem care for Konstanze who had horrible pregnancies. Especially her second daughter who died within hrs of being born caused long lasting health problems. The pregnancy was so difficult Mozart stopped composing. The lead was in the face white a cream already used by the Elizabeathans not in the powder. The powder was just cornflower (starch) i.e. the stuff gummies are covered in and cakes/puddings are made of. Mozart works were numbered by Köchel after Mozart's death. The K stands for Köchelcerzeichnis i.e. Köchel's register. The bum/fart obsession was just the current crude humour of the time. Leck mich am Arsch - evolved from im Arsch - is still the German version of F*** y**

[@hansmahr8627]

Kind of reminds me of Virginia Woolf's essay 'A room of one's own' where she talks about what female writers and artists need to flourish and how they've been denied those opportunities in the past. She imagines what would have happened if Shakespeare had a sister who was just as talented as him: she would have gotten no education, no chance to show her talent and eventually, she would have been married off to live a miserable life. Mozart's sister is a real-life example. Another one would be Goethe's sister, Cornelia, who was apparently very talented, her brother regularly complimented her writing when they were young. But of course she had to give it up, she married a guy she didn't love and felt trapped. She died when she was only 26.

[@quinnc9592]

GreatNorthernDad Sorry for the misunderstanding! I meant in older times (when women didn’t have as many rights) and they were forced to give things up because their husbands left all the housework up to them, because that was what was expected of them. Thank God, our society nowadays isn’t like that, but a long time ago, women were forced to give up their hobbies to take care of their husbands and children.

Why worry about the butts, we all have our own, and just by disliking the butt it does not mean your butt will dissappear, you are still condemned to have a butt for the rest of your life 😱. You have no choice - accept your butt as a part of who you are and show it some love with some gentle, soft and scented toilet paper👍 - while continuing to play piano🎹. I am not at all interested in butts. But I am trying to help other humans reach their full potential by giving them a lot of valuable advice. Nah... I just like telling others what to do. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Edit: thanks for the likes! To clarify, my whole comment is a joke. I am actually a very serious person. But a bit of fun never hurt anyone.

Well coming from Austria I can only say at least now the phase 'leck mich am Arsch' can be used in a variety of situations. Amongst others an expression of surprise. It's not as popular in younger generations but in the older generations of 50+ it seems like the predecessor of the viennese 'oida' which is an expression that can mean literally anything

[@wolfgangamadeusmozart1023]

Can we just talk about how Bart picked up a piano that weighs roughly about 750 pounds , effortlessly whilst playing it with his teeth. The kid has got talent. He can compose music without making the keys move. I’m jealous 😭

[@BrowneePointz]

Mozart was a savant. That man had the entire symphonies composed in his head, which is why he was able to procrastinate to the last minute. I also love the actual(non apocryphal) account of someone saying "your songs have too many notes" to which he responded with "there are exactly as many notes as needed"

[@alessandracroce6116]

"Amadeus" is great. It doesn't always stick to the facts, but it does show the paradox of Mozart or any other great artist - a flawed human being, who is somehow able to create flawless art. And is generally a very engaging, well-made and well-acted movie.

[@bwalle]

Lisa saying, “Nachtie-Nacht!” with the wine add-on. Classic. My two favorite scenes from Amadeus, Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, “Too many notes.” and, of course, the featured scene of Mozart playing a “better Salieri” with improv variations!

[@anniex8651]

I don't know if you or anyone reading this is aware, but Austrians use the phrase "Leck mich am Arsch" or "Leck mich in Arsch" (leck mi in Oasch) to this day, when they curse or express annoyance or shock in dialect. I've used the phrase countless times.

Amadeus was a masterpiece of a movie, inspite of its historical inaccuracies - i recommend everyone watch this fantastic film.

[@nguyenvpicipmu]

Done that when I was around 15, with a pair of rented VCDs. Looking back today, I consider Amadeus was the movie that jerked most tear out of me, at least for a few weeks until I rented Titanic. Got hooked in movies since then.

That's because amadeus is not actually based on historical facts but on a not very well known play, called Mozart and salieri, from A. S. Pushkin

[@michaelsommers2356]

@ It was more directly based on Peter Schaffer's play _Amadeus,_ which was based on the Pushkin play.

[@ankavoskuilen1725]

I watched it when it came out and it is a great movie, although it is not accurate and destroys Salieries reputation which is wrong. I want to see it again but where can you see it nowadays?

[@WildBillCox13]

Why, thanks for asking. I practiced old standards (from the Swing Age) and upstart standards (from the Stoned Age). All the things you are (Ab), Dream a Little Dream of Me (Eb), A Train (C, the all white keys key!), All of Me (C again ;-) ), Crazy (you guessed it!), Sounds of Silence (in C-I was on a roll-forgot a verse, embarrassing), Stray Cat Strut (in G), and the song that sets everyone free: Little Wing (in F). Then I recorded and posted a little segment where I try to define swing blues as specific from rock blues. "Songs have harmonic structure . . . chords don't just plop down out of a pooh cloud sky. Walking bass is walking to definite destinations along the path. There is reason . . . there is purpose . . . open your eyes and sniff the ether of the creative side of performance, or pound down two energy drinks and emphasize the math and science of it . . ." You would not believe how many folks edge away from me on the bus when I start talking like that.

OneWhoDreamsAwake they use leeches to remove infected blood I believe and maggots to remove dead flesh, not often, but it is still done.

Actually he was a terrible player. Apparently he was so bad that the actor who played Salieri (quartered next door) remarked only once that his performance was improving. As it was, that was actually his teacher playing.

[@alphacat619]

I loved the film and I agree he's a good actor, but he was definitely not playing the harpsichord in this scene.

@@Stryxxxx he’s faking but he did actually have to learn the piece.
