The key difference between Mozart and Salieri’s music is portrayed clearly at the beginning of the movie when the priest does not manage to remember any of Salieri’s old hits but remembers Mozart’s. Salieri’s music is technically sound and pleasant to the ear but easy to forget. I bet many of you will not remember an hour after listening to this finale how it sounded. I do not mean that a piece of music should necessarily be easy to remember but it has to have a distinct personality.

Josh, I fully agree with you. You can hear a work by adult Mozart not knowing it is Mozart and you will automatically know who he is. Salieri’s music sounds like any other classic composer but lacks personality: it is nice, pleasant, entertaining to some degree (try to seat through a three hour opera, and then we talk) but generally predictable and academic.
@annabarham1556 жыл бұрын
barralpha in my lectures at University, we quite often talk about something that academics like to call the doctrine of the affections. This is basically the idea that when music is written, it should convey emotion to the listener and be able to rouse emotion in the listeners themselves. While Salieri may have used the right musical techniques to convey emotions, such as where to add an octave leap or where to add a forte mark for instance, but in terms of composing in his and Mozart’s time, music in the Classical era was still well-formed, but composers had started creating new ideas of expression, how to be less predictable and how to get the music to rouse more complex human emotions, because human emotions can be quite unpredictable. From an audience point of view, we like the surprises that Mozart brings us. Our minds are ruled by emotion more than they are ruled by reason and theory. Partly why we remember what we remember is because there is some emotion brought into it. Salieri’s music is not mediocre or completely rubbish in any way, it’s just that Salieri may have needed more practice composing with more complex human emotions, maybe his own.

A lot of the genius of the film is Salieri's paranoia. If you watch closely it's never actually certain that Mozart doesnt respect Salieri. For example in this scene, Mozart gives him a standing ovation after the performance. And then makes an effort to come down to speak to him and congratulate him. But Salieri cant get past a rather vague comment Mozart makes about it "sounding like a Salieri". And most scenes are like this. I often think Salieri actually just misreads Mozarts arrogance

No, no. It was very clear from the scene that Mozart didn't consider the opera to be great. Even the musician in the orchestra after the offer their congratulations to Salieri, slink away quietly.

I agree with you in that salieri was paranoid and self conscious. It's like when you think of yourself as average or ugly and then a person you find very attractive gives you a compliment. You take the compliment but you might feel a bit skeptical on the inside. Also, in the scene where Mozart is playing salieris March on the piano and starts adding notes to it, Mozart was never disrespectful towards salieris piece, he was just giving some criticisms and even asked salieri what he thought about the notes he was adding. Salieris pride took that as an insult when Mozart just wanted to create music with Salieri. @Chris Mooney

Mozart's comment to Salieri at the end reminds me of a story of a famous poet in ancient Rome. He was supposed to write this great tribute, lavishing praise on the current Roman emperor. In part of the poem, he rambles on about the emperor's greatness, comparing him with the great planets. The emperor, having a big ego, naturally took this to be a compliment. But if you read the poem more straightforwardly, you realize that the poet is just saying that the emperor is fat. Who says psychology is a strictly modern science?

You actually see him in his line of work and you realize that he's passionate about it and struggles hard to impress. He's not bad, he just lacks that little something. Even Mozart is impressed, it's just that he knows that he's a bit better.

Salieri was court composer and he also composed a lot of operas and other musical pieces. He worked hard and was very competent. But the fact is that he wanted more--at least according to this movie, and his morbid jealousy ate at him and turned him inside out. According to history, Mozart and Salieri had respect for each other. This movie is a fiction, to a great extent, and after Mozart's death there was talk of him having been done in, and I believe his wife had the same idea. Relationships had to be respectful in the Habsburg court. I am amused by those who dismiss Constanza, Mozart's wife, regarding her allegations that Mozart had been poisoned. She was dismissed, and still is, by many in the music world. She understood music, and I gather she had been a singer. There could very well have been something to her suspicions, one way or the other. But she no longer commanded respect as the widow of Mozart. Women are often dismissed in elevated areas of arts, or history for that fact,
@echoplots80584 жыл бұрын
@@evakovacs9706 Apart from that Salieri had no reason to be jealous. He had a steady job at the court, unlike Mozart who was a freelancer and always had to scramble for comissions. And he probably wasn't jealous of Mozart's gambling problem either. Regarding Constanze, I think she got a lot of hate because she was independent and self-sufficient, traits that were discouraged from women in her days. She was the one pulling strings to get Mozart's requiem finished after his death, something she doesn't get enough credit for in my opinion.

People are always pointing out that Salieri and Mozart were friends in real life, but I maintain that the movie never contradicts this. On the surface, this movie portrays them as friends: they seem to frequently hang out and appear to be on friendly terms. It's only because we get to hear Salieri's secret thoughts and see him do things in secret, that we know this not to be the case in this particular story. But personal secrets do not make it into history books, and as such, I think the story is more careful about not contradicting history than it's given credit for.

Let's put it this way: If Mozart and Salieri were two teenagers today, they'd be sharing their musical experiments on KZbin and probably they would say "Oh, nice fucking opera right there, Wolftard", "Sally-Salieri, you dirty bastard, that imperial march kicked ass!". But at some point, Mozart would get +1 million subscribers and start monetizing. Salieri acts like it's all ok, but then he gets +2 million subs. Mozart sends a video talking how Salieri is just licking the establishment's arse, and then Salieri counterattacks making a videoclip of him walking down the 'hood at Viena, featuring a well known tenor which happens to like the newest french vibe, but is proud of being austrian. They still do collaborations and stuff. They're the best "friendly enemies" and also the "most antagonist of comrades", until Mozart discovers dubstep... and he dies. That's kinda what happened in real life with both composers. Not the best friends (more like "competitive partners"), but they knew what eachother was doing in the european scene. Love and hate, admiration and jealousy.

In court politics, someone in Salieri's position must be shown respect, or else he could use his influence to destroy the offender's career. Mozart, therefore, had to say something that could be interpreted as a compliment for fear of reprisal. And his 2 statements were incredibly vague and clouded by what people interpret. To the bystanders, who are unaware of Mozart's discriminating musical taste and can't perceive the gulf of talent between the 2 composers, his words came off like praise that cannot be adequately expressed by words. To Salieri, who is increasingly critical of his own work and believes Mozart is similarly dismissive of it, it came off like an insult as if he were incapable of actually composing good music.

i think overstated is a huge understatement. that's a key aspect of the movie.....to create a foil for the hero, even when in real life it wasnt even remotely like that.

Anyone who has ever engaged in an activity where those with natural talent easily excel can appreciate what Salieri feels. You see this in all fields... music, art, sports, dance... Most people have to work, struggle, exert themselves with every fiber of their being to become experts, while others can just make a modest effort and appear to instantly master their craft. They are just blessed with natural talent. And it's frustrating to be in any field where you have to compete with such people. If you obsess over it, it can drive you crazy. You just have to accept that there are people in this world who were gifted with virtuosity, and accept that all the effort in the world will not allow you to surpass what they naturally are capable of. Better to find your own gift. Everyone has one.

The movie is based on a play, which has an enjoyable plot that happens to use historical characters. In the same way, “Gladiator” and “The Fall of the Roman Empire” use the time of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus, and “The Prince and the Pauper” is always set at the accession of young Edward VI. It’s actually known that Mozart liked “Axur” a lot.

A lot of this film was at best hyperbole, if not outright bullshit. Salieri's music is great, he was also a friend and mentor, in some aspects to Mozart.

That particular performance was probably the one time that Salieri came close to the amazing and unrivalled Genius of Mozart, touching and nibbling at the edges of a musical fabric/texture/complex style that was as astonishingly brilliant as it was well ahead of its time and pioneering, the various masterpieces that Mozart produced. And although I believe that Mozart's comment was quite genuine and sincere, there was this partially concealed reserve of smug superiority and unmatched talent that Mozart knew was far ahead of any raw talent and musical gifts that Salieri possessed, granted that piece above had this spark of genius to it, and was impressive to boot. Though still not on the same level as much that Mozart ever conjured and produced, in terms of multi-layered complexities and musical dynamics that would work together in this intricate yet seamless fashion, beautifully harmonious, smoothly melodic and magically flawless, all exquisite perfection, perfect timing, mathematical symmetry and flowing, well balanced musical notes that all tied in together with this sublime and extremely well coordinated, seamlessly complex grace. Perfection, divine perfection. And Salieri knew that all too well, coming somewhat close to Mozart just that one time. Basically, Mozart was in a league all his own, and he was keenly and unabashedly aware of that fact, and, I SHIT YOU NOT, probably 200 years ahead of his time, much of his later work that was produced in Vienna. Fucking otherworldly and supernatural, till Beethoven showed up on the scene Mozart was untouched, uncontested and OUT OF THIS FUCKING WORLD. Salieri knew that, excellent musician that he could be.
