One of the greatest scenes of all time.
MagBa you are totally right
Academy Award worthy
Even the writer of 'Amadeus' Peter Shaffer agrees with us, on this scene being the best in the movie ✌🏻 ua-cam.com/video/qmBHo_RlSxE/v-deo.html
It's already an open secret that Salieri made Mozart suffer in order to gain fame with his Requiem before ultimately killing him... Nowadays I would like to know what happened to Clemens Arvay recently. Why hasn't his hair been examined for (unwanted) substances like those of Beethoven? How many swamp creatures are there in Vienna and the surrounding area these days?
one of the most iconic scene's in the film. Salieri now understands how Mozart's mind is and how insane it is
Only insane if you consider the sublimity of the ineffable insane.
The mere mortal was overwhelmed as he tried to channel the divine inspiration.
Insanity is quite brilliant, the sane will ever be paid for their inability to understand, let alone help this condition. It doesn't need help. It's perfect! The world's greatest artists are exactly who they are supposed to be. If doctors get to close to understanding a condition which is much needed, this could be a perfect world and Everyone would see eye to eye. Nice thought, although not feasible. God doesn't allow us all understanding. If that happens, it's over. God controls the End. Amen!
freethrice
...world without end...
It's even better. Remember the beginning? Salieri asked god to become his vessel, to write gods music. And he got all angry at god because that didn't happen and that "god chose Mozart" instead. Well, in this scene Salieri literally becomes what he asked for. He becomes his vessel and wrties the music.
I think what makes this scene so brilliant is that it's the one where they speak the most plainly with each other. The whole movie has been gossip, secrets, and two-faced speech up until this point, and in this one scene the practical need of composing music puts them in the position of speaking without masks (for the most part).
Well said. Two men who are masters at their crafts finally just working on music together. I know it's fiction but for the one and only time, Salieri is simply trying to help create beautiful music which was his passion.
@@danielechebarria8733 Salieri spent the whole movie despising Mozart for his genius. But if he had spent all that time just being his friend, and learning from him, while accepting his own limitations, he could have found greatness. But he let stupid worldly squabbles and "prestige" ruin him. Mozart came off like an asshole because he just didnt care what people thought of him. He was too busy.
That's what music does, it brings us together
I feel like that seen more encompasses their true life relationship.
So true so insightful that’s what transitions a movie from another piece and raises it up to artwork in it’s purest form.. little details like that is what puts it on the top 100 movies of all time
I have watched this scene something like one million times.
Moi aussi !!
Liar, this would have reached 1 millions views.
Lol, since this is getting so interesting, yes I have the DVD.
Sara P haha just like me
Me as well!!!
Exceptional actors, exceptional scene, exceptional movie for an exceptional Man Mozart !
In the interviews, Tom Hulce said he purposely skipped bits of dialogue, to convey that a genius like Mozart would skip some details, assuming it would be crystal clear to Salieri, where it actuallty isn't. Abrahams keeps up with him, and Salieri's glee when he catches up is him only getting a peek of such intense genius.
He was not a MAN, he IS A GOD!
Tom Hulce should have won the oscar
not for an exceptional man. for a Genius
@@khaledfaiz491 Both of them should have won the Oscar!
I always loved at 2:26 how Salieri somehow manages to guess all of the changes in the progression that he hasn't heard yet, including the cadence with the octave drop. 😃
He's a genuis too
That was the point of the scene. He finally understands how Mozarts composes and for these moments he was an instrument of the “voice of God.”
He is not just guessing.
He already wrote the vocals, the trombones, the trumpets, which lay a musical foundation, and being a musical genius as well, he could infer the violins part as well. With a bit of cinematic dramatization.
One of the most memorable moments in the movie. So brilliantly written.
And sadly complete fiction.
Mozart did not live to add any of the orchestrational bits that he dictates to Salieri here. No bassoons and no trombones, no trumpets and timpani.
He did finish the vocal lines and the bass line and the counter melody in the strings when the soprano sings. That is all that was written in his manuscript. The rest was added by Süssmayr later.
There was a lot of fiction in this movie. But it did convey Mozart's genius. It's a pity that the filmmakers had to libel Salieri in order to make Mozart look great.
You are right. The manuscript lacks these parts. But perhaps the lost "Zettelchen" did that Süßmayr later got from Constanze? In any case the movie depicts only how the old lunatic Salieri (a fictional character himself) remembers this moment.
thanks I kinda thought so
@@leporello7 Robert Levin says in one of his lectures that a notion like that displays a complete misunderstanding of Mozart’s working methods. Mozart didn’t need cues of sketches to complete the orchestration because to a genius like him it was so obvious that he would know 1 year, even a decade later how it should sound. Levin and a few other musicologists proposed since Schumann called the Requiem “wholly inauthentic except for a few measures” that Mozart left detailed instructions and sketches to Süssmayr that him and Constance later destroyed and, he lied deliberately about the Sanctus, Benedictus and the Agnus Dei thus somewhat legitimising his contribution to the Requiem after the infamous controversy. Mozart would not have used “trumpets and timpani” or such heavy-handed orchestration Süssmayr utilised in the Confutatis because it diverts attention from the main theme and the ostinato, hence very few modern completions actually fill in these parts. I think anyone who’s a devoted fan of this timeless masterwork would readily admit that the Lacrymosa’s continuation (after measure 8 which is supposedly by Süssmayr) is just too good to have come from Süssmayr’s pen. Süssmayr likely knew about the Amen sketch leaf too but he didn’t bother because to a second-rate composer like him, a complex choral fugue would have been too much to handle. Musicologists proposed the sketch theory simply because of the immensely varying degree of compositional quality within a given movement. And it’s not just a minuscule difference, it is humongous. Take the Sanctus, for example, it displays both a thematic unity with the Dies Irae incipit and the Hosanna fugal theme with the Ricordare. After examining all of Süssmayr’s extant works musicologists found that S. never exploited the use of thematic transformation in any of his compositions. Why would he use that now? And there is that parallel fifth problem already in measure 4, which is obviously S.’s clumsy writing! The Benedictus is completely sound and convincing in thematic material except for the basso continuo and the bridge sections? It’s so obviously from a choral sketch it’s not even funny. All is well, then the Hosanna fugue is stupidly reprised in B flat major which is completely at odds with 18th-century church music practice. The Agnus Dei’s Bass part is the Incipit of the Introitus yet displaying another case of thematic unity. After listening to this piece for the 100th time, I can (or anybody for that matter) exactly pinpoint what is Süssmayr and what is Mozart. Süssmayr said that they even worked through the movements together by singing the voice parts! There is no way the Mozart, who was a master of improvisation, didn’t hint something that wasn’t necessarily on the sheet music paper. Of course, this is all conjecture, but a better explanation already than what Süssmayr conjured up as testimony.
@@Kris9kris Thank you very much for the detailed and very insightful comment! It sounds very convincing. I know Levin's completion, have even sung it in concert, as well as Franz Beyer's. But to be honest, none of them has satisfied me completely. You have made me want to go deeper into the matter again now.
This is my favorite scene because of how everything is broken down. You hear each part on its own and it doesn't sound like much, if at all...but then you hear it altogether...and you understand the true genius of Mozart.
Guy could write harmonies
Although he still sounds damn good even broken up.
It doesn't sound like much? Man it's hard to impress you
The Requiem in D Minor is absolutely badass. So somber and so beautiful.
Check out Dvorak, Brahms, and Verdi’s as well.
It's too good to be badass.
Even though Salieri wanted him dead and was going through with his plan perfectly, I think this scene was what filled him with guilt the most. He understands how much of genius Wolfgang was by seeing it first hand come out of his mouth and noticing how flawless it was, even at the end of his rope it was flawless. Death was right around the corner and Mozart knew he was about to die but still gave everything he had to finish his masterpiece. Salieri couldnt deny the brilliance, and I think he finally understood God was absent, it was just a very talented man whos life he took from everybody.
I haven't seen the movie. Did he poison him?
@@minotaur55 No Mozart overwhelmed himself trying to compose his orchestras and the requiem of which Salieri secretly requested him to compose for money since he had gone broke dressed up as a dark menacing figure to resemble Mozart's dead father which gave Mozart much grief but it seemed as though he had some sort of popular illness typhoid fever or plaque or something like that and died before he could finish it like in real life and was buried in an unmarked grave along with multiple people because he couldn't afford a proper burial
I disagree. I felt that in this moment he finally got to experience what it was to be the voice of God. He finally understood how Mozart composed and in those shared moments of dictations he began to anticipate the composition as that voice moved through him.
In the director's cut version of this film, in the special features, there's nearly an hour documentary on the making of this film. Tom Hulce, F. Murray Abraham, the director Milos Forman, and many of the actors were asked to share their memory of the making of this film. F. Murray Abraham was filming "Scarface" at the time Amadeus was being cast. As he said, the character of Salieri was the most sought-after part in the english speaking language; every actor wanted the part. But he auditioned. And he got it. He has said that on the Scarface set, people started treating him differently once word got out that he had been cast as Salieri. But what is the most interesting, is that in the scene when Abraham, as Salieri, says, "I don't understand" it's because Hulce was confusing him on purpose, and skipping lines of dialogue. His frustration is not as Saieri, but as Abraham, because he is genuinely lost. Milos, saw what Hulce was doing and being the director that he was, kept it in, because it added to the depth of the scene. As I understand it, at the time they filmed this scene, there was only Hulce, Abraham, Forman and the camerman on set during the scene. The actors wore earpieces so they could keep time to the music, which was done later. Absolute genius. This is my second favorite film of all time. When I heard that Milos Forman had died I wept like a baby. I recognize Requiem every time I hear it because of this film. And that is what film is supposed to do.
More impressive that he didn't break the scene
Well, now I want to know what is your first favorite film of all time.
It is too my second favourite movie of all time. Just behind Some like it hot. Which one is yours?
Amadeus is my Favorite Film of All-Time...what is yours?
"Do you have it?" "you go too fast" "DO you have it? " I cried at the end of this movie!
me too
Its a great movie to watch while having pancakes and sausage.
Me too and I feel like crying right now.

This is the first and last time Salieri fully connects with Mozart. After an early life of idolising him for his gifts, and a later life of hating him for them, he finally gets to share in them.
Salieri is the only character apart from Mozart who we see listening to music just by reading it (something the real Salieri could also apparently do,) and so is probably the only man who could hear the divine music flowing out of the dying Mozart's croaky voice.
It's beautiful and grotesque that Mozart's would-be murderer is also the only person who could share this moment with his victim; neither Mozart's musically-illiterate wife, nor his composer father were as good as Salieri, and this gives the greatest and second-greatest composers in Vienna a level of intimacy they never have with anyone else.
"G#?"
"Yes, of course!!"
Randall Flagg G#. There's no D# in the key of A harmonic minor.
Good catch!!! I didn't know it was the G# that actually was the magic note that made it an A Harmonic!! BRAVO!!!!! let me amend...
537CH Haven’t looked at the score, but maybe secondary dominance?
In any minor scale the 7th is raised to fit the harmonic need of the dominant (and leading tone) triads to collapse properly to the tonic triad or submediant triad respectively. The "minor scale" they teach you in school with b3, b6, b7 is actually purely modal and doesn't function as well as the harmonic minor does. In any classical work in a minor key, you'll find the leading tone is always raised and will ways resolve upwards to the tonic pitch.
@@Froboy1100, so this explains that. At last! Thank you.
I first saw this scene around 10 or 11 years old with my dad. I didn’t understand a lot of this movie but this is one of the few scenes I got the premise of - that Salieri was writing the music for Mozart.
I remember vividly being moved almost to tears when he says “let me see it” and the scene cuts to the horse carriage as the piece plays. Something clicked in me. I think I finally appriciated how brilliant, intricate, and profound music was. That cut always hits me now.
literally one of the best film scenes of all time
I am from Czech. I am very glad that Milos Forman is my compatriot. Rest in peace Mr. Director. Thank you for your life´s work.
w czych, znam tylko Kundera i Karel Gott
I love this scene for how much Mozart teaches Salieri about the way Mozart's musical signature plays, especially when he gently explains to him the relationship between the different parts. Take the early exchange when writing the instruments.
Mozart: "Now, trumpets and timpani."
Salieri: "No..."
Mozart: "Trumpets in D, t-- Listen to me."
Salieri: "No, no! I don't understand!"
Mozart: "Listen. It goes with the harmony."
Salieri: (understands)
The sound mixing in this film, especially this scene, is phenomenal.
One interesting about this is how frantic Mozart is to get this on paper as quickly as possible. All musicians know how important it is to record your musical idea while it's still in your head, before you forget it completely.
I hate whenever I dream of nonexistent music that is very good and then right before I could write it it disappears
Or before he dies...Which he sadly did precisely while writing this Requiem... Salieri did indeed finish it.
@@Helix751 not in real life though
@@bunnybird9342 In real life Salieri didn't finish it, it was a student of his who did but he did in fact die while writing the Requiem that part is true
@@jonahrosen6173 I already knew that Salieri didn't actually complete the requiem. Although Amadeus is a great movie it isn't a reliable historical source.
Jesus this scene is brilliant. To break down one movement of a legendary piece and then to have it performed at the end...chills. If Tom Hulce had won an Oscar for this film, this scene would've done it.
This movie does a fantastic job of showing how a great musician/composer can "literally" hear his music without any instruments. Countless times we are placed in their minds and hear the music, when in actuality there is no music but for what is plying inside of their minds. Incredible acting and directing.
The brilliance of this script is that Salieri is made a good enough composer to recognize genius when he hears it, and this scene puts him inside the mind of that genius if only briefly. God "mocks" him by letting him write the notes that he can fully appreciate but could have never conceived. Salieri has dared to insert himself into Mozart's life, becomes his amanuensis, but in return is forced to face his "mediocrity" all the more acutely. A psychological tragedy.
In physics grad school I had a friend who was more brilliant than I could ever hope to be. This scene is what I imagine it would be like if my friend met and spoke with Richard Feynman. He could never dream of discovering what Feynman had discovered, but he would fully grasp it the moment it came out of Feynman's mouth.
Epoxygleu His friend is salieri, and he is the emperor. Now it is sad.
Schrodinger
You don’t need to be brilliant at music to understand Mozart’s dictation. Anyone can do it with a few courses in solfegge, ear-training and music theory.
It was Freedman Dyson, a student without Ph.D.
The way this scene was written, the way the actors embodied their roles, the musical directory of this scene & also the cinematography; hands down THE BEST scene from this movie EVER!
as well as Van Gogh expressed his suffering with his paintings, as Mozart did musically. This is art.
Beethoven told you what it was like to be Beethoven. Mozart told you what it was like to be human. To be music itself. Thus, I slightly disagree.
Always nice to see somebody bring van Gogh to the party... But Van Gogh was very 'weird' compared to Mozart imho wasn't he? difficult to compare the two of them.
Mozart wrote funny stuff (sometimes), Van Gogh didn't paint funny stuff, or did he? I don't know. Please tell me what is funny about 'the potato eaters'... lol
I though van Gogh similarly more like Beethoven than Mozart
Retro Workshop
Bach was the clockwork universe
Mozart was our vision of god
Beethoven was the heart of passion
Chopin was the subjective experience
This movie took me by total surprise. I fell in love with it. Just blown away. INSPIRED. I get it... Now i know what they knew... They being those who love Mozart and classical music... This movie began a wondorous journey for me. One that hasn't ended yet
The strongest part of the movie and about Mozart's life its that he was buried in a common grave... One of the most gifted musicians and composers, if not the best, musical prodigy with a rare talent, not really apreciated in his time, that could even see and feel music, died in poorness, buried next to the butcher, the begger, the farmer, the thief....
The begger was a poor man that suffered in life and was denied his right to life, the thief is a poor man of circumstances, that butcher feeds, the farmer makes food... And Mozart makes music. Do u seriously think making music no matter how good puts you above the people that feed you? The farmer and the butcher are way more important than mozart.
As a history student I had classes in latin language. I was full zero, as a speaker of slavic language I found it very difficult to understand the construction of the latin. So, I went to my final exam knowing absolutely nothing, I was sneaky, ready to cheat. Buut.. I didnt know I will have to speak.
The night before I watched "Amadeus" and got really interested in confutatis. It seems that learning new things before going to sleep actually helps remember thr new information because I somehow knew the lyrics. And as you can guess I started reciting the confutatis.. Of course I got 3 out of 6 (2 meaning not passing), but my teacher liked me remembering this piece of art so much that he let me pass.
Anyways, this movie is brilliant... One of the best I've watched in my life. The atmosphere, the insanity, the pure God's hand in Mozart't brilliance... Everything.
One of the great films I have seen. I saw it for the first time when I was 13, and this scene in particular changed the way I listened to music from then on. The way they broke the Confutatis down in that part, and then put it back together, was an inspired way of showing how Mozart could sort out the sounds in his head, and gave me a new appreciation of how good music can weave together (in all genres).
1:48 Me When Teacher Tries To Explain Something...
And you dont understand :^)
Also Salieri is trying to understand the zeitgeist of Mozart 's genius.
Most people fail the realize how much of a musical genius Mozart was. Many of his original sheets of music still survive to this day. They are first drafts with very very few corrections. So much so he didn't need any more drafts or revisions. Mozart was six when he wrote his first full Opera!
Amazing! Showing how Genius feels and translate the music from his mind... amazing
It makes me sad how Mozart can barely sing the "Voca me" parts, as though he knows he's going to die, and is begging acceptance into the afterlife.
Oh, he doesn't die. The guy appears in the making of Amadeus after many years, and he is just fine :)
nicely put

O trecho irônicamente serve à maldita confusão Mozart-Salieri, fomentada por um folhetim de época, e aumentada pelo interesse público em fofocas, e ampliada ainda mais por obras baseadas em tais folhetins. Salieri foi um professor de muitos famosos da época, entre eles Beethoven.
Beautiful ... Gorgeous. Classical music and classical Latin are a marriage made in heaven. Thanks for the translation of the Latin, by the way!
Although the translation into English is not precise nor as powerful as the original, it sure conveys the general sense of what Mozart meant.
Nancy Ayers You realize most music is composed in Ecclesiastical Latin and not in Classical Latin, the pronunciation differs and the structure is simplified to a certain degree and it adopts some Italian elements.
Cum benedictis*
A cena desse filme me impressiona por diversas razões, uma delas é como o ator consegue transmitir conhecimento musical e impulsionar o que quer compôr! Parabéns ao grande trabalho do Diretor
Why am I so obsessed with this scene?
Salieri - "I don't understand ,not to fast!!"
Yeah, me to Salieri.
A brilliant scene in a movie filled with brilliant scenes. It is no wonder this movie won best picture.
Peace.
The banquet of great story, exceptional script, phenomenal acting, and immortal music. We’ve been starving for this level ever since! 👏🏻
I was able to sing this with my son when he was in high school for his school's community choir. What a thrill it was. We were both basses.
I sang the whole Requiem with a choir back in 2016. I was in the bass section. Had I watched this movie before it, I would have been able to appreciate the songs more. Brilliant.
I just watched the film for the first time and while I can't say I really loved it overly much, this scene was an absolutely spellbinding and masterful culmination.
Amazing. I actually like the version that they played in the movie. It's a bit faster than the score usually plays but I think it adds more fire to it :) I loved this scene because, though it's fictional, it shows the genius of Mozart. I just wish he would have been able to finish it, though süssmayr did a good job IMO.
Jeremy Phelps : Sussmayer was an unsung hero
I was a kid watching this movie. This part of it made understand the whole concept and complexity of Classical Baroque
Siempre, las luces que brillan mas que las demás, duran la mitad del tiempo; pero el recuerdo de su belleza es inmortal. Gracias Mozart, donde quiera que estés
Tom Hulce doesn't get enough credit for reciting the music in this scene exactly on key.
It's been years since I sang in a choir, but always, Mozart. Always. My favorite.
This is an amazing scene but even more powerful when you know what the words mean.
Corn Fed And even more powerful when you were an alto at the music university, and had to sing the whole Requiem for an exam.

Exactly! Makes perfect sense to a musician. ❤🎵
@@EdwardAivazovsky thanks!
Mozart's brain worked faster than anyone could write or even follow. This scene eloquently shows something that is beyond genius. Way way beyond genius. It's tortured brilliance. Some things are just beyond measurement.
This is such an outstanding scene because the way it is written, the way it is performed even how it has been shot and edited demonstrates the commanding genius of Mozart and how Salieri struggles to keep up with the dictation of work that is so far out of his league. Equus proved that Peter Shaffer was the master at writing hate-boners between two men at odds with one another and Amadeus is obviously no exception. This scene in particular, some of it improvised, capitalizes on the hard script to reveal the essence of these two men, even as all the dialogue is consistent entirely of music theory jargon. The orchestration, however reveals the fiery emotions of the two men and makes the jargon have meaning. The layering of the soundtrack is a stroke of brilliance in editing and as we, the audience, and Salieri watch as a masterpiece is being composed part by part we vicariously experience what Salieri has felt for the entire film: Mozart's genius, and how far beyond mediocrity he was.
I have seen this movie nearly sixty times. My favorite movie. No doubt
Cool, I think it's fantastic and one of the greatest of all time. I just don't think it has a lot of rewatchability
Yes, absolutely. My father showed me this movie when I was 10 and I liked it. But when I grew up I understood more and more about this film. I am now a history and musicology student, so it has become my favorite too
Milos Forman ❤😢
That's nuthin'. I've seen it nearly 70 times.

This entire movie is a masterpiece, easily the best film I've ever seen.
Two of the best actors I’ve ever seen.
I fell in love with Mozart when i was 11 years old I was completely obsessed with his genius and the time period he lived in. What i would give to live in his time...
Jack Xiao Jack Xiao that would be the case if I had the limited knowledge they had but I don't so I would definately live a pretty long life. I didn't say be born in that time but live there as I am now.
Mozart was simply a genius…not possible to analyse, just adore his sublime gift.
A "Masterpiece" in this case is not enough. What they did is bring Mozart to all generations after this movie. Well deserved Oscars for both and for the movie. I saw F. Murray Abrahams get surprised these past few days when he saw people cheering for him in an awards ceremony, and it seemed a little sad to me. He shouldn't be surprised. He played one of the most iconic parts in any movie from the last 50 years. Well deserved praise for the rest of his life.
"No...no! Now for the REAL fire..." - great line
I don't think I'll ever tire of this scene.
I would love to know a moment as intimate as these two men crafting a song together. It's beautiful
Watch some jam sessions.
Poderosa e imponente pieza, escucharla es un erizamiento de piel seguro.
Memorable scene and crazily difficult to shoot! Thanks for posting!
One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies. Thanks!
I remember watching this when I was like 8... such a masterpiece, made a life long impression on me. Best part of the movie.
You can feel the energy Salieri's getting from realising how serious Mozart is about his actual music.
For all the fooling around.
OMG I have to watch this movie again... it’s been years. I have forgotten how glorious it is and how Mozart was one of the most gifted humans ever!!!
I’ve had moments like this with other musicians. They are awesome.
JÁ ASSISTI ESSA CENA MIL VEZES....ELA É BRILHANTE...UM GÊNIO COMPONDO UMA OBRA DE ARTE.
This scene perfectly demonstrates the significance of the gap between the two. Salieri is struggling to keep up with Mozart as he frantically writes down the composition all while he asks him question after question to try and understand. Salieri’s inability to see the best progress for the piece as Mozart does frustrates him but he can’t help but be in awe as it finally begins to make sense. There is also two big moments in this scene that really makes Mozart’s genius stand out that I think goes unnoticed. The first being at 2:10 when Salieri states “that’s all”. This displays how his mind works as a composer, he gets a point where the piece is good but never thinks to push the envelope to enhance it even further. This is ultimately why he was never an innovator and could never reach the artistic levels of the peer he so despised. The second being Mozart’s constant ask for affirmation that Salieri is in fact following as he ask “do you have it?” several times. Mozart was the only one who could see a vision of true musical masterclass and he know it…. He knew Salieri could never see it in his own
This is a wonderful scene of a great composer breaking down his composition. I don’t think there are scenes like this one in any other movie.
the saddest and most sublime scene in the film
One of my best all time movies!
The sit there and get schooled by the Master yet contriving to hasten his death through this Machiavellian ploy to have Mozart finish this composition haunted by the spirit of his dead father is both horrific and ironic. It's my favorite scene.
i've seen this (the whole movie actually) with a live orchestra and choir. now, THAT was epic, let me tell you! not that this scene would need any more epicness ...
LIVE orchestra!? Dude, where!?
Teed...the Cleveland Orchestra will be doing this in February 2020 and as I am watching this I am getting.goosebumps just thinking about how the composer himself will be telling my orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, what to play. Is it really that epic? I know it will be but I want to know I am not the only person who thinks that too
One of my favorite scenes in all of movie history
One of the best movies, Epic actors, Epic history, thanks Amadeus
I watched this wonderful film when I was a university student in Hong Kong Academy for Performance Arts . Love it very very much !!!
This piece of music makes me get goosebumps. It's so profoundly deep and emotional.
What's even more great is that the interaction between Hulce and Abraham was almost entirely improvised on spot...
Get out no freaking way!!
@@mariekano9730
....Tom Hulce explains it in the "making of"...which in itself is a wonderful appendix to the movie.👍🏻

This is the BEST scene in the film well worth waiting for.
True genius that few if any could comprehend. Writing in the language of the universe.....music. Brilliant.
I liked a lot about the way salier character performance. no envy, only the way worship about music
Es una Pieza hermosisima... Siento que tiene un contraste entre la urgencia del momento y los rostros angelicales contenidos en esa atmósfera aparte tan humana, dentro de la sublimación de lo terrible, en esa paz a la que se dirige el cuerpo.
Estupendo! Escena inolvidable... Felicitaciones... Saludos desde Brasil!
A truly outstanding scene in cinema history!
I like how Salieri can write Mozart's compositions without error.
He can interpret Mozart's work perfectly, he just can't create it fully formed.
formidable moment du film, ou Mozart , à l'agonie, se fait aider par Salieri pour terminer son Requiem. Extraordinaire !.....
I Do Not Understand ANY of the Musical Terms, But LOVE how the Music Sounds😊😊😊
Well, as a composer I do understand all of the terms, and I can tell you that you're not really missing much, and there is a bit of the conversation that doesn't really sense from a technical standpoint. However, I'm sure you got the most important parts of this exchange-that's what matters. :)
- Trombones.
- I don't understand.
- Those long brass implements that get pushed back and forth.
- Yes, I have it. Trombones what?
- Trombones with the tenors.
- Do what? Make love?
- No, they play.
- Really? Amazing. What do they play?
- The same melody.
- I don't understand.

@@u.v.s.5583 As far as understood it, Salieri knew what Mozart wanted him to write, but he couldn't understand how it would sound good until it was sung out loud. That said, as a skilled composer, he should have been able to hear it playing in his head without Mozart's assistance.
Best use of music in a scene
Scenes like this are why Amadeus is my favorite movie of all time, and I'm usually a sci fi, action, and fantasy movie type.
Esta escena es de las mejores escenas de la historia del cine. Ahí lo dejo.
Toda la película es una genialidad 😊
De acuerdo
"Lacrimosa" was my favourite part of Mozart's "Requiem". It changed when I watched this film and this particular scene. From then on, I prefer "Confutatis [maledictis, flammis acribus addictis]".
Lothario Bazaroff it s funny cause the lacrimosa is supposed to be the part mozart actually left the most uncomplete and therefore the one that needed the most to be completed by his students (from what i remember)
You should listen "Dies Irea" From Mozart's Requiem . It is a masterpiece too
Its like a studio engineer helping a friend lay track after track and bit by bit hes seeing how FIRE the recording is.
My one of favorite scenes in this film. Very touching. Can't stay without tears. Love Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!
Fantastično! Svaki put iznova oduzima dah!
I still get goosebumps watching this!! Love Motzart’s Requiem!
I can't imagine having a mind like this.
Study music and you'll have it.
El Fogon Del Buen Gusto Not quite
Eternally grateful to Professor Tam for making us sing this.
I’ve just come home from watching Amadeus as a play at The Royal Danish Theatre. This scene wasn’t in it, but it was a moving performance. I had to look this up as I’m winding down.
Wish they'd make movies like this again.
Brandon Christopher Hollywood phoning in like: “What’s that?! The people want us to remake ‘Amadeus’?! Get to it!!”
This IS the first Movie when there are two major actors and the both deserved an Oscar
