In mozart's catalogue that he kept of his pieces, there are around 20 blank pages. Seems dumb, but It's pretty powerful because it signifies 20 pages of music he would have written if he had lived longer.
This is sad not just because Mozart is dead, but seeing how they treated him after death is just heartbreaking. Just toss him in with others like he was nothing....so tragic.
as someone who knows Mozart's music well (I've played most of of his piano sonatas, and piano fantasies), it's fascinating to think where his music would have gone in the early 19th century. Had Mozart lived to 1820 (near 65 years old), his music would have grown into the "romantic period" … It's staggering to imagine what he'd have done, with less structural restrictions … the effect on Beethoven, Chopin, and every 19th century composer would have been even MORE profound …
Peanut Mapping thats where his official grave is, but his actualy body is nowhere to be found becuase he was buried in a commong grave with about 50 other people, common graves had no headstones and the bodies were never recorded, theres no record of any type about the location
Actually he was buried in a normal grave. Neither the common graves nor the reusable coffin were used in Vienna. He was buried in St. Marx with all the customs of that period, though in an unmarked grave (like Süssmayr). Actually the coffin was cheaper than the cloth that covered the body. Read this: michaelorenz.blogspot.ro/2013/07/mozart-and-myth-of-reusable-coffins.html
Bryan Southard Does his body matter? He is mortal and his body is gone forever. But his music and thoughts are still alive. Mozart is dead but his music is alive.
Yeah but this scene is not the truth. He was burried in a mass grave but not in a one like this, the real unmarked grave were meant to store 3 coffins, sadly its location is unknow due to that none of his family member visited it and it got forgotten. So they didnt treat the body this cruel, they even made a death mask if him.
Balázs Varga I have no idea what you’re talking about but whatever your saying is wrong. He wasn’t buried in a mass grave, he got a basic funeral, but he wasn’t thrown into a mass grave like this shows.
RoyalPuppies AJ Well... I'm from Latvia. So... I don't think we go to tha same school and the school's name is (in Latvian) Rīgas Valsts Vācu ģimnāzija, but in English it's called Riga State German Grammar School but I don't know why the word 'grammar' is there LOL
It was for his own death, in fact. (?) This was the message I was given, anyway. (It is hinted that he knew it was for his own death (murder, not sickness, you can't know if you're going to get sick or not, of course.))
Also, he wrote this piece on his death bed. I think it's one of the greatest pieces ever composed. The whole Requiem is quite long. (This was just Lacrimosa.)
@@CLASSICALFAN100 I’m not gonna argue that she wasn’t the weak link, as I believe she was. At the same time, she wasn’t that bad and had some strong moments here and there, and there’s nothing wrong with her accent. Every other actor used American accents She was actually a last minute replacement for Jennifer Tilly who had an injury take her out of commission at the time
This whole scene is so powerful... especially when the cut goes to the priest clutching his crucifix with the gorgeous Lacrimosa playing. Brings chills up my spine every time.
The whole film is a masterpiece, even the minor characters stand out , this seen at the end of the maid who was sent to spy on Mozart breaking down is a perfect example , and the music is divine.
ssarmazi I found it on nerflix, i been really intrigued to watch this film, holy mother, i knew he was going to die, but man...i bawled horribly, thank god i was alone, i'm glad i wasn't born during that period, really amazing performance by both main actors.
+ssarmazi No dumbass, not everyone breaks out in tears from watching this scene, but this sure as hell brings strong emotion to anyone human! Maybe their attention is not completely on the movie, they are contemplating on the circumstances, their attention is more connected with their own lives, etc.
He wasn't really buried in a mass grave, though. The term "common grave" was confused by mass grave when it really meant it was a commoner's grave (as opossed to an aristocrat grave), since this was the custom done in Vienna back then. Problem is that common graves could be digged up 10 years after and reused again for another burial, something which the aristocrat graves didn't had to deal with,hence the confussion.
Honestly it wasn’t until i watched this movie the second or third time that i realized just how dark the ending of this movie actually is. The cheerful funny portion of the film seemed to overtake it for me. But how it goes from so positive and happy to watching Mozart’s body dumped into a mass grave while accompanied by a piece he wrote about his own death is just riveting.
What is truly hurtful about this scene is that Salieri could’ve easily paid for Mozart to have an honorable burial with dignity, in a properly marked grave for others to pay their respects to this genius if a maestro. Instead he opted to let Mozart’s body be lost and forgotten, possibly hoping that Mozart’s music would slowly disappear with him as well, so that Salieri could regain his position at the upper echelon of the Viennese music scene.
Didn't Salieri's career tank after Mozart's death? I think it did, because Mozart is far more popular than him even in death. Salieri: I thought you'd be erased from history. Mozart: You thought wrong, bitch. I'm more loved and appreciated than you even in death.
@@GhostFan4Life **TRUE!!** Salieri was fired by the king on the same day that Mozart was buried! The proverb that "Sooner or later, Life pays you back for your misdeeds." couldn't be more appropriate!! RIP, Mozart...
@@alistar92 you're a moron. You know this film isn't even remotely historically accurate, right? It's a work of complete fiction, none of these events actually occurred, it's just as much fiction as Star Wars.
@@duffman18That is your subjective opinion, Mozart is an absolute musical genius and no one doubt that, but greatest composer of all time? That is up to people opinions, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach etc.
100 % true. It's like someone once told me about 2 people running for Prez in the USA; they don't "hate" each other; it's just that "they both want the same job" !
As near as I can tell, the virulent jealousy which Salieri exhibits in his cinematic rivalry with Mozart did not come about until after Mozart's death. It was then that Salieri became bitter about how Mozart was bring hailed as a genius and his music played constantly, while Salieri and his music went into a state of decline.
Mozart was a genius. His music was beyond extraordinary.. I played a couple of his piano pieces. The way they treated him was horrible. I feel so badly for what he went through. His music will live on!!!
@@novadyaomah3168 Notice the man with the shovel who puts the dirt on Mozart we would see him again just before the closing credits in the nut house were Saliari is. While Saliari is in the wheelchair being ascorted in the hall way while he says to everyone I exalt you. That same man is seen hanging on a rope LOL! I guess the death of Mozart got to him? LOL! 🤔🧐🧐🙆♂
i don't know how to describe it. i have always felt this special bond to mozart. ever since i was little when i visited vienna. i always admired him, his talent, his lifestyle, his aesthetic. i remember when i was little, i thought he was alive in the present, but when my parents explained that he is dead i started screaming and crying. i also visited his home in vienna. when i was there i felt so complited and happy, like i could feel his presence. i may be nuts and this all may sound very dumb, but he inspired me to go to a music school where i learned to play piano proffesinally and i started learning german because of the whole vienna experience. i just felt like sharing this, since it makes me really happy. he was so brilliant, he is a legend!
Unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure to visit Vienna and his house but I always felt that connection too. I fell in love with the piano the first time I saw one and started taking lessons, and had the great honor of playing some of his pieces. Mozart still inspires me so much, he will always be an idol to me. Thank you for sharing your story, I really hope one day I will be able to visit his house and maybe feel his presence, just like you did.
The most beautiful music imaginable accompanies this sorrowful scene, and it's terribly moving because we know that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed this music.
@@itsroshaeballyall726 It's Lacrimosa, one of the sections from his unfinished Requiem. He was actually writing this section when he died, so part of it (and what was left of the Requiem) was completed by another composer (Franz Xaver Süssmayr).
Baron von Sweeten is probably one of my favorite secondary characters in this film. He showed true respect towards Mozarts from the beginning right to the end where he's the only authority of royal background that attended Mozart's morose goodbye.
Mozart was not buried in a mass pauper's grave as depicted, but his grave in the St. Marx Cemetery in Vienna was left unmarked. There is a memorial gravestone for Mozart in the cemetery, but we’ll likely never know the actual plot where Mozart was laid to rest.
The truth from Wikipedia "Mozart died in his home on 5 December 1791 (aged 35) at 1:00 am. The New Grove describes his funeral: Mozart was interred in a common grave, in accordance with contemporary Viennese custom, at the St. Marx Cemetery outside the city on 7 December. If, as later reports say, no mourners attended, that too is consistent with Viennese burial customs at the time; later Jahn (1856) wrote that Salieri, Süssmayr, van Swieten and two other musicians were present. The tale of a storm and snow is false; the day was calm and mild.[80] The expression "common grave" refers to neither a communal grave nor a pauper's grave, but to an individual grave for a member of the common people (i.e., not the aristocracy). Common graves were subject to excavation after ten years; the graves of aristocrats were not.[81] The cause of Mozart's death cannot be known with certainty. The official record has it as "hitziges Frieselfieber" ("severe miliary fever", referring to a rash that looks like millet seeds), more a description of the symptoms than a diagnosis. Researchers have posited at least 118 causes of death, including acute rheumatic fever,[82][83] streptococcal infection,[84][85] trichinosis, influenza, mercury poisoning, and a rare kidney ailment.[82] Mozart's modest funeral did not reflect his standing with the public as a composer: memorial services and concerts in Vienna and Prague were well-attended. Indeed, in the period immediately after his death, his reputation rose substantially: Solomon describes an "unprecedented wave of enthusiasm"[86] for his work; biographies were written (first by Schlichtegroll, Niemetschek, and Nissen); and publishers vied to produce complete editions of his works.
Remember the scene in Coco? Where as long as there are people who remember a dead person, that person is immortal and lives on in the afterlife realm, I kind of think it’s that way, where it’s the memories that we leave behind that make us immortal. And when it comes to work like this! Who could forget the genius, the desperation of his in that exact moment when he wrote this piece? It’s so chilling it’s unearthly, hauntingly beautiful 🫀🔥
It does hammer home one undeniable truth... no matter how great one may be in life, we're all equal in the end. The most ornate headstone or crypt in the world won't change the fact that your body rots away just like the poorest person who ever lived. We all return to dust. It's what we do in life, the legacy we leave behind, that matters. Out of the billions of souls who've inhabited this Earth, Mozart did what very, very few ever do... left a legacy that will live forever.
I don't understand how some people dislike this music/scene, they really have no taste. And pls don't give me the speech " everybody is free to like or dislike bullshit" thank you.
@@CLASSICALFAN100 Your comment is very asinine. What did anything in Thomas' comment have to do with Trump, or hillbillies for that matter? Did you just want to express your personal political beliefs on a comment completely unrelated to anything you said? By making a baseless accusation that all those who dont like classical music must be hillbillies and voted for Trump. it shows how incompetent you are. Very foolish, I hope you realize that.
Salieri nearly became (or stole) the heart and soul of this movie, until this poignant scene of Mozart's death, then one understands why the movie is almost cruelly called Amadeus (Love God)
Thank you so much for the upload!! This is one of my favorite movies. Especially this scene is so incredibly strong and sad 😞 If you watch this scene and don’t tear up I don’t really think you are human...
Something about seeing Salieri standing there in the rain is so poetic. Here is a man who technically got all he wanted. He was a great composer, a job in the royal court, a private box at the opera. He had it all. He may have not had Mozart’s genius mind but he did technically get all he prayed for. Though he was so consumed by jealousy and evny he felt he had to destroy Mozart. Now he stands there, a defeated noble in the rain, no requiem mass, no fame and almost as though God is saying, no one will dare test me and win. Salieri got just that.
This was a great scene, the rain the dirt, the music, graveyard, the burying everything fits so freakin perfect that u feel sad for him Even though u didnt like him very mutch the whole Movie.
The biggest soul mankind ever had and will have, threw away like old leaves in a garden at Fall. Until today, 25.11.2014 we never could find anything back - it can not be a coincidence!
What's worse is Franz Had to grow up without a father for the next 53 years of his life also Constaze was left with a broken heart up until her death in 1842 when she was finally reunited with her husband in clouds above 0:02 Also Nice acting there Elizabeth Also nice job playing dead Tom this scene had me crying 😢 Noot Noot
As a child, when I first watched this movie, I remember just how shocked and saddened this made me; not because of the morbidity of throwing a human carcass in a hole like a trash bag in a landfill, but because even then I could not understand how someone as wonderful, as gifted and who gave so much to the world could have ended this way... broke, sick and buried in a pauper's grave. It still rattles me. I know it's impossible, but I also remember thinking that they should have exhumed the entire area looking for his body to give him a dignified burial. The world owes a massive debt of gratitude to this man.
@@RealHieronymus-Flex Mozart drank and worked himself to death. He clearly caught some sort of pneumonia. He would have died right there at the theater if not for Salieri taking him home, so he could die in the comfort and dignity of his own bed. He stayed with Mozart till the end and shared his final moments completing his final masterpiece. Not even his wife was there for him. Maybe Salieri's motivation was sinister but his actions were sincere. He was definitely bitter with Mozart for pissing his talents away on drink and party and he unscrupulously tried to motivate him to write a requiem. It drove him mad because he was the only one who fully comprehended Mozart's genius at the time. Perhaps Salieri could have promoted his operas more instead of jealously suppressing them as court composer, but Mozart did the majority of the damage to himself. He was so toxic and frivolous with money that his own wife left him. Mozart was also not completely innocent of inflicting damage to Salieri. Insulting his march in front of the court, making fun of him at parties, etc. However, they did form a bond at the very end. Mozart asks Salieri at the end to excuse his foolishness and forgive him, he seems to be aware that he did hurt Salieri with his behavior. They did share a tender moment while composing together. Salieri definitely felt sympathy for Mozart and perhaps he regretted being so hard on him. He appears genuinely remorseful when he dies and attends his funeral, even if he was still bitter. (In the film of course, it's all fiction.) The film is actually quite a masterpiece in it's own right and has many layers.
@@RealHieronymus-Flex In the film, Salieri is portrayed as jealous, petty and vindictive but, ultimately, his actions are noble despite his motivations. He is depicted as Mozart's biggest critic but he is also his biggest fan. That is why Murray got the Oscar for this film. A deeper character analysis makes clear that Salieri is actually not the villain but an antihero.
First time I saw this movie Amadeus I was amazed by his music such a powerful soundtrack conducted by someone who knew an listened to his music. I still enjoy watching this movie to this day. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1756 - 1791. A fine Composer for such a short period of time.
Mozart may have died young but hundreds of years later his name and influence in music is still shared and heard today in some way shape or form now that's a great legacy even after his lineage passes on in time.
Even as I watched this the first time - at the age of only 12 - and I had no notion of the concept of "Audience Surrogate", when we got to the point where the bedraggled Father Vogler looks up, I really _felt_ him... I felt as wrung out and emotionally drained as he looks. It was an absolutely brilliant move by Shaffer and Forman to include that character, because it puts you - as the viewer -into the story in such an amazing way.
My College Choir is doing Lacrymosa which is the song used in this scene. I listen to it, I read the translation, and I watch this scene and now it's clear how the song fits in with Mozart. The words, "Lacrymosa/MournfulDies Illa/That dayQua Resurget Ex Favilla/ When from the ashes shall riseJudicandus Homo Reus/ Guilty man to be judgedHuic Ergo Parce Deus/ Lord, have mercy on himPie Jesu Domine/ Gentle Lord JesusDona Eis Requiem/Grant them eternal rest."It all fits and makes it kind of haunting. It's beautiful. How they make it all fit. And I guess it makes sense when they said it was like Mozart was writing his own Requiem. It's crazy but astounding.
Mozart: In the eyes of History, I always thought your music would be judge... the best. Salieri: Really? Mozart: But now that I'm dying young, I'll be cool forever... Eat my pantaloons!
what I perceive is that the director wants to say that genius or mediocre, we are all united in death. I am so "offended" by this scene every time i watch it that tears flow. It's not history though, Forma stated himself it's fiction. Mozart can't really die, he earned immortality via his immortal art.
What's so painful is how unceremonial his burial was. He wasn't given a funeral of a dignified burial in a graveyard; he was just dumped into a hole with hundreds of others. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Arguably the greatest musician in human history, was disposed of like waste. His loved ones couldn't go visit his grave or lay flowers; once he was wheeled out of the city, he was gone forever
Don't worry, Mozart died but that doesn't mean that music has ended completely .In Bonn, Germany, there is a new legend born. His name is Ludwig, he will rule Vienna by his music!
Notice at ~ 0:49 that the mourners do not follow the funeral hearse, but remain at the (guarded) city gates. They had no choice; they had to obey the law. Emperor Joseph II had decreed that funeral expenses would be kept to an *ABSOLUTE MINIMUM* throughout his reign. (The initial provision about body-bags replacing coffins, as depicted in the film, was soon overturned after a huge public outcry.) Emperor Joseph II was an enlightened monarch on the lines of Frederick the Great, and I'm sure that many of "his people" were very grateful indeed! Reply: TheVictorian Baroness Thanks for the info. Seems cruel but very wise in the long run.
Actually, he was buried in an individual grave. He would have had a grave like those at 1:59. It's just that after 8 years, the grave would have been reused. That's why it was a common burial and not a fancy one. The rich could keep their graves forever. The commoners were dug out after some years. In Romania, in big cities (like mine), if you're not a celebrity, you still have to pay a concession for the grave. It's basically renting it for 20 years. After 20 years, you must pay again, or it is reused. This, of course, unless the cemetery is closed. Most old cemeteries are closed, and, unless you already have a plot there, you can't be buried there. In smaller cities, you can straight buy a plot, and in the villages, you just have to pay the annual contribution to the church (about 20+ euro), although the church claims that its not necessary. Also, the crosses at 1:59, are similar to the temporary crosses used in Romania. You can choose to have a fancy grave with granite or marble or concrete, but, at the burial it is used a cross made of wood or metal (like those).
Little do the people of this time knows that the music that this man made will live on for centuries. Little do they know that the music will be listened to people all over the world.
To those who don't know who Mozart is he is a great composer who made many songs that were beautiful but unfortunately he collapsed on one of his operas and died in bed,let him rest in peace and that his music flows through the earth.
@@MoonChild-w2f It's Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem Mass, K. 626. This piece was never finished, and it was completed by Mozart's student after his death.
Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem. Fittingly, it was the part of the requiem he was in the middle of writing when he died. (He didn't die exactly as he was writing it)

No one knows the exact location of Mozart's grave. He died poor and was buried the way most people where at the time. He lived a hard, fast and lavish lifestyle spending his money faster than he could earn it. he was the orginal rock star, the Mozarts certainly must of had a lot of fun together. After Mozart's death his widow Constance worked hard at preserving her husband's legacy and eventually was able to amass a considerable fortune for her self and lived to the ripe old age of 78 which is outstanding for those times outliving her second husband by many years. Without her work we may not have known much about Mozart or be able to enjoy his music 230 odd years later...
He lives forever through his music

Mass graves were the most common form of burial for someone with little money at the time in that society.
@Stanford Pines being homeless and uneducated doesn't make anyone less of a human. How fucking stupid are you?
@Mr Phil wrong. It was a disease that was going around and they thought that he died from that, So he was placed in an mass grave
I don't want to imagine what he would have composed if he didn't die so early...
right?! can you imagine if he and beethoven met? i wonder what mozart's response would have been to beethoven's 9th.
Hurts too much to think about it

He didnt deserve the least bit to be buried in a pauper's graveyard, he was so wonderful
He was not buried in a graveyard, he's body was dumped along with other thousands of bodies in a hole.
He was dumped in a mass grave along with many others. This was due to an outbreak at that time.
They did not have Much Money so he GOT thrown in to that Hole and then HIS wife starvd to death Idk What happend to her !!!!!!!!!

pass away at that age. 😟
@@pseunition6038 Jeez, shut up!
Honestly it wasn’t until i watched this movie the second or third time that i realized just how dark the ending of this movie actually is. The cheerful funny portion of the film seemed to overtake it for me. But how it goes from so positive and happy to watching Mozart’s body dumped into a mass grave while accompanied by a piece he wrote about his own death is just riveting.
What is truly hurtful about this scene is that Salieri could’ve easily paid for Mozart to have an honorable burial with dignity, in a properly marked grave for others to pay their respects to this genius if a maestro.
Instead he opted to let Mozart’s body be lost and forgotten, possibly hoping that Mozart’s music would slowly disappear with him as well, so that Salieri could regain his position at the upper echelon of the Viennese music scene.
Didn't Salieri's career tank after Mozart's death? I think it did, because Mozart is far more popular than him even in death.
Salieri: I thought you'd be erased from history.
Mozart: You thought wrong, bitch. I'm more loved and appreciated than you even in death.
@@GhostFan4Life **TRUE!!** Salieri was fired by the king on the same day that Mozart was buried! The proverb that "Sooner or later, Life pays you back for your misdeeds." couldn't be more appropriate!! RIP, Mozart...
@@GhostFan4Lifetruth is that salieri was more popular than mozart back in those days)) Also he was teacher of dozen of legendary composers
Mozart and Salieri were not friend. Salieri take the best job despite he was a mediocre composer.
@@alistar92 you're a moron. You know this film isn't even remotely historically accurate, right? It's a work of complete fiction, none of these events actually occurred, it's just as much fiction as Star Wars.

The greatest composer of all time, buried in a paupers grave, such a tragic end to a genius. He should have had a monument built to him at the time.
Well he has a beautiful one now ! Built around 1855 actually ! A little too late after his death but at least someone did it !
He's not the greatest composer of all time. That would be Beethoven.
@@duffman18That is your subjective opinion, Mozart is an absolute musical genius and no one doubt that, but greatest composer of all time? That is up to people opinions, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach etc.
It sad to know that there will never be someone like Mozart ever again.
IRL Mozart and Saliery's rivalry was only on a professional level.
100 % true. It's like someone once told me about 2 people running for Prez in the USA; they don't "hate" each other; it's just that "they both want the same job" !
There really was no rivalry this movie is based on a fictional play called mozart and saliery written after salierys death.
It’s like naruto and sauke
As near as I can tell, the virulent jealousy which Salieri exhibits in his cinematic rivalry with Mozart did not come about until after Mozart's death. It was then that Salieri became bitter about how Mozart was bring hailed as a genius and his music played constantly, while Salieri and his music went into a state of decline.
It makes Tesla's and Edison's rivalry look like a 3rd grade fight
Rest in peace maestro!

The things you learn.
i don't know how to describe it. i have always felt this special bond to mozart. ever since i was little when i visited vienna. i always admired him, his talent, his lifestyle, his aesthetic. i remember when i was little, i thought he was alive in the present, but when my parents explained that he is dead i started screaming and crying. i also visited his home in vienna. when i was there i felt so complited and happy, like i could feel his presence. i may be nuts and this all may sound very dumb, but he inspired me to go to a music school where i learned to play piano proffesinally and i started learning german because of the whole vienna experience. i just felt like sharing this, since it makes me really happy. he was so brilliant, he is a legend!
Thank you so much for sharing
I hope he would know and guide you on the way
Unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure to visit Vienna and his house but I always felt that connection too. I fell in love with the piano the first time I saw one and started taking lessons, and had the great honor of playing some of his pieces. Mozart still inspires me so much, he will always be an idol to me. Thank you for sharing your story, I really hope one day I will be able to visit his house and maybe feel his presence, just like you did.
When I get a time machine I'll time travel and marry Mozart and adopt you

Baron von Sweeten is probably one of my favorite secondary characters in this film. He showed true respect towards Mozarts from the beginning right to the end where he's the only authority of royal background that attended Mozart's morose goodbye.
Mozart being taken before his time is truly one of the greatest tragedies in human history
I remember watching this scene in bed when I had a fever and sympathizing with Mozart's pain. Everytime I re-watch it it reminds me when I was sick.
no matter where he was buried, his music will be there forever.
Mozart was not buried in a mass pauper's grave as depicted, but his grave in the St. Marx Cemetery in Vienna was left unmarked. There is a memorial gravestone for Mozart in the cemetery, but we’ll likely never know the actual plot where Mozart was laid to rest.
The truth from Wikipedia
"Mozart died in his home on 5 December 1791 (aged 35) at 1:00 am. The New Grove describes his funeral:
Mozart was interred in a common grave, in accordance with contemporary Viennese custom, at the St. Marx Cemetery outside the city on 7 December. If, as later reports say, no mourners attended, that too is consistent with Viennese burial customs at the time; later Jahn (1856) wrote that Salieri, Süssmayr, van Swieten and two other musicians were present. The tale of a storm and snow is false; the day was calm and mild.[80]
The expression "common grave" refers to neither a communal grave nor a pauper's grave, but to an individual grave for a member of the common people (i.e., not the aristocracy). Common graves were subject to excavation after ten years; the graves of aristocrats were not.[81]
The cause of Mozart's death cannot be known with certainty. The official record has it as "hitziges Frieselfieber" ("severe miliary fever", referring to a rash that looks like millet seeds), more a description of the symptoms than a diagnosis. Researchers have posited at least 118 causes of death, including acute rheumatic fever,[82][83] streptococcal infection,[84][85] trichinosis, influenza, mercury poisoning, and a rare kidney ailment.[82]
Mozart's modest funeral did not reflect his standing with the public as a composer: memorial services and concerts in Vienna and Prague were well-attended. Indeed, in the period immediately after his death, his reputation rose substantially: Solomon describes an "unprecedented wave of enthusiasm"[86] for his work; biographies were written (first by Schlichtegroll, Niemetschek, and Nissen); and publishers vied to produce complete editions of his works.

Remember the scene in Coco? Where as long as there are people who remember a dead person, that person is immortal and lives on in the afterlife realm, I kind of think it’s that way, where it’s the memories that we leave behind that make us immortal. And when it comes to work like this! Who could forget the genius, the desperation of his in that exact moment when he wrote this piece? It’s so chilling it’s unearthly, hauntingly beautiful 🫀🔥
Rest In Peace, Mozart 🥀🥀🥀 Your music will remain in our hearts.
And there was my friend's death.
Your kids’ friend
It does hammer home one undeniable truth... no matter how great one may be in life, we're all equal in the end. The most ornate headstone or crypt in the world won't change the fact that your body rots away just like the poorest person who ever lived. We all return to dust. It's what we do in life, the legacy we leave behind, that matters. Out of the billions of souls who've inhabited this Earth, Mozart did what very, very few ever do... left a legacy that will live forever.
I don't understand how some people dislike this music/scene, they really have no taste. And pls don't give me the speech " everybody is free to like or dislike bullshit" thank you.
Everybody is free to like or dislike bullshit.

It takes different strokes to move the world 🌎
Salieri nearly became (or stole) the heart and soul of this movie, until this poignant scene of Mozart's death, then one understands why the movie is almost cruelly called Amadeus (Love God)
Saddest this part of the movie...Mozart's death....R.I.P.
Anyone else adore that cut from mozarts grave to the priest with the cross in his hand?
Yes
Thank you so much for the upload!!
This is one of my favorite movies.
Especially this scene is so incredibly strong and sad 😞
If you watch this scene and don’t tear up I don’t really think you are human...
Something about seeing Salieri standing there in the rain is so poetic. Here is a man who technically got all he wanted. He was a great composer, a job in the royal court, a private box at the opera. He had it all. He may have not had Mozart’s genius mind but he did technically get all he prayed for. Though he was so consumed by jealousy and evny he felt he had to destroy Mozart. Now he stands there, a defeated noble in the rain, no requiem mass, no fame and almost as though God is saying, no one will dare test me and win. Salieri got just that.
I still remember how shocked I was when I saw this at the cinema
5 December 1791, this was.
LOVE the troll laugh at the end.
That's MOZART LAUGHING AT SALIERI, from beyond the grave...
This was a great scene, the rain the dirt, the music, graveyard, the burying everything fits so freakin perfect that u feel sad for him Even though u didnt like him very mutch the whole Movie.
I attended the Requiem by Mozart at the local symphony last night. Goosebumps.

As a child, when I first watched this movie, I remember just how shocked and saddened this made me; not because of the morbidity of throwing a human carcass in a hole like a trash bag in a landfill, but because even then I could not understand how someone as wonderful, as gifted and who gave so much to the world could have ended this way... broke, sick and buried in a pauper's grave. It still rattles me. I know it's impossible, but I also remember thinking that they should have exhumed the entire area looking for his body to give him a dignified burial. The world owes a massive debt of gratitude to this man.
When I was younger, I thought the film depicted Salieri as the villain but now I understand that he was Mozart's biggest fan.
He's still the villain. He ruined Mozarts life out of jealousy
@@RealHieronymus-Flex Mozart drank and worked himself to death. He clearly caught some sort of pneumonia. He would have died right there at the theater if not for Salieri taking him home, so he could die in the comfort and dignity of his own bed. He stayed with Mozart till the end and shared his final moments completing his final masterpiece. Not even his wife was there for him. Maybe Salieri's motivation was sinister but his actions were sincere. He was definitely bitter with Mozart for pissing his talents away on drink and party and he unscrupulously tried to motivate him to write a requiem. It drove him mad because he was the only one who fully comprehended Mozart's genius at the time. Perhaps Salieri could have promoted his operas more instead of jealously suppressing them as court composer, but Mozart did the majority of the damage to himself. He was so toxic and frivolous with money that his own wife left him. Mozart was also not completely innocent of inflicting damage to Salieri. Insulting his march in front of the court, making fun of him at parties, etc. However, they did form a bond at the very end. Mozart asks Salieri at the end to excuse his foolishness and forgive him, he seems to be aware that he did hurt Salieri with his behavior. They did share a tender moment while composing together. Salieri definitely felt sympathy for Mozart and perhaps he regretted being so hard on him. He appears genuinely remorseful when he dies and attends his funeral, even if he was still bitter. (In the film of course, it's all fiction.) The film is actually quite a masterpiece in it's own right and has many layers.
@@RealHieronymus-Flex In the film, Salieri is portrayed as jealous, petty and vindictive but, ultimately, his actions are noble despite his motivations. He is depicted as Mozart's biggest critic but he is also his biggest fan. That is why Murray got the Oscar for this film. A deeper character analysis makes clear that Salieri is actually not the villain but an antihero.
Even though he died young, the world is so lucky to have had him at all....
Why didn't Salieri pay for Mozart's funeral and grave?
***** Then why not pay ? Why make him burried in the pauper's grave
***** Nahh Salieri is Rich as hell as a court musician in the movie.
David Frigault If that is true why there is a lot of musicans at the time if even royal musicians can barely earn enough to live?
The film is fiction Salieri has never known Mozart, why has not paid the Mozart's funeral.
Icomunist - never knew Mozart ? Who taught you that? Commie reeducation school? You ignorant brainwashed piece of human shit.
The light, the rain, the acting, the costumes, the music, the place, the moment. GLORIOUS CINEMA.
First time I saw this movie Amadeus I was amazed by his music such a powerful soundtrack conducted by someone who knew an listened to his music. I still enjoy watching this movie to this day.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart 1756 - 1791. A fine Composer for such a short period of time.
Poor Wolfie. Take a moment to give thanks that we have it so much better now.
Mozart may have died young but hundreds of years later his name and influence in music is still shared and heard today in some way shape or form now that's a great legacy even after his lineage passes on in time.
Even as I watched this the first time - at the age of only 12 - and I had no notion of the concept of "Audience Surrogate", when we got to the point where the bedraggled Father Vogler looks up, I really _felt_ him... I felt as wrung out and emotionally drained as he looks. It was an absolutely brilliant move by Shaffer and Forman to include that character, because it puts you - as the viewer -into the story in such an amazing way.
Фильм - шедевр! Полная драматизма сцена смерти и захоронения величайшего композитора всех времён!!! Невозможно смотреть без слез!
My College Choir is doing Lacrymosa which is the song used in this scene. I listen to it, I read the translation, and I watch this scene and now it's clear how the song fits in with Mozart. The words, "Lacrymosa/MournfulDies Illa/That dayQua Resurget Ex Favilla/ When from the ashes shall riseJudicandus Homo Reus/ Guilty man to be judgedHuic Ergo Parce Deus/ Lord, have mercy on himPie Jesu Domine/ Gentle Lord JesusDona Eis Requiem/Grant them eternal rest."It all fits and makes it kind of haunting. It's beautiful. How they make it all fit. And I guess it makes sense when they said it was like Mozart was writing his own Requiem. It's crazy but astounding.
Úžasné !!! ❤️👌❤️
Toto zpracování nikdo nepřekona !!! 👑👑👑
Děkujeme, Mistre Formanne !!!
But wait. MOZART lives still today with his music. For SURE.
If there was no Mozart, there was no music! 🎹🎼 God bless him!
Easily one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed. Vintage Mozart and what a wonderful scene this was even though sad.
He was the God's gift and we still can't know where actually he was buried...
And with his music he’s still alive even he hadn’t his own grave..
And, **GOD BLESS TOM HULCE** !! The performance of a lifetime...
Mozart: In the eyes of History, I always thought your music would be judge... the best.
Salieri: Really?
Mozart: But now that I'm dying young, I'll be cool forever... Eat my pantaloons!
what I perceive is that the director wants to say that genius or mediocre, we are all united in death. I am so "offended" by this scene every time i watch it that tears flow. It's not history though, Forma stated himself it's fiction. Mozart can't really die, he earned immortality via his immortal art.
What's so painful is how unceremonial his burial was. He wasn't given a funeral of a dignified burial in a graveyard; he was just dumped into a hole with hundreds of others.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Arguably the greatest musician in human history, was disposed of like waste. His loved ones couldn't go visit his grave or lay flowers; once he was wheeled out of the city, he was gone forever
R.I.P. Milos Forman - This is your masterpiece.
I remember always crying my eyes out to this part when I was a kid to teenager. Now I just can't cry anymore to anything. I don't think ...
The music selections for this film were phenomenal..especially the Lacrimosa for this scene. Even the credits rolling.
Don't worry, Mozart died but that doesn't mean that music has ended completely .In Bonn, Germany, there is a new legend born. His name is Ludwig, he will rule Vienna by his music!
Notice at ~ 0:49 that the mourners do not follow the funeral hearse, but remain at the (guarded) city gates. They had no choice; they had to obey the law. Emperor Joseph II had decreed that funeral expenses would be kept to an *ABSOLUTE MINIMUM* throughout his reign. (The initial provision about body-bags replacing coffins, as depicted in the film, was soon overturned after a huge public outcry.) Emperor Joseph II was an enlightened monarch on the lines of Frederick the Great, and I'm sure that many of "his people" were very grateful indeed!

Thanks for the info. Seems cruel but very wise in the long run.
We will all remember him.And if we forget him we will remember him again through his music
Actually, he was buried in an individual grave. He would have had a grave like those at 1:59. It's just that after 8 years, the grave would have been reused. That's why it was a common burial and not a fancy one. The rich could keep their graves forever. The commoners were dug out after some years. In Romania, in big cities (like mine), if you're not a celebrity, you still have to pay a concession for the grave. It's basically renting it for 20 years. After 20 years, you must pay again, or it is reused. This, of course, unless the cemetery is closed. Most old cemeteries are closed, and, unless you already have a plot there, you can't be buried there. In smaller cities, you can straight buy a plot, and in the villages, you just have to pay the annual contribution to the church (about 20+ euro), although the church claims that its not necessary. Also, the crosses at 1:59, are similar to the temporary crosses used in Romania. You can choose to have a fancy grave with granite or marble or concrete, but, at the burial it is used a cross made of wood or metal (like those).
Little do the people of this time knows that the music that this man made will live on for centuries. Little do they know that the music will be listened to people all over the world.
Fun fact: the version of Lacrimosa used in this scene was not Süßmayr's traditional completion. This version was made by Franz Beyer in 1971.
To those who don't know who Mozart is he is a great composer who made many songs that were beautiful but unfortunately he collapsed on one of his operas and died in bed,let him
rest in peace and that his music flows through the earth.
One of the most powerful endings of all time

(1756-1791)
About 20th time seen this movie/ending and now knowing I'd cry for Mozart. Needed that.
No one knows the exact location of Mozart's grave. He died poor and was buried the way most people where at the time. He lived a hard, fast and lavish lifestyle spending his money faster than he could earn it. he was the orginal rock star, the Mozarts certainly must of had a lot of fun together. After Mozart's death his widow Constance worked hard at preserving her husband's legacy and eventually was able to amass a considerable fortune for her self and lived to the ripe old age of 78 which is outstanding for those times outliving her second husband by many years. Without her work we may not have known much about Mozart or be able to enjoy his music 230 odd years later...
