One point about the movie that is often overlooked is that salieri is a master too. He is one of the few who immediately recognizes and appreciates Mozarts full genius. And what he does in this scene, writing down the exact notes based on Mozarts very compressed instructions is very hard technically.
"From now on, we are enemies - You and I. Because You choose for Your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation."
Salieri was a grand Master and it wouldn't be that difficult for anyone on his level to fully orchestrate based on that few instructions. It was common for composers to write short hands and abbreviations and left the rest for the player or the maestro to complete.
The fact that BOTH of them are able to hear the music while still on paper is so awesome, both minds connected. I love Salieri's face when he finally understands what Mozart is trying to do 3:35 "yes yes yes!"
in college, at grambling state university, there was a portion of the marching band that formed a quintet, and they all could do this. I play the piano. I am out of practice, but I could listen to a song and then go to the music hall and play the whole thing, but the trumpet player was just like Mozart. I would say write it down. I miss those guys. lost touch after graduation.
Every composition major is expected to be able to do this to some extent. People are always blown away music could be heard internally by reading it, but what's really impressive is to be able to come up with such music in the first place.
For all who dont know, a little funfact: In the beginning when Mozart says "A-minor" and looks like he is in a mix of panic and not remembering it, was not scripted. It fits the scene and looks like he is to ill to compose...however, to do this scene true to the music and the beat, Both Hulce (Mozart) and Abrams had earplugs to have the music in realtime. But at first Hulces earplugs didnt work, so he was waiting and Abrams asked him, not knowing...glad they kept it in, its fits brilliant to the scene.
danke Dir - Thank you macht das Ganze noch interessanter. makes the whole scene more interesting than it was ever before. Denn man kann sich vorstellen wie komponieren, wie Mozart es konnte fast mathematisch ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit ist, dennoch möglich war. Because just because this we can image how composing, the way Mozart did is if you see it in mahtematics way a "no possible at all", although he could it.
It always made me think of what Salieri said about Mozart when reading his scores of music when Costanza secretly brought them to him. "It was like he was taking dictation from god". In that moment he was pondering A minor, but really, he was waiting divine inspiration.
the point most people ignore is that this is fiction. Peter Schafer just used Mozard and Salieri as tropes to portray his metaphorical conflict between genius and mediocrity. By no means was Salieri ever mediocre and Mozart the superhuman musical genius in an infantile pervy man. Also, I doubt Mozart laughed like a chicken! That said, this movie is one of the best of all time.
The movie does portray Salieri being highly respected in his time, remember how the emperor reacts to all of his operas positively, whereas he always has some complaint or another with mozart's, it does however show that by the time that Salieri died, his music wasn't remembered as well, which was absolutely true.
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 this movie's portrayal of mozart was pretty dead on historically, and i don't see a need to erase what you don't like about him. from his own letters to his family, he loved fart and shit jokes and as others have said, he had a cackling laugh. and i find that very endearing about him. and have you listened to salieri's music? i have and it's astounding how forgettable it is. to quote shakespeare, 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'
Whoever edited this originally with the score and highlighting the notes should get an award. If this had been in the original movie it would have elevated this scene ad infinitum.
U can't? I can. We live in a time when people consider Kanye West a musical genius. They are incapable of appreciating something this brilliant. Its a shame that the best music that ever was, classical music, is the least popular. At least Big Band, Jazz, Rock'n'Roll even with all the sub categories still involved writing music and instruments. Now? crap.
@@Lil_Mozart_V I watched it as a kid and appreciated it back then. I appreciate it even more so now as an adult. I grew up learning classical instruments so maybe that was why it had such a profound effect on me.
I love the fact that Milos kept the technical hiccup @ 1:00 where Tom Hulce couldn't hear the lines in his earpiece and stuck on 'A minor' however F. Murray Abraham stayed in character and fed the lines back so Tom would remember. It looks this way as Wolfgang is just simply tired and Antonio is just enthusiastic. Brilliant move.
@@matthewallen1834 Yes. Because apart from filming conditions, this is what actually happened in story. By accident (device malfunction on the set) they've expressed beautifully the mystery of creation.
This is not only brilliant, it is magnificent. This is not only one of the greatest contributions to UA-cam EVER, but is indeed a great contribution and tribute to the arts.
I’m not a musician and I can’t read music, but this is one of the most beautiful and brilliant videos I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Simply amazing. Thank you.
@@shadowmistress999 admittedly, a lot of what he does makes sense to trained musicians. It's just that realizing as you're looking at the music that everything makes perfect sense and fits is different than being able to write it yourself.
I love the subtext in this scene--this whole movie is soaked in it, really--but you can tell that Mozart is just as frustrated as Salieri. He can barely enunciate what's going on in his head because it's always been so natural and instinctual, and Salieri's frustration feeds on it, how he barely understands the process (still locked away as a mystery in Mozart's brain) but he fully understands the results. There's such an ebb and flow of excitement and frustration as they struggle to communicate in pace with genius. It amazes me how such an abstract and complicated concept of artistic intuition can be captured in the medium of cinema.
I'm more impressed that they could make this scene in the movie and that the person who edited this video did such amazing visuals than I am with the fact that Mozart wrote this (which is also incredible). This is fantastic.

@ Motherland Mars… not to deny any God, yours or mine, if there is one composer that totally immerse himself in his music and true greatness of his genius created the music without the presence of any God, is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, read his many biographies, all state that he put church apart from his music. No Allah, no God, A Man and his genius A hundred year before Nietzsche
As someone in their late 20’s who is just beginning to study music theory and has a tenuous grasp of notes themselves, I can honestly say it is nothing short of miraculous that someone was able come up with this on their own. Absolutely mind-blowing…
2024 and this is still by far, my favorite scene. Salieri can finally witness the genius Mozart was, and the acting was pitch perfect. Also, kudos to whoever included the notes and the animations.
Great scene, even though it never happened. It seems Mozart and Salieri were actually good friends, not enemies. And it is another Austrian composer, Franz Xaver Süssmay, a student of Mozart, who became known as the one to have completed Mozart's Requiem Mass left unfinished at his death.
Stunning, just stunning!. The visualization ads an element for us non-musicians that brings home the complexity of the work. I saw this film with my Godmother on a trip to London in 1985 and then she took me to a performance of the Requiem at the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields! I can't help but think of her and that trip every time I hear this work. She passed a few years ago at 89... if I could make art like this, I would do it as my tribute to her memory and the brilliance of the music that brought us together.
In real history, it was actually one of his pupils, Franz Sussmayr sitting next to him, assisting the composition at that time. Although it probably wasn't as dramatic as the movie, I would like to believe that it must have been nights filled with flaming passion, burning his last remaining life into the music.

@@JamesMecs Mozart yongest son's name was also Franz. Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart. It is known that Mozart named his son after his pupil, Sussmayr. Franz Sussmayr was one of his pupils and he is the one who finished the Requiem - especially Sanctus-Benedictus & Agnus Dei is his sole composition but it's believed that he did so by referencing many of Mozart work and instruction he left. Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart also led his life as a composer but unfortunately, he wasn't as successful as his father. His work remained in the frame of classical age but the trend in his time already transitioned to Romantic age.
One of the most powerful scenes in movie history! It's intense profoundity shakes every nerve ! Accompanied by the genius of Mozarts music the magnificence is beyond mere words.
Totally agree. Tom Hulce off the scale. Pity they couldn't have 2 best actor Oscars for this exceptional piece of culture. It's not just spectacular cinema and music, it's an epic human conflict story to rival any classic one can choose. Adore this entire movie for a myriad reasons. 💖
Sorry to disappoint you, it’s not Mozart’s music, blind fanzone idolotary does no good to anyone. The Confutatis theme is lifted directly from Anfossi’s Sinfonia Venezia (second movement) though what Mozart does with it is indeed, very special.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 All art is a cross fertilisation. And as you say, it's what Mozart dies with it. You don't need to invent stuff from scratch to qualify. Cheers
@@maryvasilakakos7387 Sorry but this is pseudo-intellectual would-be gobbledegook; not sure where exactly Mozart ‘dies’ (sic), but what I said was pretty straightforward, and it certainly didn’t need any sort of correction from yourself.
I consider myself really lucky to be able to have sang the entire Requiem with an orchestra and a choir of up to 250 people. Before the concerts, I didn't realise the magnitude of what I was a part of, but the weekend I spent with the giant choir and orchestra will be a memory I'll never let go of!
@@arthurscumbagmorgan2339 I am a musician and I know quite a few people that have sang in Mozart's Requiem. It actually is a piece of music and it does get performed, therefore there are people that have performed it. It happens.
To echo a line in the film delivered by F. Murray Abraham, "I was staring through the cage of those meticulous ink strokes - at an absolute beauty." What a terrific job of annotating this incredible scene. Take a bow!

Those 4 little measures at Voca Me...instant tears. The passion in the entire section is just unreal. And then comes the Lachrymosa...the buildup brings me to tears just thinking about it.
This has always been my favorite movie and with adding the scrolling score, it brings it even more to life and shows the true genius that was Mozart. This is the best UA-cam video I have ever seen...
This clip shows the tremendous amount of work that even the editors had to do. The acting, the directing, the writers, the visual content of the notes. This was a tremendous movie in every aspect imaginable!!
This is one of the greatest videos I have ever seen on UA-cam! My Dad loved Mozart and we played ‘Confutatis’ at his funeral. He’d have absolutely loved this.

Salieri gives this little smile at 3:30, and I can't help but think that 1) he thinks his plan is starting to really come together and 2) he is finally able to observe Motzart's genius up close and personal. Excellent acting job by both of these gentlemen.
This is my favorite part of the whole movie. Displays Mozart's mavelous musical skills and Salieri's respects and total admiration for Mozart even though he was helping him to compuse the music for his funeral.
The fictive story of this relation between Mozart and Salieri is used to demonstrate the hatred and jealousy of the mediocre against the ingenious, which is seen as a fundamental truth of human behaviour by the author Peter Schaffer.
My Godness!!!! Whoever took the time to do this is a freaking genius, the coordination movie-music sheet is astonishing, even highlighted the pace, instruments and notes with a perfect timing, thank you a bunch, your effort was so worth it and it is appreciated.
I wish I'd had this when I was studying music. I am a visual thinker but a sound performer. Musical notation always confused me, but this is marvelous. It combines what enters through the ear with the notation in real time. Thank you.
@@carolynzaremba5469 Same. The notation didn't confuse me, really. The issues I had were how to know exactly which notes harmonize well with others. Once I saw the score here, it made so much more sense. Plus my ear isn't perfect either.
There is a respect here. A deep, forged respect. You could spend the entire film viewing these two as bitter foes, but in this one scene they are united in the service of genius. Excellent.
irl they respected each other and hadnt any type of animosity. maybe salieri even respected mozart more than mozart respected salieri, as in one letter to his father mozart talks shit abt the italians
There is so much irony in this scene. Salieri wanted nothing more than to be an instrument of God for music, and by helping Mozart, he became that instrument but not in the way he had imagined or wanted.
They were neither bitter foes in life nor in this film. Salière is portrayed as jealous of Mozart and spiteful that God gave genius to vulgar Mozart rather than to fully competent him.
@@dolinaj1 film isnt really supposed to be accurate its based on a book which just uses the characters to show what jealously can do also its just in saleris head and not what he outright shown
And the most astonishing thing: Mozart had completed this ... IN HIS HEAD ... and was merely dictating it to be written down. It was already completely written before a single word was spoken.

this scene haunts me. I grew up listening to and loving classical music, I knew of the requiem before I saw this film, but even focusing on the Confutatis, I could never pick out the trombones. I didn't even know they were there. But at 2:40, when they are isolated from the rest, they sound *magical*
Well they sound like brass, there is no magic my friend only ingenious engineering of sound through the changing of air pressures via the lips. It's not magical it is technology! :) But this piece is one of my favourites so I have to agree that this was the best scene in the film. 10/10 Mozart! Again!

@@joe-nf8go There's a video of Frank Zappa's son trying to pick apart one of his father's recordings. He was looking for a strange percussion sound. They finally isolated it to the female chorus singers. It turned out to be their jewellery was jangling and the vocal microphone had picked up the sound.
I was majoring in music when I saw this and many other music students said this scene was the best part of the movie and I agreed. Whomever put in the scrolling music score was amazing! Thank you for doing this! It made this scene better.
This should be shown in every Music class if they need to know how sheet music is written. Also kudos to the video editor who put the time into editing this! They are doing God's work!
This is my favourite part. I really wonder if it was already complete in his head and he just suffered the impatience to get it down on paper . I'm not religious but I like the part where Salieri refered to it being as if he was taking dictation from God.
As a good musician without insane talent like Mozart, Salieri actually did a fine job following Mozart without getting lost. What a tragedy to live under the shadow of such a shining talent. Beautiful music and terrific work putting this video together. It feels like getting into the mind of Mozart!
Salieri does an amazing job following Mozart in this scene. Even for a world-class musician like Salieri, he would definitely have some difficulty following Mozart's staccato-like demands but in the end be able to write the composition accurately once he understands the entire part.
I think your word 'tragedy' is too rich. It spiced up Salieri's life, despite the emotional roller coaster. It's akin to Noel Redding (an ok guitarist who switched to bass) backing up genius Jimi Hendrix.
He did get lost for a moment but as a musician himself all he needed is some little direction and he went back on track. All of this film is one superb story. What's tragic is Mozart's very short life.
You know, I've been playing lead guitar in rock n roll bands for nearly 50 years yet can't read a lick of music but I found this post and how you sinc'd up the music with notation to be absolutely riveting! Seriously one of the coolest things I've seen on UA-cam!
Similar to me: I played my first bar gig, blues guitar (The Stumble, in A) at age 15, in Madrid Spain, 1967. Have been gigging ever since. ..... and we concur, that this scene in Amadeus is precious. The entire movie is great.
I did a few years of classical guitar years ago, but the beauty of this scene is that you don't need to know music theory to understand the genius taking place onscreen.
Wow. Watching this and seeing the notes glow as he composes it is great. The tail end when you play the music and show the whole score is just mind blowing. The overwhelming musical genius of Mozart to be able to compose such music leaves me at a loss for words.
This is by far the most extraordinary scene of music composition I have ever seen in a film. A wonderful masterpiece composed by this gifted musical genius that was Mozart. Whoever made this edition in this video it is absolutely brilliant, my deepest congratulations!! Goosebumps all over the body and soul!!
The hours of editing and work to make this masterpiece..in this new year my friend I say to you THANK YOU again ! and have an amazing 2025! SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA
As a pianist and a vocalist, I love watching this unfold. Do not ask me to understand a guitar or stringed instrument. I wish I could, but that's not how music comes to me. It's all vocals and piano in my mind.
I went to Performing Arts High School this was by far the best movement to perform in tuxedo at the galas along with the rest of the requiem...I will forever remember this time which made me love classical music and this movie also perfecto! Thank you
Questo è uno dei migliori esempi di come avvicinare il pubblico alla grande musica classica. Oltre alla grandiosità di questa complessa notazione musicale il filmato offre la comprensione di come possa svilupparsi l'ispirazione, in questa circostanza drammatica. Il video riesce anche a fra comprendere la "cultura" sottostante al pezzo musicale, il sentimento religioso, la sofferenza e l'amore caritatevole verso i defunti. Grazie Martin P
This is how the movie scene should’ve been done. That way you could see Mozart’s genius as well as hear it. This is just brilliant! He finally beginning to see Mozart’s mind.
They should release a special edition where they have the notes and effects from the video playing on the bottom of the screen during selected scenes like this.
@@Kriegsbeil5577 exactly like this. The CGI in this video would have been perfect for the movie. Although the CGI for Amadeus was done in 1982, I'm sure they could have conjured up something similar for the CGI technology of the time.
The most amazing screening of this film I have seen is in a symphony hall with a live orchestra playing the score in synchrony with the film. Absolutely marvelous.
I really love the part at 1:03. It shows what he has to build in his head, how complex it was to have it all work together, and why it was such an impressive genius.
This is a genius work. It simply shows the inside of Mozart's brain while processing music, and Salieri makes the printout. Very nice work Mr. Gonzalez. Bravo.
Unfortunately it doesn't because this is one of the sections of the Requiem which Mozart never got round to orchestrating because his death intervened! He wrote the choral parts of the movement but the orchestral accompaniment was only left in short score (two staves with no instrumentation). The instrumentation presented here was the work of his pupil Franz Xaver Sussmayr undertaken after Mozart's death, another composer, Eybler, having already produced another realisation which some (e.g. the musicologist Robbins Landon) consider much superior to this one. So a lot of artistic license was being taken in this scene in the film.
@@MrBulky992 right you are in all what you said but I'm not talking only about the requiem. In general that's happening in the brain of a composer while composing. 🙂
@@MrBulky992 Also, the Confutatis theme is not a Mozart original either; check out the Andante middle movement of Anfossi’s Sinfonia Venezia composed sixteen years earlier in 1775.
What’s so sad is how when Mozart asks Sallieri about an “eternal flame burning forever” being possible, he probably meant it as a wish for himself, since his health was deteriorating, wheras Sallieri’s response reflects his anguish towards Mozart and God, an eternal flame of jealousy and hatred.
This animation itself is a masterpiece in illustrating the thought process of creating music. There's a fine line between genius and insanity - you sir have snorted that line.
SIMPLY divine. Brought tears to my eyes. I love the tracking that you've used here. Mozart's greatest triumph spilled out of him as his body succumbed to the final illness. Fabulous.
There are many others geniuses that no one talks about, because they were not so famous at the time they were alive. I can name you 5 minds that makes Mozart look like a certain composer. Also nothing against Mozart, I adore his music and he is probably my favortie composer but definitly not the best.
What a fantastic way to break it down so one can recognize and appreciate the genius Mozart had in composing this opera. All these moving parts of voices and instruments that 6:13 weave in and out of each other to create this beautiful piece.
This is unbelievable. One of the best music videos I’ve seen. It gets across the complexity of what Mozart did to a non musical person like myself. Amazing. Thanks for posting.
This is like a portal into Wolfie’s mind. I think he saw his compositions unfold like this in his head and took it down as divine dictation. He didn’t just hear the music…he saw it. Probably smelled and tasted it, too. Too genius to stay long, but what output during his brief life. Amadeus is my favorite film and has been since I saw it in 1985.
He absolutely did. You can tell, because his scores are typically written with very little to no revisions/corrections/mistakes. Unlike Beethoven, who worked tirelessly with lots of sketches and musical ideas in notebooks and random scraps of paper, Mozart apparently wrote most of his music down in one go, which would suggest he really did envision the entire piece in his mind before he even picked up a quill.
Mozarts mind!, i can often feel his music. My assumption is Mozart had some addiction, and mental health issues,. And I can feel that dynamic, that power in his music as I'm a kindred spirt.
This is my favorite movie. The sound design is sooo perfect. Not just the soundtrack, but the small details such as the wooden floors creaking, the shifts in the chairs, it's all beautifully balanced in each scene to not distract from the story.
This is arguably one of the greatest music scenes in the history of film. Two top-level composers write a piece at lightning speed without offering any musical exposition or context to the audience. Viewers desperately try to keep up with Mozart's genius, to no avail...not even Salieri can keep up. Mozart is near death, but his entire existence is FOR and IS music. It's almost as if he's regurgitating it, his body trying so hard to get it out that nothing else matters, not even his health, or life. Salieri, the man who cursed Mozart's name and denied God due purely to Mozart's genius, cannot help but be amazed at the beauty in the music he is notating for his rival composer. It's really incredible, thank you so much for this video!
In retrospect, I think I was the only one in my high school class who listened to classical music. It's crazy but all these years later, I'm still learning from this scene.
the single most fascinating scene in the movie... and also my favorite. this was what that Oscar for Abraham... though I really wish Hulce would've been recognized too.
As a lifelong classical albeit non-degreed musician, I am in utter awe of this. "Amadeus" came out while I was in college, and groups of us in marching band/orchestra would carpool and hour each way to see if every weekend for like a month. To this day it's one of my all time favorite movies. But to see this visually, as it was being composed in the movie.....this is simply beautiful. This video is one of the most enchanting things I have ever seen online. I am so grateful to the person who put this video together. There should be another release of "Amadeus" with THIS added in to that scene. Amazing!!
Wow! Ingenious! What a great way to show those of us who do not read music, but who saw the movie, the inspiration and genius of Mozart with this magnificent work of art. Thoroughly enjoyed listening and watching the progression of the score in the individual parts and in the manifest harmony. With gratitude…
One of thee most outstanding of things I have ever seen on YT. Beautiful, yet terrifying to see. I feel as though I’ve witnessed something extraordinary. Thank you.
Only those with a sensitive soul, who love classical music, and appreciate the hardwork on getting a beautiful piece together.. came to search for Mozart's work. 😌
I saw the Atlanta symphony orchestra perform the entire requiem a few years back and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in person in my life. Gut-wrenching...
I like this scene because Salieri starts to get lost when Mozart tells him about Trumpets in D and Timpani, but then a few moments later he begins to understand what Mozart is doing. When he puts down the string part Salieri is right there with him saying "It's wonderful". But Mozart is already into putting down the soprano and alto parts with the strings in arpeggios and poor Salieri is struggling in writing down everything......fortunately he makes it.
Let’s just give mad crazy credits to the editor of this video! I just played this for my wonderful little girl, and she gained an appreciation for the amazing mind of Mozart! Wonderful video! Big ovations!
My favorite scene and dialog out of this whole movie. Will eventually sample part of it and use it for the beginning of one of my own songs. I really love that short exchange. It's brief but has so much depth.
This video is is literally addicting. I cant stop coming back to it. The way the audio and editing blends together is so damn good. Master class Of a movie but also a master class of editing right here
I don’t remember the sheet music from the movie, but this scene with Mozart and Salieri is the best example I ever saw with two musicians communicating music in a movie. This variation with the sheet music graphic makes the scene even better (for a musician). But perhaps too nerdy for a standard audience (?) I think it’s brilliant. Thank you so much.
One point about the movie that is often overlooked is that salieri is a master too. He is one of the few who immediately recognizes and appreciates Mozarts full genius. And what he does in this scene, writing down the exact notes based on Mozarts very compressed instructions is very hard technically.
I agree, hear Salieri's gasp of amazement at 4:49 when Mozart says "arpeggios". He immediately knew they were the perfect addition
It never happened like this!
"From now on, we are enemies - You and I. Because You choose for Your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation."
Salieri was a grand Master and it wouldn't be that difficult for anyone on his level to fully orchestrate based on that few instructions.
It was common for composers to write short hands and abbreviations and left the rest for the player or the maestro to complete.
@@dougmaus4468 nope that was a gasp as in “ur going too fast”

its like looking to the minds of the masters
@@YaNoAwantoMassomeone had to do it and this person did. S/he deserves credit for making such a creative edit to the original scene.

F. Murray Abraham
Completely agree
I loved f Murray Abraham in The Bridge of San Luis Rey and Three Days of Rain. A masterful actor.
He's a really wonderful actor. I loved him in The Grand Budapest Hotel, too. He's not in it much, but when he's on screen he steals the whole show.
It's bad both were nominated for best actor cause both gave Oscar deserving performances.

For all who dont know, a little funfact:

It fits the scene and looks like he is to ill to compose...however, to do this scene true to the music and the beat, Both Hulce (Mozart) and Abrams had earplugs to have the music in realtime. But at first Hulces earplugs didnt work, so he was waiting and Abrams asked him, not knowing...glad they kept it in, its fits brilliant to the scene.
Amazing. I always assumed the pause was due to A-minor being such a melancholy chord. This scene is a masterpiece. Holy shit.
Also when he says: "sotto voce", write it down! Didn't know about the ear plug, interesting, thank you
I didn’t know that! Awesome!

It always made me think of what Salieri said about Mozart when reading his scores of music when Costanza secretly brought them to him. "It was like he was taking dictation from god". In that moment he was pondering A minor, but really, he was waiting divine inspiration.
Let's not forget that Salieri was HIGHLY respected in his time, unlike what the movie portrays. He taught theory to Beethoven and Schubert as well.
the point most people ignore is that this is fiction. Peter Schafer just used Mozard and Salieri as tropes to portray his metaphorical conflict between genius and mediocrity. By no means was Salieri ever mediocre and Mozart the superhuman musical genius in an infantile pervy man. Also, I doubt Mozart laughed like a chicken!
That said, this movie is one of the best of all time.
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461he was quite "infantile and pervy" though😂
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461in letters, his laugh was described as "Infectiously giddy" or "metal scraping glass"
The movie does portray Salieri being highly respected in his time, remember how the emperor reacts to all of his operas positively, whereas he always has some complaint or another with mozart's, it does however show that by the time that Salieri died, his music wasn't remembered as well, which was absolutely true.
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 this movie's portrayal of mozart was pretty dead on historically, and i don't see a need to erase what you don't like about him. from his own letters to his family, he loved fart and shit jokes and as others have said, he had a cackling laugh. and i find that very endearing about him. and have you listened to salieri's music? i have and it's astounding how forgettable it is. to quote shakespeare, 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'
Whoever edited this originally with the score and highlighting the notes should get an award. If this had been in the original movie it would have elevated this scene ad infinitum.

@@Lil_Mozart_V I watched it as a kid and appreciated it back then. I appreciate it even more so now as an adult. I grew up learning classical instruments so maybe that was why it had such a profound effect on me.
I love the fact that Milos kept the technical hiccup @ 1:00 where Tom Hulce couldn't hear the lines in his earpiece and stuck on 'A minor' however F. Murray Abraham stayed in character and fed the lines back so Tom would remember. It looks this way as Wolfgang is just simply tired and Antonio is just enthusiastic. Brilliant move.
The way I interpreted it was that Wolfgang composed the entire movement in his head during the pause.

@@shadowmistress999 admittedly, a lot of what he does makes sense to trained musicians. It's just that realizing as you're looking at the music that everything makes perfect sense and fits is different than being able to write it yourself.

@@shadowmistress999 Yeah, I can imagine he wrote that in a very short amount of time. If the ideas are all there, he could create it, he was a genius.
Mozart is the music!
I love the subtext in this scene--this whole movie is soaked in it, really--but you can tell that Mozart is just as frustrated as Salieri. He can barely enunciate what's going on in his head because it's always been so natural and instinctual, and Salieri's frustration feeds on it, how he barely understands the process (still locked away as a mystery in Mozart's brain) but he fully understands the results. There's such an ebb and flow of excitement and frustration as they struggle to communicate in pace with genius. It amazes me how such an abstract and complicated concept of artistic intuition can be captured in the medium of cinema.
Great comment
I'm more impressed that they could make this scene in the movie and that the person who edited this video did such amazing visuals than I am with the fact that Mozart wrote this (which is also incredible). This is fantastic.

@ Motherland Mars… not to deny any God, yours or mine, if there is one composer that totally immerse himself in his music and true greatness of his genius created the music without the presence of any God, is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, read his many biographies, all state that he put church apart from his music.

As someone in their late 20’s who is just beginning to study music theory and has a tenuous grasp of notes themselves, I can honestly say it is nothing short of miraculous that someone was able come up with this on their own. Absolutely mind-blowing…

2024 and this is still by far, my favorite scene. Salieri can finally witness the genius Mozart was, and the acting was pitch perfect. Also, kudos to whoever included the notes and the animations.
Mine too. It is a deeply emotional piece and of course so sad, with some of the greatest music by the GREAT MOZART!
Great scene, even though it never happened. It seems Mozart and Salieri were actually good friends, not enemies. And it is another Austrian composer, Franz Xaver Süssmay, a student of Mozart, who became known as the one to have completed Mozart's Requiem Mass left unfinished at his death.
Stunning, just stunning!. The visualization ads an element for us non-musicians that brings home the complexity of the work. I saw this film with my Godmother on a trip to London in 1985 and then she took me to a performance of the Requiem at the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields! I can't help but think of her and that trip every time I hear this work. She passed a few years ago at 89... if I could make art like this, I would do it as my tribute to her memory and the brilliance of the music that brought us together.
What a lovely memory.
Your Godmother has great taste!
In real history, it was actually one of his pupils, Franz Sussmayr sitting next to him, assisting the composition at that time. Although it probably wasn't as dramatic as the movie, I would like to believe that it must have been nights filled with flaming passion, burning his last remaining life into the music.
I had watched a video about Hayden and it was mentioned that Salieri conducted Mozart's requiem for Frans Joseph funeral

Franz Sussamyr his he's son
@@JamesMecs Mozart yongest son's name was also Franz. Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart. It is known that Mozart named his son after his pupil, Sussmayr. Franz Sussmayr was one of his pupils and he is the one who finished the Requiem - especially Sanctus-Benedictus & Agnus Dei is his sole composition but it's believed that he did so by referencing many of Mozart work and instruction he left.
Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart also led his life as a composer but unfortunately, he wasn't as successful as his father. His work remained in the frame of classical age but the trend in his time already transitioned to Romantic age.

One of the most powerful scenes in movie history! It's intense profoundity shakes every nerve ! Accompanied by the genius of Mozarts music the magnificence is beyond mere words.
Totally agree. Tom Hulce off the scale. Pity they couldn't have 2 best actor Oscars for this exceptional piece of culture. It's not just spectacular cinema and music, it's an epic human conflict story to rival any classic one can choose. Adore this entire movie for a myriad reasons. 💖

Salieri gives this little smile at 3:30, and I can't help but think that 1) he thinks his plan is starting to really come together and 2) he is finally able to observe Motzart's genius up close and personal. Excellent acting job by both of these gentlemen.
This is my favorite part of the whole movie. Displays Mozart's mavelous musical skills and Salieri's respects and total admiration for Mozart even though he was helping him to compuse the music for his funeral.
The fictive story of this relation between Mozart and Salieri is used to demonstrate the hatred and jealousy of the mediocre against the ingenious, which is seen as a fundamental truth of human behaviour by the author Peter Schaffer.
My Godness!!!! Whoever took the time to do this is a freaking genius, the coordination movie-music sheet is astonishing, even highlighted the pace, instruments and notes with a perfect timing, thank you a bunch, your effort was so worth it and it is appreciated.
I wish I'd had this when I was studying music. I am a visual thinker but a sound performer. Musical notation always confused me, but this is marvelous. It combines what enters through the ear with the notation in real time. Thank you.

Exactly what I was thinking! Incredible editing!!
@@carolynzaremba5469 Same. The notation didn't confuse me, really. The issues I had were how to know exactly which notes harmonize well with others. Once I saw the score here, it made so much more sense. Plus my ear isn't perfect either.

"It's wonderful!"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, go on."
That always cracks me up. But also so in character for both characters.
There is a respect here. A deep, forged respect. You could spend the entire film viewing these two as bitter foes, but in this one scene they are united in the service of genius. Excellent.
Great comment!
irl they respected each other and hadnt any type of animosity. maybe salieri even respected mozart more than mozart respected salieri, as in one letter to his father mozart talks shit abt the italians
There is so much irony in this scene. Salieri wanted nothing more than to be an instrument of God for music, and by helping Mozart, he became that instrument but not in the way he had imagined or wanted.
They were neither bitter foes in life nor in this film. Salière is portrayed as jealous of Mozart and spiteful that God gave genius to vulgar Mozart rather than to fully competent him.
@@dolinaj1 film isnt really supposed to be accurate its based on a book which just uses the characters to show what jealously can do also its just in saleris head and not what he outright shown

As a good musician without insane talent like Mozart, Salieri actually did a fine job following Mozart without getting lost. What a tragedy to live under the shadow of such a shining talent. Beautiful music and terrific work putting this video together. It feels like getting into the mind of Mozart!
This story is fictional don't be so gullible
Salieri does an amazing job following Mozart in this scene. Even for a world-class musician like Salieri, he would definitely have some difficulty following Mozart's staccato-like demands but in the end be able to write the composition accurately once he understands the entire part.
I think your word 'tragedy' is too rich. It spiced up Salieri's life, despite the emotional roller coaster. It's akin to Noel Redding (an ok guitarist who switched to bass) backing up genius Jimi Hendrix.
He did get lost for a moment but as a musician himself all he needed is some little direction and he went back on track.
All of this film is one superb story. What's tragic is Mozart's very short life.
@@stellviahohenheim chill out angry boy

Wow. Watching this and seeing the notes glow as he composes it is great. The tail end when you play the music and show the whole score is just mind blowing. The overwhelming musical genius of Mozart to be able to compose such music leaves me at a loss for words.

One of the best movie scenes on classic music ever made. A gift to humanity.
Wow! The editing is unreal, such a cool visual to add to an all time great scene in cinema history
This video is soooo great. I appreciate every single second of it. The effort, man!
This is a genius work. It simply shows the inside of Mozart's brain while processing music, and Salieri makes the printout. Very nice work Mr. Gonzalez. Bravo.
This is a fictional story
Unfortunately it doesn't because this is one of the sections of the Requiem which Mozart never got round to orchestrating because his death intervened!
He wrote the choral parts of the movement but the orchestral accompaniment was only left in short score (two staves with no instrumentation).
The instrumentation presented here was the work of his pupil Franz Xaver Sussmayr undertaken after Mozart's death, another composer, Eybler, having already produced another realisation which some (e.g. the musicologist Robbins Landon) consider much superior to this one.
So a lot of artistic license was being taken in this scene in the film.
@@MrBulky992 right you are in all what you said but I'm not talking only about the requiem. In general that's happening in the brain of a composer while composing. 🙂
@@MrBulky992
Also, the Confutatis theme is not a Mozart original either; check out the Andante middle movement of Anfossi’s Sinfonia Venezia composed sixteen years earlier in 1775.
What’s so sad is how when Mozart asks Sallieri about an “eternal flame burning forever” being possible, he probably meant it as a wish for himself, since his health was deteriorating, wheras Sallieri’s response reflects his anguish towards Mozart and God, an eternal flame of jealousy and hatred.
To whoever made this, you are brilliant. You took a great scene and improved on it. If this movie was made today it would look like this. Thank you

There are many others geniuses that no one talks about, because they were not so famous at the time they were alive. I can name you 5 minds that makes Mozart look like a certain composer. Also nothing against Mozart, I adore his music and he is probably my favortie composer but definitly not the best.
@@PenanuloWho are the 5 minds? I just want to learn about them.
What a fantastic way to break it down so one can recognize and appreciate the genius Mozart had in composing this opera. All these moving parts of voices and instruments that 6:13 weave in and out of each other to create this beautiful piece.
This is unbelievable. One of the best music videos I’ve seen. It gets across the complexity of what Mozart did to a non musical person like myself. Amazing. Thanks for posting.
This is like a portal into Wolfie’s mind. I think he saw his compositions unfold like this in his head and took it down as divine dictation. He didn’t just hear the music…he saw it. Probably smelled and tasted it, too. Too genius to stay long, but what output during his brief life. Amadeus is my favorite film and has been since I saw it in 1985.
Jesus аnswered, “I аm the wаy аnd the truth аnd the life. Nо оne cоmes tо the Fаther except thrоugh me. John 14:6 ⭐✝
He absolutely did. You can tell, because his scores are typically written with very little to no revisions/corrections/mistakes. Unlike Beethoven, who worked tirelessly with lots of sketches and musical ideas in notebooks and random scraps of paper, Mozart apparently wrote most of his music down in one go, which would suggest he really did envision the entire piece in his mind before he even picked up a quill.
Mozarts mind!, i can often feel his music. My assumption is Mozart had some addiction, and mental health issues,. And I can feel that dynamic, that power in his music as I'm a kindred spirt.
Did… you just call him Wolfie? /j
@@jxff2000 Yes, why not? I believe that was the nickname used by his friends and family. I’m neither but Wolfgang is so formal.
This is my favorite movie. The sound design is sooo perfect. Not just the soundtrack, but the small details such as the wooden floors creaking, the shifts in the chairs, it's all beautifully balanced in each scene to not distract from the story.
This is arguably one of the greatest music scenes in the history of film.
Two top-level composers write a piece at lightning speed without offering any musical exposition or context to the audience. Viewers desperately try to keep up with Mozart's genius, to no avail...not even Salieri can keep up.
Mozart is near death, but his entire existence is FOR and IS music. It's almost as if he's regurgitating it, his body trying so hard to get it out that nothing else matters, not even his health, or life.
Salieri, the man who cursed Mozart's name and denied God due purely to Mozart's genius, cannot help but be amazed at the beauty in the music he is notating for his rival composer.
It's really incredible, thank you so much for this video!
In retrospect, I think I was the only one in my high school class who listened to classical music. It's crazy but all these years later, I'm still learning from this scene.
the single most fascinating scene in the movie... and also my favorite. this was what that Oscar for Abraham... though I really wish Hulce would've been recognized too.
This has become my new favorite score scrolling animation of Requiem's Confutatis scene in Amadeus. Bravo! Well done!
Brillante, amazing.
Simplemente gracias...
As a lifelong classical albeit non-degreed musician, I am in utter awe of this. "Amadeus" came out while I was in college, and groups of us in marching band/orchestra would carpool and hour each way to see if every weekend for like a month. To this day it's one of my all time favorite movies. But to see this visually, as it was being composed in the movie.....this is simply beautiful. This video is one of the most enchanting things I have ever seen online. I am so grateful to the person who put this video together. There should be another release of "Amadeus" with THIS added in to that scene. Amazing!!
That's a lot of work to prepare!!! You are awesome!!
One of my favourite scenes from one of my favourite films.
Wow! Ingenious! What a great way to show those of us who do not read music, but who saw the movie, the inspiration and genius of Mozart with this magnificent work of art. Thoroughly enjoyed listening and watching the progression of the score in the individual parts and in the manifest harmony. With gratitude…
Confutatis is an absolute miraculous work of perfection; gods’ gift of music, through Amadeus Mozart.
One of thee most outstanding of things I have ever seen on YT. Beautiful, yet terrifying to see.
I feel as though I’ve witnessed something extraordinary. Thank you.
Only those with a sensitive soul, who love classical music, and appreciate the hardwork on getting a beautiful piece together.. came to search for Mozart's work. 😌
I saw the Atlanta symphony orchestra perform the entire requiem a few years back and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in person in my life. Gut-wrenching...
I like this scene because Salieri starts to get lost when Mozart tells him about Trumpets in D and Timpani, but then a few moments later he begins to understand what Mozart is doing. When he puts down the string part Salieri is right there with him saying "It's wonderful". But Mozart is already into putting down the soprano and alto parts with the strings in arpeggios and poor Salieri is struggling in writing down everything......fortunately he makes it.
Let’s just give mad crazy credits to the editor of this video! I just played this for my wonderful little girl, and she gained an appreciation for the amazing mind of Mozart! Wonderful video! Big ovations!
I'm not even embarrassed about how many times I have watched this clip.
My favorite scene and dialog out of this whole movie. Will eventually sample part of it and use it for the beginning of one of my own songs. I really love that short exchange. It's brief but has so much depth.
What you have done here means more to me than you can know. This is just... brilliant. Thank you.
Truly anmazing what you do here. Magical! And also one can see and hear what a great performance of Tom Hulce (Mozart) it is!
This video is is literally addicting. I cant stop coming back to it. The way the audio and editing blends together is so damn good. Master class Of a movie but also a master class of editing right here
I don’t remember the sheet music from the movie, but this scene with Mozart and Salieri is the best example I ever saw with two musicians communicating music in a movie.
This variation with the sheet music graphic makes the scene even better (for a musician). But perhaps too nerdy for a standard audience (?)
I think it’s brilliant. Thank you so much.
According to rumour, Tom Hulce deliberately omitted the odd word, so that F Murray Abraham would appear more confused.
Personally I don’t think it would be too nerdy for a standard audience. I found it very informative and educational
I don't understand a thing, but the scene is magic! Marvelous 🙂
no it’s organismic for a old timer
G'day, ThomasJLarsen! The sheet music wasn't in the film.
Magical. I love Mozart so much. Thank you for this!!!
