Now, Mozart sitting down and doing something like that to music by Salieri WAS plausible-he did do stuff like that. The opera being discussed in the clip is "The Abduction From the Seraglio", the opera which was Mozart's first big hit in Vienna, written for the Emperor's then newly founded German-language theatre. That's sometimes how genius is personified. Mozart WAS a very cheeky, almost obnoxious little brat-his upbringing saw to that-and he was super-confident of his abilities. The clip Dan chose IS actually very much rooted in fact. And there are places in the film where this is heart-stoppingly, beautifully apparent. Both were created with obvious love for the man and his music. It what I call "Variations on the Theme of Mozart's Life". Yes, both play and film do play very loose with the actual facts, BUT that was not their purpose.
That being said, I could always the Shaffer play and Forman film for what it was. I've also spent my live studying and sucking up every book available on this remarkable person. Ah.divine Mozart.the #1 god in my panoply of musical "gods".īelow is offered solely as an addendum for folks who might be inclined to further pursue the subject.Īs someone who has spent their life surrounded by classical music and privileged beyond measure to perform it professionally, Mozart's music has always been the top of my list.
