If there's one thing (of many of course) this brilliant masterpiece is right on is the whole competition between natural born talent vs that of hard work and dedication we musicians in the real world face
@@davidmccourt6139holy fuck, acting in a film? Are you mad? I'm pretty sure the director just saw them all larking about in silly costumes for fun and just secretly started rolling. My god, if you were to believe every TH-cam comment these days you'd have to believe nothing in the history of cinema was ever committed to page.
This movie has many problematic biographical issues. Salieri wasn't that bad described in the movie, and it never existed this competition, either jealousy from Salieri to Mozart.
Everyone remembers F.Murray Abraham's win for Amadeus. But Tom Hulce did such a great job in his performance. It's one of the few times in cinema history that two actors were nominated for the same category (in this case ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE). It's happened maybe ten times in total over 100 years but don't quote me on that.
Hulce DEFINITELY should have won. Abraham's "win" was a joke. His shamelessly exaggerated MUGGING in tight closeup was an embarrassment to the acting profession. Apparently audiences are so dense they need to have it pushed right in their faces in great big letters: "SALIERI SUSPICIOUS!! SALIERI EMBARRASSED!! SALIERI UNCOMFORTABLE!! And the dumbass "Academy" voters think subtlety would be wasted on U.S. audiences. How insulting -- but it might be true.
this is a really great way of showing development of a musical idea though. basic quarter note melody that creates a shape and sets the pitch directions, sort of like an outline. then developing that one rhythmic motif into more places in the melody. then adding embellishments and developing a more interesting left hand, etc. it's a good lesson in how you dont need to write a perfect melody/piece immediately -- you have to workshop and develop basic ideas. good to start with simple primitives to make sure the base function is there first
The Am chord is a bit strange in this simple melody with C and G7 chords. I wasn't amazed that Mozart dropped the Am chord in his proposals. Instead he added the F chord further in the melody instead, which is nicer to listen to. In modern melodies the Am chord is more usual, I think, but no in the classical music in that era.
@@HANSMKAMP It's not that the Am chord is unusual but the context its in. It would more typicaly be used as a predominant chord, or in a deceptive cadence. Here it just goes from C to Am straight back to C again.
"Amadeus" is historical fiction, meaning parts of the plot are based on historical record and other parts are made up. In the movie he is made out to be a man-child, clown, or misfit. Actually, he moved in the highest social strata and had since he was a child. There is an account of Mozart and his wife taking a stroll in a public square and encountering the emperor, who was also out walking. It seems they had a pleasant conversation before going on their way. Nevertheless, Mozart did have an immature side. The scatalogical humor one finds in his letters was shared by the rest of his family, and surely they were not the only people who liked jokes that were vulgar if not obscene. My opinion is that the culture of Vienna at that time was fairly relaxed, or the oposite of uptight.
It’s funny after watching that in S697 (Fantasie über Themen aus Mozarts Figaro und Don Giovanni) Liszt does the same thing, but in typical Liszt fashion it’s about 100x harder. Makes me wonder if Mozart would have liked it. Apparently Chopin also rewrote some Bach transcriptions for Piano complete with his own dynamics
Perhaps, this scene is a fantasy of the script writer of the film. If so, I wonder whether this march (used in the film) was invented by Salieri or Mozart originally, or both in collaboration, or, maybe, some other composer.
what mozart was doing it was sacrilegious during that time (as per Twoset term) :D look at how people are trying to eavesdrop the music they heard because it felt new and different it wasn't because it was just great, but it was just different from what they often hear during that era
Exactly, I play piano, and I've played quite a bit of Mozart. All you need is a pretty sounding melody, add an Alberti bass, and voila, you have a Mozart-sounding piece.
Entertaining but 100% Hollywood nonsense. Mozart and Salieri never met on this level, and this piece never existed until Hollywood made it. If anything Mozart knew of Salieri, attended some of his operas, and Salieri knew of Mozart and attended some of his operas - but the two never interacted directly. Amadeus is a disgrace and should not be considered accurate in any regard. But...entertaining.
Although this movie is clearly fiction, Mozart and Salieri did have a relationship, mostly professional, but the two definitely knew of each other. Also the music in the scene is based on a Mozart piece from the Marriage of Figaro: Non più andrai farfallone amoroso.
Hi I’m Tarun here I’m a composer and I love music posting content like these and analysis on TH-cam I love your content It will be great if we can collaborate
Salieri’s music is still played today. The “welcome march” wasn’t actually written by the real Salieri-the film producers had one of real Mozart’s pieces from “The Marriage of Figaro” arranged into a really simple march so that then film Mozart could improvise.
This movie doesn't replicate accurately 18th century music. That score is "empty" because the musician had to improvise, upon the "skeleton", with embellished notes, diminutions and so on.
The melody is really at a low level. But Mozarts ornaments don't make it really better. In my opinion he is overrated like nearly everyone, who is widely popular.
@MilkPlus could be. But beside of his Requiem I can't see why he was considered as a genius. Always the same accords and the same structure of melodies and endings. The classic epoch in general was a regression after composers like Bach, who were much more progressive than composers like Mozart or Haydn.
"The rest is just the same, isn't it?"
Saleri stopped smiling then
Yes, until September 2024 when one of his work is found for the first time ever.
개열받넼ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
better？
"That doesn't really work, does it? > x D
1:44 laughs in tune
On the rest huh 😂
More like on beat
The "yes" is also in time : D
I love the shot of the religious men quietly seeking a listen to something extraordinary.
Salieri: Squidward's Clarinet
Mozart: Spongebob with a piece of paper
beethoven: mr krabs
Squidward is litteraly the first thing that came into my mind after watching the ending😂
If there's one thing (of many of course) this brilliant masterpiece is right on is the whole competition between natural born talent vs that of hard work and dedication we musicians in the real world face
mozart absolutely worked harder than other composers. he wrote about the same number of pieces as Salieri while living for less than half as long
Mozart's last giggle was not scripted. At the end of the scene, watch the emperor's hands.
LOL hahahaha
Or it may be, bear with me here, that he was acting
Yes, I know !
I'm pretty sure it was still scripted.

Bravo/Brava! Funny how Mozart asks if the rest is just the same without ever hearing what comes after the first section.
The emperor was actually a much better musician in real life than how he's portrayed in the movie.

@@millennial8441Hollytrash can't make a historical movie without adding fake drama.
So was Salieri :-)

Have to agree with Wolfie Boi. That melody leap from C to E in bar 6 was pretty crappy, especially with that weak harmonic support.

Wish more people would understand that it is.
The laughs should be in the score!
Honestly it's some good sight reading by The Emperor.
Buddy, you went from like 10 to almost 6k views on 1 video in less than a day the growth is insane
Thanks!!!
Nice! At 1:33 I hear three C octaves in the left hand (high, low, low), only the right hand plays the sixteenth notes.
I agree with what's written.

Of course he just goes into marriage of figaro lol
I read some of his letters and Mozart is more like in the film than you would think, it isn't that much of a caricature
Mozart hadn't a regular childhood. Thus he was a silly adult man.

Here after Mozart dropped his latest single.
Live Salieri reaction:
❤❤❤
Is this a reupload or am I going crazy
This is my own transcription, I made it easier to read since the other ones I found looked more complicated, lol
Yes and yes.
“Thank you Senoire” 😏
When the emperor is playing a song your compose at the piano and he like its !!!
And then this became an aria in the Nozze di Figaro
Perhaps, this scene is a fantasy of the script writer of the film.
If so, I wonder whether this march (used in the film) was invented by Salieri or Mozart originally, or both in collaboration, or, maybe, some other composer.
the "improvisation" that mozart does here is actually from his aria from the magic flute
And now... Dude is back again with his new album 😅😂
Yeah, a great EP called "Here we go again A.K.A KV 648" released last month and made up of seven tracks. It's a global hit, a smash!
what mozart was doing it was sacrilegious during that time (as per Twoset term) :D
look at how people are trying to eavesdrop the music they heard because it felt new and different
it wasn't because it was just great, but it was just different from what they often hear during that era
O áudio é de um piano, porém vejam que ele está tocando num cravo, cujo som é bem diferente...
It's probably an earlier version of the piano that just seems to look like a harpischord. The playing is indeed real.
하프시코드 아니에요.
저건 포르테 피아노.
Esse filme é a prova de QUE A INVEJA MATA MESMO.
He destroyed him!
When jazz was in a major key...
Nice
I didn’t fine either the Salieri piece or Mozart piece impressive at all!
If you play a lot of Mozart, it's actually not hard to improvise like this.
Exactly, I play piano, and I've played quite a bit of Mozart. All you need is a pretty sounding melody, add an Alberti bass, and voila, you have a Mozart-sounding piece.
I truly believe Mozart and Carl Stalling would've hit it off together nicely. (Stalling orchestrated the Warner Bros cartoons).
Atp Mozart was just playing with Salieri like a cat and mouse
Salieri passou a noite inteira compondo, e Mozart levou 1 minuto pra fazer o primeiro REMIX da história 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
The problem with this movie is portraying Mozart too flamboyant
Non piu andrai
Esta película muestra la decadencia de Hollywood y sus directores Idiotas.

Great movie, but Mozart's music needs no propaganda.

Mozartvis so talent that it often made salieri to jealous of him
No it didn't. This film is very inaccurate

okay michael
Where's the rest of that other guy's wig? Oh I see Mozart took that as well
