_{4/? films - Amadeus (1984)}

_{“But they showed no corrections of any kind. Not one. He had simply written down music already finished in his head. Page after page of it as if he were just taking dictation. And music, finished as no music is ever finished. Displace one note and there would be diminishment. Displace one phrase and the structure would fall.”}

Just one little rant. I hate this notion that the music world has that Mozart never sketched or anything, that he just sort of wrote music perfectly the first time, because it’s most likely not true. Remember how Brahms threw all his old pieces in the fire where nobody could ever see any works he didn’t deem acceptable? There’s no reason for us to believe Mozart couldn’t have done the same thing. And if you ask any composer ever, none of them are going to tell you that they don’t sketch or revise. That’s not how the process works. da Vinci even sketched. It doesn’t negate his genius that he didn’t spit out perfect music the first time. It makes him a human. Rant over.

Price, I 100% agree with you but I don’t necessarily think Peter Shaffer bought into that idea. I think it’s important for Salieri (the fictional character in this piece) to see Mozart that way, to fuel his distorted ideas. Most people who watch this movie probably don’t know it’s highly fictionalized or question Salieri’s validity as a narrator, though.

(still one of my favorite movies evarrrr tho)
