"You know how hard I’ve worked! – solely in the end, in the practice of the art which alone makes the world comprehensible to me, I might hear Your Voice! And now I do hear it, and it says only one name: MOZART!"
Legnago, Republic of Venice 1764. A young Antonio Salieri makes a pact with God: Let me be a composer - touch me with genius and I will dedicate my life to you. My music will glorify your name and I will live with virtue all my life. But 16 years later his dream lies in ruins. A new upstart rival is in the ascendance and clearly has God’s backing. This is no ordinary jealousy: this is war, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is the battleground.
Peter Shaffer’s 1979 masterpiece, Amadeus.
