This romantic recreation of Mozart’s life is quite wrong in several ways. But many have taken it for granted, including myself. However after some research out of great curiosity, I’ve proved myself wrong.

The first and possibly the most apparent myth is that Antonio Salieri killed Mozart. But first of all there are several reasons why Salieri is portrayed this way. Mozart’s death was extreme sudden and unexpected one, which at that time no one knew the actual cause. Also Mozart believed that someone was poisoning him with the mysterious appearance of an anonymous “man in grey” commissioning him for a “Mass for the Dead.” Finally, Salieri had indeed confessed to murdering Mozart.

Indeed, Mozart was one of the composers who had to "follow in his footsteps” in this area. In other words, Mozart could had been the one who was jealous of Salieri’s wonderful reputation with Joseph II of Austria in the court and the public. It was known that Mozart was mad that he didn’t get selected to be Princess of Württemberg’s piano teacher but Salieri did. Also, Mozart believed that "Salieri and his tribe will move heaven and earth to put it [Figaro] down.” But in reality, Salieri was busy in France with his own operas.

In way, the movie not only perpetuates Mozart’s genius but also his effortless job with composition. But this quote certainly proves it wrong. “People make a mistake who think my art has come easily to me. Nobody has devoted so much time and thought to composition as I. There is not a famous master whose music I ha
