'Mozart!'

0:00:220:00:24

'Mozart!'

0:00:310:00:33

'Your killer confesses.'

0:00:360:00:37

'I confess! I killed you!'

0:00:370:00:41

'I killed you, Mozart!'

0:00:410:00:44

'Pieta! Mozart, pieta! Forgive your assassin!'

0:00:470:00:52

'Forgive me, Mozart!'

0:00:520:00:55

Signor Salieri, open the door. Be good now.

0:00:570:01:00

Signore, I have something for you.

0:01:000:01:04

Something you're going to love!

0:01:040:01:06

Mmmm, is that good!

0:01:100:01:13

Believe me, > this is the most delicious thing I ever ate in my life!

0:01:130:01:21

-Really, Signore, you don't...

-A-A-A-A-HHHH!

-HEAVY THUD

0:01:210:01:27

All right, that's enough! Open the door!

0:01:310:01:35

Signore, if you don't open the door, we're going to eat everything and leave nothing for you!

0:01:370:01:44

And I'll never come and see you again!

< Good morning, Father.

0:04:380:04:41

HESITANT FORTEPIANO PLAYING >

0:04:490:04:52

Herr Salieri?

0:05:080:05:11

Leave me alone.

0:05:440:05:46

I cannot leave alone a soul in pain.

0:05:490:05:54

Do you know who I am?

0:05:550:05:58

That makes no difference. All men are equal in God's eyes.

0:05:590:06:05

-Are they(?)

-Make your confession.

0:06:100:06:14

I can offer you God's forgiveness.

0:06:180:06:21

How well are you trained in music?

0:06:250:06:28

I know a little. I studied it in my youth.

0:06:310:06:35

-Oh, where?

-Here in Vienna.

0:06:350:06:38

Ah! Then you must know this...

0:06:380:06:41

PLAYS A MELODY LINE

0:06:410:06:45

I can't say that I do.

0:06:490:06:52

-What is it?

-It was a very popular tune in its day!

0:06:530:06:58

I wrote it.

0:06:580:07:00

Here. How about this...?

0:07:020:07:05

It brought down the house when we played it first.

0:07:050:07:09

TUMULTUOUS APPLAUSE AND CRIES OF 'BRAVO'

0:07:410:07:46

Well?

0:07:540:07:55

-I regret it is not too familiar.

-Can you recall no melody of mine?

0:07:580:08:05

I was the most famous composer in Europe! I wrote 40 operas alone!

0:08:050:08:11

Here... What about this one...?

0:08:120:08:16

PLAYS 'EINE KLEINE NACHTMUSIK'

0:08:180:08:21

PRIEST CONTINUES THE TUNE

0:08:210:08:24

Yes! I know that!

0:08:320:08:34

It's charming! I didn't know you wrote it.

0:08:340:08:38

I didn't.

0:08:400:08:42

THAT was Mozart.

0:08:480:08:51

Wolfgang...Amadeus...Mozart.

0:08:530:08:58

The man you say you killed.

0:09:000:09:03

-You've heard that?

-Is it true?

0:09:050:09:10

For God's sake, my son... if you HAVE something to confess,

0:09:190:09:26

do it now!

0:09:260:09:29

Give yourself some peace.

0:09:290:09:32

He...was my idol!

0:09:360:09:41

'KLAVIERSTUCK' BY MOZART, AGED TEN

0:09:410:09:43

Mozart... I can't think of a time when I didn't know his name!

0:09:450:09:50

I was still playing childish games,

0:09:500:09:54

when he was playing music for kings and emperors, even the Pope in Rome!

0:09:540:10:02

I admit, I was jealous

0:10:020:10:05

when I heard the tales they told about him.

0:10:050:10:09

Not of the brilliant prodigy, but of his father who had taught him EVERYTHING!

0:10:090:10:16

MY father did not care for music.

0:10:160:10:19

When I told him I wished I could be like Mozart,

0:10:190:10:24

he would say, "Why? Do you want to be a trained monkey?

0:10:240:10:29

"Would you like me to drag you around Europe doing tricks?"

0:10:290:10:34

How could I tell HIM what music meant to me?

0:10:370:10:43

PERGOLESI'S STABAT MATER

0:10:450:10:48

While my father prayed earnestly to God to protect commerce...

0:10:570:11:02

..I would offer up, secretly, the proudest prayer a boy could think of -

0:11:040:11:11

"Lord, make me a great composer.

0:11:120:11:15

"Let me celebrate Your glory through music... and be celebrated myself.

0:11:150:11:21

"Make me famous through the world, dear God. Make me immortal!

0:11:230:11:28

"After I die, let people speak my name forever with love for what I wrote.

0:11:280:11:35

"In return... I will give You my chastity,

0:11:370:11:43

"and my industry.

0:11:430:11:46

"My deepest humility every hour of my life.

0:11:470:11:52

"Amen."

0:11:530:11:54

And do you know what happened? A miracle!

0:11:550:12:00

< CHOKING SOUNDS

0:12:000:12:03

FRANCESCO!

0:12:070:12:09

# Amen, amen, amen. Amen, amen. #

0:12:110:12:16

My life changed forever.

0:12:160:12:20

I knew God had obviously arranged it all.

0:12:210:12:26

One minute I was a frustrated boy in an obscure little town

0:12:260:12:31

and the next I was here! Vienna! City of musicians...

0:12:310:12:36

..and Emperor Joseph, the musical king!

0:12:360:12:40

In a few years, I was his court composer. Isn't that incredible?

0:12:400:12:46

Night after night, I sat next to the Austrian Emperor, playing duets and correcting his sight-reading.

0:12:460:12:54

Actually, the man had no ear at all.

0:12:560:12:59

But what did it matter?

0:13:010:13:03

He adored my music!

0:13:030:13:06

Tell me.

0:13:070:13:09

If you had been me,

0:13:090:13:12

wouldn't you have thought God had accepted your vow?

0:13:120:13:15

And believe me, I honoured it.

0:13:190:13:21

I was a model of virtue.

0:13:210:13:23

I kept my hands off women.

0:13:230:13:25

I worked hours every day teaching students,

0:13:250:13:28

many of them for free.

0:13:280:13:30

Sitting on endless committees to help poor musicians.

0:13:300:13:35

Work and work and work - that was all my life.

0:13:350:13:39

And it was wonderful.

0:13:390:13:41

Everybody liked me.

0:13:410:13:44

I liked myself.

0:13:440:13:47

Until he came.

0:13:500:13:52

He came to Vienna to play some of his music

0:13:540:13:59

at the residence of his employer, the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg.

0:13:590:14:04

EARLY 18TH CENTURY GYPSY MUSIC

0:14:040:14:07

Eagerly I went to seek him out.

0:14:070:14:10

That night...

0:14:120:14:14

..changed my life.

0:14:160:14:18

As I wandered through the salon I played a little game with myself.

0:14:220:14:28

This man wrote his first concerto at four,

0:14:280:14:31

his first symphony at seven,

0:14:310:14:34

a full-scale opera at 12!

0:14:340:14:37

Did it show?

0:14:370:14:40

Is talent like THAT written on the face?

0:14:410:14:46

Which one of them could he be?

0:14:490:14:53

SCREAM

0:14:550:14:57

YELPS AND GIGGLES

SCREAM

0:16:300:16:32

HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER

0:16:320:16:35

Mozart is not here.

0:16:520:16:55

-Stop it!

-I am stopped!

-STOP IT!

0:16:590:17:02

-I am!

-STOP IT!

-I am stopping.

0:17:020:17:05

Slowly... There. You see?

0:17:050:17:09

I've stopped.

0:17:090:17:12

-We're going back.

-No!

-Yes! You don't know where you are.

0:17:120:17:17

Here everything goes backwards.

0:17:170:17:19

People walk and dance backwards.

0:17:190:17:23

-They even talk backwards!

-That's stupid!

0:17:230:17:27

Why? People fart backwards!

0:17:270:17:29

HE GIVES A HIGH PITCHED BRAY

0:17:290:17:33

-Ssa ym ssik.

-Yes, you are sick!

0:17:330:17:38

-No! Say it backwards, shit-wit!

-Ssa ym ssik?

-Ssa ym ssik.

0:17:380:17:43

Ssik - kiss...ym - my...

0:17:430:17:48

Ssa... Kiss my ass!

0:17:480:17:52

Em yrram!

0:17:520:17:54

-No! I'm not playing!

-It's serious. Say it and see.

0:17:540:17:59

Yrram - marry, em - me. Marry me.

0:18:020:18:06

No, I'm not going to marry you! You're a fiend!

0:18:060:18:10

-Uoy evol I tub! Uoy evol I tub!

-Tub - but...

0:18:100:18:16

..I... evol - love...

0:18:160:18:20

-But I love you?

-(I love you.)

0:18:200:18:25

-Tish ym tea.

-What?

-Tish ym tea.

0:18:310:18:34

Tish...ym...tea...

0:18:340:18:37

Tea - eat...

0:18:370:18:40

..ym - my...

0:18:400:18:43

..tish...

0:18:440:18:46

Eat my shit! YOU FILTHY BEAST!

0:18:460:18:50

-MUSIC HEARD FAINTLY

-Ssh!

0:18:500:18:55

My music!

0:18:550:18:57

They've started without me!

0:18:590:19:02

MOZART: SERENADE FOR WINDS

0:19:020:19:05

THAT was Mozart!

0:20:110:20:14

THAT... That giggling, dirty-minded creature I had just seen crawling on the floor!

0:20:140:20:21

I think that went off remarkably well, don't you?

0:20:210:20:26

The Viennese certainly know good music!

0:20:260:20:30

Your Grace.

0:20:310:20:33

Ah, Mozart.

0:20:340:20:37

-< Why?

-Why what, sir?

0:20:400:20:43

Why was I humiliated in front of my guests by one of my servants?

0:20:430:20:48

The more licence I allow you, the more you take!

0:20:480:20:52

If His Grace isn't satisfied, he can dismiss me.

0:20:520:20:57

-I wish you to return immediately to Salzburg. Your father is waiting for you there.

-No, Your Grace.

0:20:570:21:05

I'd prefer you dismissed me. I obviously don't satisfy.

0:21:050:21:10

I do not intend to dismiss you. You will remain in my service and learn your place.

0:21:100:21:17

APPRECIATIVE APPLAUSE

0:21:240:21:27

On the page it looked...nothing!

0:21:530:21:57

The beginning simple, almost comic.

0:21:570:22:00

Just a pulse...bassoons, basset horns...

0:22:000:22:07

like a rusty squeeze-box.

0:22:070:22:10

And then...

0:22:120:22:15

..suddenly, high above it... an oboe!

0:22:150:22:21

A single note, hanging there, unwavering.

0:22:240:22:28

Until...a clarinet took it over...

0:22:290:22:34

..and sweetened it into a phrase of SUCH delight!

0:22:360:22:41

This was no composition by a performing monkey.

0:22:420:22:48

This was a music I had never heard!

0:22:510:22:54

Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing!

0:22:560:23:01

It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.

0:23:010:23:06

Excuse me.

0:23:060:23:08

But, WHY...

0:23:080:23:11

Why had God chosen an obscene child to be His instrument?

0:23:110:23:16

It was not to be believed.

0:23:170:23:18

This piece had to be an accident.

0:23:190:23:21

It had to be.

0:23:210:23:22

It better be.

0:23:280:23:29

How good is he, this Mozart?

0:23:290:23:33

He's remarkable, Majesty! I heard his opera,

0:23:330:23:37

-"Idomeneo, King of Crete".

-THAT!

->

0:23:370:23:42

I heard it. A most tiresome piece!

0:23:420:23:45

Tiresome?

0:23:450:23:47

A young man trying to impress beyond his abilities.

0:23:470:23:52

Too much spice, too... too many notes!

0:23:520:23:56

Majesty, I thought it the best work I'd heard in years!

0:23:560:24:00

Well, then, we should make efforts to acquire him. We could use a GERMAN composer in Vienna, surely?

0:24:000:24:09

< I'm sure he could be tempted.

0:24:090:24:11

Say...er...an opera in German for our National Theatre?

0:24:110:24:18

-Excellent, Sire.

-But not German,

0:24:180:24:22

I beg Your Majesty. Italian is the language for opera.

0:24:220:24:28

All educated people agree on that.

0:24:280:24:31

Mmm-hmm... What do you think, Chamberlain?

0:24:310:24:35

In my opinion, Sire, it's time we had a piece in our own language -

0:24:350:24:42

< plain German for plain people.

0:24:420:24:45

Kapellmeister?

0:24:480:24:50

Majesty, I must agree with Herr Direttore...

0:24:510:24:57

..German is... >

0:24:570:25:01

..scusate...too bruta for singing.

0:25:010:25:05

Court Composer?

0:25:090:25:12

What do you think?

0:25:130:25:16

I think it's an interesting notion to keep Mozart in Vienna.

0:25:160:25:21

-It should infuriate the Archbishop, if that is Your Majesty's intention.

-You are cattivo, Court Composer!

0:25:210:25:28

I want to meet this young man. Chamberlain, arrange a pleasant welcome for him.

0:25:300:25:37

Well, there it is.

0:25:370:25:40

HE TRIES OUT VARIATIONS ON A PHRASE

0:25:490:25:55

Grazie, Signore.

0:26:030:26:05

Yes, zis is a beautiful vig for you! It looks zo marvellous!

0:26:100:26:16

-I love it!

-The other one!

0:26:160:26:20

I think you vill love it!

0:26:270:26:33

They're all so beautiful!

BRAYING LAUGH

0:26:380:26:41

EMPEROR: Gentlemen, good morning.

0:26:430:26:46

What do you have for me today? Your Majesty, Herr Mozart...

0:26:480:26:55

< ..Well, he's here.

0:26:550:26:59

-Well, there it is. Good!

-Sire...

0:27:010:27:05

-I hope you won't find it improper, but I wrote a march of welcome in his honour.

-A charming idea!

0:27:050:27:12

-May I see it?

-It is just a trifle, of course.

0:27:120:27:16

May I try it?

0:27:190:27:21

Majesty!

0:27:210:27:23

Let's have fun!

0:27:240:27:26

HE PLAYS SLOWLY AND WITHOUT FEELING

0:27:330:27:38

Delightful, Court Composer!

0:27:410:27:44

-May I play it when he comes in?

-You do me too much honour, Sire.

0:27:440:27:51

Bring in Herr Mozart, please. But, slowly!

0:27:510:27:55

I need a minute to practise.

0:27:550:27:58

THE MARCH IS PLAYED HEAVILY AND BADLY WITH MANY MISTAKES

0:28:000:28:07

It's C.

0:28:150:28:17

G, Your Majesty.

0:28:240:28:26

Excellent.

0:28:290:28:30

Good. Continue.

0:28:320:28:34

Ta-tum-tum-tum... Very good.

0:28:350:28:39

Very good, Majesty.

0:28:390:28:42

Pa-tum-te-ta-tum-te... Tempo!

0:28:420:28:45

Up... Lightly, then STRONGLY - a regal march!

0:28:450:28:50

Again.

0:28:500:28:53

PLAYS SLIGHTLY MORE FLUENTLY

0:28:540:28:57

Bravo, Majesty!

0:29:280:29:31

Gentlemen, please, a little less enthusiasm, I beg you!

0:29:310:29:36

-Ah, Mozart!

-Majesty!

0:29:360:29:40

Up...No, please, please! It's not a holy relic!

0:29:400:29:45

We HAVE met before, in this very room.

0:29:470:29:51

You were only six years old. >

0:29:510:29:54

He was giving a delightful concert. As he got off the stool, he slipped.

0:29:540:29:59

My sister, Antoinette, helped him up and guess what he did...

0:29:590:30:03

He said, "Will you marry me? Yes or no?"

0:30:030:30:07

BRAYING, HONKING LAUGH

0:30:070:30:11

You know all these gentlemen? The Baron Van Swieten.

0:30:110:30:16

-I'm a great admirer of yours.

-Thank you!

0:30:160:30:20

Kapellmeister Bonno.

0:30:200:30:22

Our director of opera, Count Orsini-Rosenberg.

0:30:220:30:27

Oh, sir, yes, the honour is mine, absolutely!

0:30:270:30:31

And here is our illustrious court composer, Maestro Salieri!

0:30:330:30:38

Such immense joy! Diletto straordinario!

0:30:400:30:44

I know your work well, signore. I actually composed some variations on a melody of yours.

0:30:440:30:52

-Which one?

-'Mio caro Adone.'

-I'm flattered.

0:30:520:30:56

A funny tune, but it yielded some good things!

0:30:560:31:01

Now he returns the compliment. Herr Salieri composed this for you.

0:31:010:31:07

Grazie, signore, sono commosso!

0:31:070:31:10

On to business. Young man, we will commission an opera from you.

0:31:100:31:15

What do you say?

0:31:150:31:18

Majesty!

0:31:180:31:20

-Did we vote in the end for German or Italian?

-Actually, Sire, we finally inclined to Italian.

0:31:200:31:27

Did we?

0:31:270:31:30

I don't think it was decided.

0:31:310:31:33

-Oh, German! German, please! Let it be German!

-Why so?

0:31:360:31:41

Because I have FOUND a libretto!

0:31:410:31:44

-Oh? Have I seen it?

-I don't think you have, Herr Director, it's quite new!

0:31:440:31:52

-I'll show it to you, of course!

-I think you'd better.

-Well...

0:31:520:31:58

Tell us about it, the story.

0:31:580:32:02

Well...it's quite amusing, Majesty!

0:32:030:32:06

It's set...the whole thing is set in...in...in...in a...

0:32:080:32:13

BRAYING

0:32:130:32:17

Yes...where?

0:32:180:32:20

In a harem, Majesty.

0:32:200:32:22

-In a seraglio!

-You mean, in Turkey?

0:32:220:32:27

-Yes! Exactly!

-Then why especially does it have to be in German?

0:32:270:32:33

It doesn't, especially. It could be in Turkish if you want!

0:32:330:32:38

My dear fellow, >

0:32:380:32:41

the language is hardly the point. Is the subject quite appropriate for a National Theatre?

0:32:410:32:48

Why not...? It's charming...

0:32:480:32:53

I mean, I won't actually show concubines exposing their...

0:32:530:32:57

It's not indecent!

0:32:590:33:02

It's moral - full of German virtues.

0:33:020:33:05

Excuse me, Majesty, what are they? Being a foreigner, I'd love to learn.

0:33:050:33:12

Well, tell him, Mozart.

0:33:130:33:17

Name us a German virtue.

0:33:170:33:20

-Love, Sire.

-Oh, love(!) Of course, in Italy we know nothing about love(!)

0:33:200:33:26

No, I don't think you do, watching Italian opera!

0:33:290:33:34

All those male sopranos screeching, fat couples rolling their eyes! That's not love, it's RUBBISH!

0:33:340:33:41

Majesty, YOU choose the language.

0:33:440:33:46

My task will be to set it to the finest music ever offered!

0:33:460:33:52

There it is. Let it be German.

0:33:520:33:55

Here. This is yours. >

0:33:550:33:59

Keep it. It is already in my head.

0:33:590:34:01

-What? On one hearing only?

-I think so, Sire, yes.

0:34:010:34:06

Show us.

0:34:110:34:13

HE PLAYS THE MARCH QUICKLY AND FLUENTLY

0:34:200:34:24

The rest is just the same, isn't it?

0:34:410:34:45

-A fourth doesn't work, does it?

-CHANGES THE INTERVAL TO A THIRD

-Try...

0:34:480:34:54

HE ALTERS THE TIMING SUBTLY

0:34:540:34:58

-Or...

-PLAYS THE MELODY WITH BOTH HANDS

0:34:580:35:02

Better? What do you think?

0:35:060:35:09

HE EMBELLISHES AND TRANSFORMS IT INTO 'NON PIU ANDRAI' FROM 'THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO'

0:35:090:35:16

Grazie, Signore(!)

0:35:540:35:57

All I ever wanted was to sing to God.

0:35:590:36:03

He gave me that longing...

0:36:030:36:06

..and then made me mute! Why?

0:36:070:36:10

Tell me that.

0:36:110:36:14

If He didn't want me to praise Him with music, why implant the desire...

0:36:140:36:20

..like a LUST in my body...

0:36:210:36:24

..and then, deny me the talent?!

0:36:240:36:27

DOOR >

0:36:270:36:28

-Madame Cavalieri is here for her lesson, sir.

-Maestro!

0:36:300:36:36

Well...? How do you like it?

0:36:390:36:42

It's Turkish! My hairdresser says everything this year will be Turkish!

0:36:440:36:51

What else did he tell you today?

0:36:550:36:58

Come, come, come, give me some gossip.

0:36:580:37:03

Well, I heard you met Herr Mozart.

0:37:040:37:08

Oh. News travels fast in Vienna.

0:37:120:37:15

And he's been commissioned to write an opera. Is it true?

0:37:150:37:19

Yes.

0:37:190:37:21

-Is there a part in it for me?

-No.

-How do you know?

-Do you know where it's set, my dear?

0:37:210:37:28

-Where?

-In a harem.

0:37:280:37:31

-What's that?

-A brothel!

0:37:320:37:36

Oh-h-h-h!

0:37:370:37:39

Come...

0:37:390:37:40

..let's begin.

0:37:400:37:42

What does he look like?

0:37:420:37:46

Mozart? You might be disappointed.

0:37:460:37:49

Why?

0:37:490:37:50

-Looks and talent don't always go together!

-Looks don't concern me, Maestro.

0:37:500:37:57

Only talent interests a woman of taste.

0:37:570:38:01

Er...shall we continue?

0:38:030:38:05

SINGS A SCALE

0:38:070:38:09

HIGHER SCALE

0:38:110:38:15

ONE HIGHER STILL

0:38:150:38:19

ORCHESTRA JOINS IN

0:38:190:38:21

IT BECOMES THE END OF THE ARIA 'MARTERN ALLER ARTEN'...

0:38:210:38:27

..FROM 'THE ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO'

0:38:270:38:32

There she was!

0:38:410:38:44

I don't know where or how they met,

0:38:450:38:48

but there she stood, showing off, like the greedy songbird she was!

0:38:480:38:55

# Hurt me! Break me! Kill me!

0:39:020:39:06

# At last I shall be freed by death!

0:39:060:39:09

# At last, at last I shall be freed by death!

0:39:090:39:15

# At last I shall be freed by death! Freed at last...

0:39:150:39:20

# ..At last I shall be freed... #

0:39:200:39:25

Ten minutes of ghastly scales and arpeggios!

0:39:270:39:32

Whizzing up and down like fireworks at a fairground!

0:39:320:39:37

# ..By death! #

0:39:370:39:39

I was in LOVE with the girl!

0:39:470:39:50

Or, at least in lust!

0:39:500:39:52

But I swear I never touched her.

0:39:550:39:58

All the same, I couldn't bear to think of anyone else touching her -

0:40:010:40:07

LEAST of all, the Creature!

0:40:070:40:11

THE FINALE FROM 'THE ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO'

0:40:110:40:15

# Bassa Selim lives forever, forever! He lives forever!

0:40:210:40:30

# Honour to his regal name! Honour to his regal name!

0:40:300:40:37

# Glory, fortune, joy and fame!

# Glory, fortune, joy and fame! #

0:41:220:41:26

WARM APPLAUSE

0:41:300:41:35

PUSH!

0:41:420:41:44

Brava, Madame! You are an ornament to our stage!

0:41:500:41:55

-Your Majesty!

-APPRECIATIVE APPLAUSE

0:41:550:41:59

Well, Herr Mozart...

0:41:590:42:02

..a good effort. Decidedly! An excellent effort! You have shown us something...

0:42:020:42:08

-..quite new!

-It IS new! It IS, isn't it?

0:42:100:42:14

-Yes, indeed.

-So, then you liked it?

0:42:140:42:19

-You really liked it, Sire?

-Of course I did, it's very good!

0:42:190:42:24

Of course, now and then, just now and then, it... it seemed a touch...

0:42:240:42:31

-What do you mean, Sire?

-I mean, occasionally, it seems to have...

0:42:320:42:38

..Oh, how shall one say...?

0:42:390:42:41

-How SHALL one say, Director?

-Too many notes, Your Majesty?

-Yes! Exactly!

0:42:440:42:51

I don't understand. There are just as many notes, Majesty, as I required, no more, no less.

0:42:510:42:58

Dear fellow, there are only so many notes the ear can hear in one evening.

0:42:580:43:03

Am I right in that, Court Composer?

0:43:060:43:09

Yes, you are, on the whole. Yes, Majesty.

0:43:120:43:15

-But this is absurd!

-Don't take it too hard.

0:43:150:43:20

Your work is ingenious! It's quality work!

0:43:200:43:24

Cut a few notes and it's perfect!

0:43:240:43:28

Which FEW did you have in mind?

0:43:290:43:32

Wolfgang! >

0:43:320:43:34

¬ Wolfgang! My dear!

0:43:360:43:38

Wolfgang!

0:43:380:43:40

Majesty, this is Frau Weber. She's my landlady.

0:43:400:43:45

Enchanted.

0:43:480:43:49

Oh, Sire...such an honour!

0:43:490:43:54

THIS is my dear daughter, Constanze. She is the fiance of Herr Mozart!

0:43:570:44:02

Really?

0:44:020:44:04

GIGGLES

0:44:050:44:07

How charming! Please...

0:44:070:44:10

Well,

0:44:260:44:28

when do you marry? >

0:44:280:44:31

Well...er...

0:44:310:44:32

..Well, we haven't exactly received my father's consent yet, not entirely, not altogether.

0:44:340:44:41

Excuse me, but...er... how old ARE you?

0:44:420:44:47

-Twenty-six.

-Well, my advice is for you to marry this charming lady,

0:44:470:44:52

and stay with us in Vienna. > You SEE!

0:44:520:44:57

I told him that, Your Majesty, but he wouldn't listen! You give such...ooh...

0:44:570:45:03

< ..ROYAL advice!

0:45:030:45:06

May I...?

0:45:060:45:08

Well... There it is!

0:45:160:45:19

< Water!

0:45:200:45:21

Will you get some water, please!

0:45:240:45:28

Get some water!

0:45:330:45:34

Excuse me. Excuse me.

0:45:430:45:45

Did you know?

0:45:530:45:54

What?

0:45:560:45:57

The marriage?

0:45:570:45:58

What does it matter to you?

0:46:000:46:03

Nothing. He can marry who he pleases. I don't give a damn.

0:46:040:46:07

How was I?

0:46:100:46:12

You were sublime!

0:46:140:46:16

And what did you think of the music?

0:46:160:46:18

Extremely clever.

0:46:200:46:21

Catharina. I...

0:46:230:46:24

Oh. Excuse me.

0:46:250:46:27

Is that woman still lying on the floor?

0:46:270:46:30

No. She's fine.

0:46:310:46:33

Oh. I'm so relieved(!)

0:46:330:46:36

Dear Mozart. My sincere congratulations.

0:46:370:46:40

-Did you like it?

-How could I not?

0:46:400:46:43

BRAYS

0:46:430:46:45

It really is the best music one can hear in Vienna today.

0:46:450:46:47

-Don't you agree?

-She must be dazzling in bed.

0:46:470:46:50

I assume she is the virtuoso in that department.

0:46:540:46:57

There can't be any other reason why you'd marry someone like that.

0:46:570:47:00

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:47:000:47:02

Come in.

0:47:020:47:04

Excuse me. Wolfie, Mum's not feeling very well.

0:47:070:47:10

-Can we go home now?

-Of course.

0:47:100:47:12

No, no, no, no. You can't take him away now.

0:47:120:47:15

This is his night.

0:47:150:47:17

Aren't you going to introduce us, Wolfgang?

0:47:170:47:21

Excuse us, Fraulein. Good night, Signore.

0:47:210:47:23

DOOR SLAMS

0:47:250:47:26

At that moment I knew, beyond any doubt, he'd had her!

0:47:260:47:33

The Creature had had my darling girl.

0:47:330:47:38

It was incomprehensible!

0:47:440:47:47

What was God up to?

0:47:470:47:49

Was it possible I was being tested?

0:47:510:47:53

Was God expecting me to offer...forgiveness

0:47:550:47:59

in the face of every offence?

0:47:590:48:02

No matter how painful?

0:48:020:48:04

It's very possible.

0:48:070:48:08

But why...him?

0:48:080:48:11

Why choose Mozart to teach me lessons in humility?

0:48:110:48:16

My heart was filling up with such hatred for that little man!

0:48:170:48:22

For the first time in my life I began to know...

0:48:240:48:28

..really violent thoughts.

0:48:280:48:31

Every day, sometimes for hours, I would pray.

0:48:330:48:37

Lord...

0:48:390:48:40

Please...

0:48:420:48:44

Send him away.

0:48:440:48:46

Back to Salzburg.

0:48:460:48:48

For his sake,

0:48:510:48:53

as well as mine.

0:48:530:48:55

-No. I won't have him back!

-But...

0:48:580:49:02

Your son is an unprincipled, spoiled, conceited brat!

0:49:020:49:07

Yes, sir. That...er... that is the truth.

0:49:070:49:12

But don't blame him. The fault is mine!

0:49:120:49:18

Mine entirely! I was too indulgent with him!

0:49:180:49:23

Your Grace, give him another chance.

0:49:240:49:27

You have leave to try.

0:49:300:49:32

God bless Your Grace! I thank Your Grace! I thank you!

0:49:320:49:37

"I write to you with urgent news.

0:49:410:49:44

"I am coming to Vienna.

0:49:440:49:47

"Take no further steps towards marriage until we meet.

0:49:470:49:51

"As you honour the father who has devoted his life to you, do as I bid."

0:49:510:49:58

KYRIE FROM MOZART'S MASS IN C MINOR

0:49:580:50:04

I now join you in the holy bonds of matrimony.

0:50:090:50:14

Those whom God has joined together, let no man put asunder.

0:50:140:50:20

In nomine Patri et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.

0:50:230:50:27

"Most beloved father, you told me Vienna is the city of musicians,

0:50:340:50:39

"conquer her and conquer Europe.

0:50:390:50:42

"With my wife I can. Soon, when I am wealthy, come and live with us."

0:50:420:50:47

-Ah, Court Composer! This is my niece, Princess Elizabeth.

-Your Highness.

0:50:590:51:04

-She asked my advice about a suitable music tutor. I have had an idea.

-Oh, Majesty, it would be an honour!

0:51:040:51:12

I was thinking of Herr Mozart.

0:51:120:51:15

What is your view?

0:51:150:51:17

It's an interesting idea, but...

0:51:190:51:22

-Yes?

-..My concern...

0:51:220:51:26

..is to protect you from any hint of favouritism.

0:51:260:51:32

Ah-ha.

0:51:320:51:34

Favouritism.

0:51:370:51:39

-What is this?!

-What is what?

0:51:390:51:41

-Why must I submit my work to a committee just to teach her?!

-Because His Majesty wishes it.

0:51:410:51:49

-Is the Emperor angry with me?

-Quite the contrary.

0:51:500:51:55

-Then why not simply APPOINT me?!

-You are not the ONLY composer here.

0:51:550:52:00

No, but I'm the BEST!

0:52:000:52:04

Mozart...

0:52:040:52:06

..a little modesty might suit you.

0:52:070:52:10

Who is on this committee?

0:52:180:52:20

Herr Bonno, Baron Orsini-Rosenberg and Herr Salieri.

0:52:200:52:25

Naturally(!) The Italians! Always the Italians!

0:52:250:52:30

They're all musical IDIOTS!

0:52:300:52:33

And THEY are to judge MY music?!

0:52:330:52:36

Young man, the issue is quite simple.

0:52:360:52:40

-If you want this position, you must submit your stuff along with ALL your colleagues.

-Must I?

0:52:410:52:48

Well, I won't.

0:52:490:52:52

How are we supposed to live, Wolfie?

0:52:520:52:55

Do you want me to go on the streets and beg?

0:52:570:52:59

It's stupid.

0:53:000:53:01

-All they want to see is your work.

-Shit.

0:53:020:53:05

-What's wrong with that?

-Shut up. Just shut up.

0:53:050:53:07

One royal pupil and the whole of Vienna will come flocking.

0:53:100:53:14

They'll come anyway.

0:53:140:53:17

No, they won't.

0:53:170:53:18

They love me here.

0:53:190:53:21

I know how things work in this city.

0:53:210:53:22

You always know everything, don't you?

0:53:220:53:25

SHE SINGS

0:53:300:53:34

-Yes?

-Excuse me, sir, there is a lady who insists on talking to you.

0:53:530:53:57

-Who is she?

-She didn't say but she said it's urgent.

0:53:570:54:00

Excuse me, my dear.

0:54:030:54:04

Your Excellency.

0:54:100:54:12

How can I help you?

0:54:130:54:16

Frau Mozart?

0:54:200:54:21

I've come on behalf of my husband.

0:54:210:54:24

I've brought samples of his work for consideration.

0:54:240:54:28

Well... How charming, but...er... why did he not come himself?

0:54:290:54:35

Well, he's...terribly busy, sir.

0:54:350:54:39

I understand.

0:54:420:54:44

I'll look at them as soon as I can. It's an honour.

0:54:460:54:51

Give him my warmest regards.

0:54:510:54:54

Would it be too much trouble for you to look at them while I wait?

0:54:540:55:00

I'm afraid I'm not at leisure this moment. Leave them with me. They'll be quite safe.

0:55:000:55:07

I really cannot do that, sir.

0:55:080:55:11

You see...he doesn't know I'm here.

0:55:130:55:17

You mean, he didn't send you?

0:55:170:55:20

No, sir.

0:55:200:55:22

This was my own idea.

0:55:220:55:24

I see.

0:55:260:55:28

Sir, we're desperate. We really need this job!

0:55:280:55:32

My husband spends far more than he earns.

0:55:320:55:36

I don't mean that he's lazy, he works all day!

0:55:360:55:41

It's just that...

0:55:410:55:44

..he's not practical! Money simply slips through his fingers. It's ridiculous!

0:55:440:55:51

Let me offer you some refreshments. Do you know what these are?

0:55:530:55:58

Capezzoli di Venere - nipples of Venus.

0:55:590:56:04

Roman chestnuts in brandied sugar!

0:56:040:56:07

Go on, try one.

0:56:070:56:10

They are quite surprising!

0:56:100:56:12

-Mmm!

-Mmm...

-They're wonderful!

0:56:150:56:18

-Thank you, Your Excellency.

-Don't keep calling me that!

0:56:200:56:25

It keeps me at such a distance!

0:56:260:56:30

I wasn't born a court composer, you know. I'm from a small town, just like your husband.

0:56:300:56:37

Are you sure you can't... leave this and come back again?

0:56:400:56:45

It's very tempting, sir... but it's impossible, I'm afraid.

0:56:480:56:53

Wolfgang would be frantic if he found them missing.

0:56:530:56:57

You see, they're all originals.

0:56:570:57:00

-Originals?

-Yes, sir. He doesn't make copies.

0:57:000:57:04

These...are ORIGINALS?

0:57:150:57:19

CONCERTO FOR FLUTE AND HARP

0:57:200:57:25

SYMPHONY NO.29 IN A MAJOR

0:57:520:57:55

Astounding! It was beyond belief!

0:57:550:57:58

These were the first, and ONLY drafts of music!

0:57:580:58:02

-CONCERTO FOR TWO PIANOS

-But they had no corrections!

0:58:050:58:10

-SYMPHONIE CONCERTANTE

-He had simply written down music already finished...

0:58:100:58:17

-MASS IN C MINOR

-..in his head!

0:58:170:58:22

Page after page, as if he were taking dictation!

0:58:220:58:26

SOPRANO SOLO

0:58:260:58:31

And music finished as no music is EVER finished!

0:58:310:58:37

Displace one note and there would be diminishment.

0:58:410:58:46

Displace one phrase and the structure would fall.

0:58:460:58:51

It was clear that the sound I had heard in the Archbishop's palace had been no accident.

0:58:570:59:05

Here again was the very voice of God.

0:59:060:59:10

I was staring through the cage of those meticulous ink strokes...

0:59:160:59:21

..at an Absolute Beauty!

0:59:210:59:26

SOARING NOTES FROM THE KYRIE

0:59:260:59:33

Is it not good?

0:59:400:59:42

It is miraculous!

0:59:470:59:50

Oh, yes! He's very proud of his work.

0:59:540:59:57

So you will help us?

0:59:591:00:01

I dine with the emperor tomorrow evening.

1:00:041:00:06

One word from me and the post is his.

1:00:071:00:09

Oh, thank you, Your Excellency, thank you.

1:00:111:00:13

Come back tonight.

1:00:131:00:15

-Tonight?

-Alone.

1:00:181:00:20

What for?

1:00:221:00:23

Some service deserves service in return.

1:00:251:00:27

No?

1:00:301:00:31

What do you mean?

1:00:331:00:35

Isn't it obvious?

1:00:351:00:36

It's a post all Vienna seeks.

1:00:381:00:39

If you wish it for your husband, come tonight.

1:00:411:00:44

I'm a married woman, sir.

1:00:451:00:48

Then don't.

1:00:481:00:49

It's up to you.

1:00:491:00:51

Not to be vague. That is the price.

1:00:531:00:56

There is no God of mercy, Father.

1:01:081:01:09

Just a God of torture.

1:01:131:01:15

Evening came.

1:01:221:01:23

I sat not knowing whether she would return or not.

1:01:251:01:27

I prayed as I had never prayed before.

1:01:301:01:33

Dear God. Enter me now.

1:01:351:01:39

Fill me with one piece of true music.

1:01:391:01:43

One piece with your breath in it

1:01:451:01:47

so I know that you love me.

1:01:471:01:49

Show me one sign of your favour and I will show mine to Mozart.

1:01:501:01:56

I will get him the royal position.

1:01:561:01:59

Enter me. Please.

1:01:591:02:04

Please!

1:02:061:02:08

KNOCK ON DOOR

1:02:081:02:09

Yes.

1:02:141:02:15

That lady is back, sir.

1:02:201:02:21

Show her in.

1:02:271:02:28

-Well?

-Huh?

1:03:001:03:01

I'm here.

1:03:031:03:04

My husband has gone to a concert.

1:03:081:03:10

He didn't think I would enjoy it.

1:03:121:03:14

Well, where shall we go?

1:03:251:03:27

Should we stay here?

1:03:291:03:31

Well...

1:03:331:03:34

Do you still want to look at these?

1:03:381:03:40

Or don't we need to bother any more?

1:03:441:03:45

I suppose we don't, really.

1:03:491:03:51

BELL RINGS

1:04:361:04:38

Show this woman out.

1:04:461:04:48

Stanzi.

1:05:091:05:10

Stanzi.

1:05:121:05:13

What is it?

1:05:191:05:20

SOBS

1:05:201:05:21

What's the matter?

1:05:211:05:23

Tell me.

1:05:231:05:24

Tell me.

1:05:291:05:30

SOBS

1:05:301:05:33

I love you.

1:05:361:05:38

I love you.

1:05:381:05:41

From now on, we are enemies... You and I!

1:05:411:05:48

Because You choose for Your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy,

1:05:481:05:56

and give me for reward only the ability to recognise him!

1:05:561:06:01

Because You are unjust... unfair...unkind!

1:06:011:06:08

I will block You! I SWEAR it!

1:06:081:06:13

I will harm Your creature on earth as FAR as I am able!

1:06:151:06:20

Majesty, I don't like to talk against a fellow musician.

1:06:201:06:22

Of course not.

1:06:221:06:24

I have to tell you.

1:06:241:06:26

Mozart is not entirely to be trusted alone with young ladies.

1:06:281:06:32

-Really?

-As a matter of fact,

1:06:341:06:36

one of my own pupils, a very young singer,

1:06:361:06:39

Maria Theresa Paradis, told me she was...

1:06:391:06:44

Well...

1:06:451:06:47

Well, what?

1:06:501:06:52

Molested, Majesty.

1:06:521:06:54

Twice, in the course of the same lesson.

1:06:541:06:58

Sir. There is a Herr Mozart waiting for you in the salon.

1:07:031:07:05

Whom did they choose?

1:07:101:07:11

Herr Zammer.

1:07:111:07:13

Herr Zammer?

1:07:131:07:15

But the man's a fool.

1:07:151:07:16

He's a total mediocrity.

1:07:161:07:18

No, no, no.

1:07:181:07:20

He has yet to achieve mediocrity.

1:07:201:07:23

LAUGHS

1:07:231:07:25

I can't lose this post.

1:07:261:07:28

I simply can't.

1:07:281:07:29

Excellency, please.

1:07:311:07:33

Let's go to the palace

1:07:331:07:35

and you can talk to the emperor

1:07:351:07:36

and tell him that Herr Zammer is an awful choice.

1:07:361:07:40

He could actually do musical harm to the Princess Elizabeth.

1:07:421:07:45

Between you and me, no-one in the world

1:07:451:07:47

could do musical harm to the Princess Elizabeth.

1:07:471:07:49

LAUGHS

1:07:491:07:52

Look. I must have pupils.

1:07:541:07:56

Without pupils, I can't manage.

1:07:561:07:59

You don't mean to tell me that

1:08:011:08:02

you're living in poverty?

1:08:021:08:03

No. But I'm broke.

1:08:031:08:06

Well, how is this possible?

1:08:061:08:09

You give concerts, don't you?

1:08:101:08:11

I hear they're quite successful.

1:08:111:08:13

They're stupendously successful.

1:08:131:08:15

You can't get a seat.

1:08:161:08:17

The only trouble is no-one will hire me.

1:08:171:08:20

They all want to hear me play but they won't let me teach

1:08:201:08:23

their daughters, as if I was some kind of a fiend.

1:08:231:08:25

LAUGHS

1:08:251:08:27

Seriously, is there any chance you could manage a loan?

1:08:311:08:35

Only for six months.

1:08:381:08:40

Eight at the most.

1:08:401:08:41

You expect your fortunes to change in six or eight months?

1:08:411:08:45

As a matter of fact, I do.

1:08:461:08:47

I am working on something that is going to explode like a bombshell

1:08:501:08:53

all over Europe.

1:08:531:08:55

After that, I'll be the richest man in Vienna.

1:08:551:08:57

I'll pay you back double. Anything.

1:08:571:08:58

You name the terms.

1:09:001:09:01

How exciting.

1:09:011:09:03

-Tell me more.

-Oh, I...

1:09:051:09:08

I better not. It's a bit of a secret.

1:09:091:09:10

Come come, Mozart. I am interested.

1:09:101:09:12

This is delicious. What is it?

1:09:121:09:13

Oh. It's cream cheese, mixed with granulated sugar,

1:09:131:09:18

suffused with rum.

1:09:181:09:20

Crema mascarpone.

1:09:201:09:21

Speciale.

1:09:211:09:23

Italian.

1:09:231:09:24

Forgive me. We all have patriotic feelings of some kind.

1:09:251:09:29

Two... Two hundred florins, that's all I need.

1:09:291:09:33

A hundred.

1:09:371:09:38

Fifty.

1:09:401:09:42

What exactly are you working on?

1:09:431:09:44

I... I... Really, I can't say.

1:09:471:09:50

I don't think you should be come known in Vienna

1:09:521:09:55

as a debtor, Mozart.

1:09:551:09:57

However. However. I know a very distinguished gentleman

1:10:041:10:08

that I can recommend to you.

1:10:081:10:09

And, he has a daughter.

1:10:091:10:11

DOGS BARK

1:10:111:10:14

Quiet! Quiet! Herr Mozart.

1:10:171:10:20

Pay no attention. They're impossible.

1:10:221:10:24

Just ignore them.

1:10:241:10:25

Treat them just like my own children.

1:10:251:10:27

Which of them do you wish me to teach?

1:10:291:10:30

Ha! Ha! That's funny!

1:10:341:10:36

LAUGHS

1:10:361:10:38

You're a funny fellow!

1:10:381:10:41

This is the instrument, Herr Mozart.

1:10:411:10:43

I hope it will be to your satisfaction.

1:10:431:10:45

Of course it'll be to his satisfaction.

1:10:451:10:47

Come! Come! Let's listen to some music.

1:10:471:10:49

Come! Come on!

1:10:491:10:52

Good boy!

1:10:531:10:55

Now. Please play me something, just to give me an idea.

1:11:001:11:04

Anything will do.

1:11:071:11:09

Just go ahead. Just as if we weren't here!

1:11:091:11:13

DOGS BARK

1:11:131:11:15

Part of music, getting used to an audience.

1:11:151:11:18

Aren't I right, Herr Mozart?

1:11:181:11:19

Perhaps it would be better if we were left alone.

1:11:201:11:23

-I think we're both a little shy.

-Play.

1:11:241:11:27

-I said play!

-Michael!

1:11:271:11:29

-Please.

-Perhaps if I were to play something first

1:11:291:11:33

it would encourage the fraulein.

1:11:331:11:34

DOG HOWLS

1:11:441:11:48

Stop it! Stop! He always howls when he hears music.

1:11:481:11:51

He's got to break that habit.

1:11:511:11:53

Yes. We've got to break that habit.

1:11:531:11:56

Play, please, please.

1:11:571:11:59

Herr Mozart, play.

1:11:591:12:00

Please. I beg you.

1:12:001:12:02

That's it. That's it.

1:12:101:12:11

Play!

1:12:151:12:16

Keep playing! That's it! That's it!

1:12:231:12:26

DOGS BARK

1:12:301:12:34

Mozart, that's wonderful! Wonderful!

1:12:451:12:47

Well, next time you wish me to instruct

1:12:481:12:51

another one of your dogs, please let me know.

1:12:511:12:53

Goodbye, Fraulein, goodbye Madam, goodbye, Sir.

-Why are you here?

-Am I not welcome?

1:14:021:14:05

Of course welcome.

1:14:051:14:07

Papa! Welcome! Welcome!

1:14:071:14:11

TINKLE OF GLASS

1:14:131:14:15

You are thin. Doesn't your wife feed you?

1:14:301:14:35

Of course she does! She stuffs me like a goose!

1:14:351:14:39

-<

-Is she not here?

-No, she had to help her mother. She's like that.

1:14:391:14:46

Her mother's sweet, you'll...

NERVOUS GIGGLE

1:14:521:14:55

I didn't know you were home... ..Stanzi, this is my father.

1:14:551:15:01

We'll wait. We'll wait!

1:15:041:15:07

(Why don't you get UP, now, dear!)

1:15:081:15:12

She's tired. You know me - I'm such a pig!

1:15:191:15:23

-It's hard cleaning after me!

-Don't you have a maid?

1:15:231:15:28

Oh, no. We could if we wanted, but Stanzi wouldn't hear of it. She insists on doing it herself!

1:15:281:15:36

How is your...er...

1:15:361:15:39

..financial situation?

1:15:401:15:43

Couldn't be better!

1:15:431:15:46

That's not what I hear.

1:15:461:15:48

What do you mean? It's marvellous! Really. People love me here.

1:15:481:15:54

They say you have debts.

1:15:551:15:57

Who...? Who says that?!

1:15:591:16:02

-That's a malicious lie!

-Do you have pupils?

1:16:021:16:06

I don't WANT pupils!

1:16:071:16:10

They get in the way!

1:16:101:16:13

I need time for composition!

1:16:141:16:17

Composition doesn't pay!

1:16:171:16:20

-You know that.

-That one will.

-What is that?

1:16:201:16:24

It's a secret.

1:16:251:16:28

Secret(!) You don't have secrets from ME.

1:16:281:16:31

No! No, no, no!

1:16:311:16:34

I don't want anyone to see it!

1:16:351:16:38

But you'll be so proud of me, Papa. It will be the best thing...

1:16:381:16:43

There she is! Look at her! Isn't she beautiful?!

1:16:451:16:51

-Father, confess, could you find a prettier daughter-in-law?

-Stop!

1:16:511:16:56

-I look dreadful!

-Are you...er...expecting?

1:16:571:17:03

-Yes, I am.

-Isn't it marvellous? We're delighted!

1:17:051:17:09

-Would you like tea, Herr Mozart?

-Who wants tea? Let's go out!

1:17:091:17:14

This calls for a feast!

1:17:141:17:17

-Wolfie...!

-I know! Let's go dancing. Papa loves parties!

-Wolfie!

How can you be so boring? Tea(!)

It's just a game, Papa.

1:18:501:18:52

-No! No!

-BRAYS

1:19:241:19:28

Herr Mozart, why don't you name your son's penalty?

1:19:311:19:36

Yes, Papa... Name it. I'll do anything you say!

1:19:371:19:43

I want you to come back to Salzburg.

1:19:451:19:48

Papa! You have to give a penalty that can be performed in the room!

1:19:481:19:54

-I'm tired of this game.

-My penalty! I've GOT to have one!

1:19:541:19:59

'I'll name a penalty!'

'Your penalty is to play a tune in the manner of Bach!'

Now, turn him over! Turn him over!

Now, play it backwards!

-Play Handel.

1:22:101:22:13

That was not Mozart laughing.

1:22:181:22:20

That was God. That was GOD laughing at me through that obscene giggle!

1:22:201:22:27

Go on, Signore, LAUGH!

1:22:291:22:32

Show my mediocrity for all to see!

1:22:321:22:35

One day I will laugh at You.

1:22:371:22:39

Before I leave this earth I will laugh at YOU!

1:22:431:22:48

-Wolfie...?

-What?

1:23:101:23:13

There's a young girl here to see you.

1:23:131:23:16

-Well, what does she want?

-She won't talk to me. She wants to talk to you.

1:23:161:23:22

Damn!

1:23:231:23:25

Yes?

1:23:291:23:31

Are you Herr Mozart?

1:23:321:23:34

Yes.

1:23:341:23:36

My name is Lorl, sir.

1:23:371:23:40

I'm a maid. I was asked to offer you my services.

1:23:401:23:44

They will be paid for by a great admirer of yours who wishes to remain anonymous.

1:23:441:23:52

Is this your idea, Papa?

1:23:521:23:55

-Mine?

-Is this a trick on me?

-I've never seen this girl before!

1:23:561:24:01

-Is this some joke?

-Not at all, sir!

1:24:031:24:06

Young woman, this won't do at all!

1:24:061:24:09

My son cannot accept such an offer unless he knows who is behind it.

1:24:091:24:15

-But I can't tell you that, sir.

-It's ridiculous!

1:24:151:24:19

What?

1:24:191:24:21

Wolfie has many admirers in Vienna. They send us gifts often.

1:24:221:24:28

But she has no references!

1:24:281:24:31

This is none of your business.

1:24:311:24:33

Whoever sent you will pay, no? < That's right, ma'am.

1:24:331:24:38

Splendid(!) We'll let strangers into our house!

1:24:381:24:42

Who is "WE"?! Who is letting...?

1:24:421:24:45

Could you please wait outside? Er...yes, ma'am.

1:24:461:24:51

'Look, old man! We spend a fortune on you and all you do is criticise!'

1:24:531:24:58

-You just...

-Stanzi!

-He SHOULD hear!

1:24:581:25:01

I'm SICK of it! We can't do ANYTHING right for you, can we?!

1:25:011:25:07

You won't have to do anything for me AGAIN! I'm leaving!

1:25:071:25:13

-Papa!

-I won't be a BURDEN to you!

-No-one calls you that!

1:25:131:25:18

-SHE does! She says I sleep all day!

-And so you DO!

1:25:181:25:24

-The only time you come out is to eat!

-What do you expect?!

1:25:241:25:30

Do you expect anyone to walk out into a MESS like THIS every day?!

1:25:311:25:37

-So now I'm a bad housekeeper?!

-You are! The place is like a pigsty all the time!

1:25:371:25:42

When can you start? Right away, ma'am.

1:25:441:25:46

'AH TUTTI CONTENTI' FROM 'THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO' PLAYS IN HIS HEAD, DROWNING THE ROW

1:25:521:26:00

They are out every night, sir.

1:26:141:26:17

Thank you, sir.

1:26:171:26:20

Do any pupils come to the house?

1:26:201:26:24

Not that I've seen.

1:26:251:26:28

Then how does he pay for all this?

1:26:281:26:30

Does he work at all?

1:26:301:26:33

Oh, YES, sir, all day long!

1:26:331:26:37

He never leaves the house till night. He just sits there, writing.

1:26:371:26:42

Really?

1:26:421:26:44

What is it he's writing?

1:26:451:26:48

I wouldn't know that, sir.

1:26:501:26:53

Of course not. You're a good girl. You're very kind to do this.

1:26:531:26:59

The next time you are sure they'll be out of the house, let me know.

1:26:591:27:06

Thank you, sir!

1:27:111:27:13

PLAYS PIANO CONCERTO IN E FLAT

1:27:381:27:43

I think I've found out about the money, sir.

1:28:481:28:52

Yes? What?

1:28:521:28:55

He kept seven snuff-boxes in here. I could swear they were all gold.

1:28:551:29:00

-And now, look, there's only one left.

-Where does he work?

1:29:001:29:07

There.

1:29:091:29:10

Gentlemen, I have heard something interesting.

1:29:551:29:59

-What?

-Mozart is writing a new opera. An Italian opera.

1:30:011:30:06

-Italian?!

-Oh!

-And that's not all.

1:30:071:30:11

His subject is...Figaro!

1:30:111:30:14

The marriage of Figaro.

1:30:141:30:17

He is setting THAT play to music?!

1:30:171:30:21

Yes.

1:30:211:30:22

Er...what is this "Marriage of Figaro"?

1:30:221:30:27

It's a French play, Kapellmeister.

1:30:271:30:30

It has been BANNED by the Emperor.

1:30:301:30:33

You are absolutely sure?

1:30:331:30:36

'Herr Mozart.'

1:30:391:30:42

Gentlemen, sit down.

1:30:421:30:44

Mozart, are you aware that I have declared the play "Figaro" unsuitable for our theatre?

1:30:501:30:57

Yes, Sire.

1:30:591:31:01

Yet we hear you are making an opera from it.

1:31:011:31:05

< Is this true?

1:31:051:31:08

Who told you this, Majesty?

1:31:091:31:11

It is not your place to ask questions.

1:31:111:31:16

-Is it true?

-Well, yes, I admit it is.

1:31:161:31:21

Would you tell me why?

1:31:231:31:25

Well... Majesty, it is only a comedy!

1:31:251:31:31

That's YOUR opinion! His Majesty's opinion is what counts!

1:31:311:31:36

But, Your Majesty...!

1:31:361:31:39

Mozart, I am a tolerant man.

1:31:401:31:43

I do not censor things lightly. When I do, I have good reason!

1:31:431:31:50

"Figaro" is a BAD play. It stirs up hatred between the classes.

1:31:501:31:56

In France it has caused trouble. My sister, Antoinette, is frightened of her own people!

1:31:561:32:03

Sire, I swear, I have taken out everything that may give offence!

1:32:041:32:09

I...I HATE politics!

1:32:091:32:12

I'm afraid you're rather innocent.

1:32:121:32:15

In these dangerous times, I cannot afford to provoke our nobles or people simply over a theatre piece!

1:32:151:32:23

Majesty, this is just a frolic!

1:32:231:32:26

-It's about love!

-Love, again(!)

1:32:261:32:29

And it's new! It's entirely new! It's SO new, the people will go mad for it!

1:32:301:32:36

I have scenes...!

1:32:361:32:39

The end of the second half starts as a duet, just a husband and wife quarrelling.

1:32:391:32:46

Suddenly, the wife's scheming maid comes in...

1:32:461:32:50

..duet turns into trio.

1:32:501:32:53

Then the husband's valet comes in, trio turns into quartet!

1:32:531:32:58

Then a stupid gardener comes in, quartet becomes quintet!

1:32:581:33:03

And on and on! Sextet, septet... How long can I sustain that, Sire?

1:33:031:33:08

I have no idea.

1:33:081:33:11

Guess, Sire!

1:33:111:33:14

Imagine the longest time it could be sustained

1:33:141:33:18

and then DOUBLE it!

1:33:181:33:21

Well...six...

1:33:211:33:24

< ..seven minutes.

1:33:251:33:27

-Eight minutes?

-Twenty, Sire! Twenty minutes!

1:33:291:33:34

Twenty minutes of continuous music! No recitatives!

1:33:341:33:39

MOZART GIGGLES

1:33:391:33:41

Only opera can do this! In a play, if people speak together, it's NOISE, no-one can understand!

1:33:411:33:48

But with opera, with MUSIC...

1:33:481:33:51

..you can have 20 individuals talking at once and it's not noise, it's a perfect harmony!

1:33:511:33:58

Music is not the issue. It's your judgement of literature that is in question.

1:34:001:34:06

< Even with the politics removed, this thing would still remain a vulgar farce.

1:34:061:34:13

Why waste your spirit on this? You COULD choose elevated themes.

1:34:131:34:18

Oh, ELEVATED(!) What does that mean?

1:34:181:34:22

I am fed to the TEETH with all of these...ELEVATED things!

1:34:221:34:28

Old dead legends(!)

1:34:281:34:30

-Why must we go on forever writing about them?!

-Because THEY do.

1:34:301:34:37

They go on FOREVER!

1:34:371:34:40

They represent the eternal in US!

1:34:401:34:43

< Opera is here to enoble us!

1:34:431:34:47

You and me, just like His Majesty.

1:34:471:34:50

Bello, bello! Veramente.

1:34:501:34:53

Oh, bello(!) Come on, be honest...

1:34:531:34:58

..who wouldn't rather listen to his hairdresser than Hercules, or Orpheus?!

1:34:581:35:04

People so lofty, they shit marble!

1:35:041:35:08

WHAT?!

1:35:091:35:10

GIGGLES Hold your tongue, Mozart!

1:35:101:35:14

Forgive me, Majesty.

1:35:181:35:21

I am a vulgar man... but, I assure you, my music is not!

1:35:231:35:28

You ARE passionate, Mozart.

1:35:311:35:34

But, you do not...persuade.

1:35:371:35:39

Sire, the whole opera is finished.

1:35:421:35:44

Do you know how much WORK that is?

1:35:441:35:47

His Majesty has been more than patient, signore.

1:35:491:35:54

-How can I persuade you, if you won't let me show it?

-That will do, Herr Mozart.

1:35:541:36:02

.

2:59:502:59:57

Just let me tell you how it begins!

3:00:023:00:04

May I just show you that, Majesty?

3:00:043:00:07

Just that?

3:00:073:00:09

Please.

3:00:133:00:15

Look, there's a servant down on his knees.

3:00:153:00:20

Why? Not from oppression - he's measuring a space.

3:00:203:00:24

Do you know what for...? His bed! His wedding bed!

3:00:243:00:29

To see if it will fit!

3:00:293:00:32

OPENING OF "THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO"

3:00:323:00:36

-Cinque...

-Late!

3:00:403:00:42

-Dieci!

-Late!

3:00:433:00:45

-On the beat!

-Venti!

-Good!

3:00:453:00:48

-Trenta!

-Yes.

3:00:493:00:52

-Trentasei!

-Yes.

3:00:523:00:55

Quarantatre!

3:00:553:00:57

-# Orasi...

-Early!

-..ch'io son contenta... #

3:00:573:01:04

Well, Mozart is already rehearsing.

3:01:043:01:07

In that case, gentlemen, I think...

3:01:123:01:17

..we should help Mozart all we can.

3:01:193:01:21

And do our best to protect him against the Emperor's anger.

3:01:243:01:29

-What anger?

-About the ballet.

3:01:293:01:32

What ballet?

3:01:343:01:36

Excuse me, but...didn't His Majesty specifically forbid the ballet in his opera?

3:01:363:01:44

'ECCO LA MARCIA' FROM 'THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO'

3:01:443:01:49

Mozart...

3:02:173:02:19

-Herr Mozart...!

-Yes?

-A word, please.

3:02:193:02:23

Certainly, Director.

3:02:233:02:25

Now, Mozart!

3:02:253:02:27

Five minutes, please. Five minutes!

3:02:273:02:31

-Yes?

-Do you not know that His Majesty has expressly forbidden ballet in his operas?

3:02:333:02:40

It's not a ballet, it's Figaro's wedding dance.

3:02:403:02:45

Surely His Majesty didn't mean dancing that's part of the story?

3:02:453:02:48

It's dangerous to interpret edicts. Give me your score, please.

3:02:483:02:53

Thank you.

3:03:023:03:04

What are you doing, Herr Director?

3:03:073:03:10

-What are you doing?!

-Taking out what should not be in.

3:03:103:03:15

Please... Please, I've no-one else to turn to.

3:03:153:03:19

-What is it?

-It's unbelievable. Herr Director has torn up parts of my music!

3:03:193:03:26

They say I have to rewrite the opera!

3:03:263:03:30

But it's PERFECT as it is!

3:03:303:03:33

I can't rewrite what's perfect!

3:03:343:03:37

Please... Can't you talk to them?

3:03:393:03:42

-Please!

-Why bother with Rosenberg? He's obviously no friend of yours.

3:03:433:03:48

I could KILL him! REALLY kill him!

3:03:483:03:51

-I threw the whole score on the fire, I was so angry!

-You BURNED it?

3:03:533:03:59

No. My wife took it out in time.

3:04:003:04:03

Thank God.

3:04:043:04:06

THAT man should not have power over our work!

3:04:063:04:11

Others have power over him.

3:04:133:04:16

I think I'll take this up with the Emperor.

3:04:183:04:22

Excellency...

3:04:223:04:24

..would you?

3:04:243:04:27

With all my heart, Mozart.

3:04:273:04:30

Oh, thank you! Thank you!

3:04:323:04:35

Please, Herr Mozart. "This is not a holy relic!"

3:04:353:04:40

GIGGLES

3:04:403:04:41

I don't need to tell you I said nothing whatever to the Emperor.

3:04:413:04:46

I went to the theatre to see Mozart.

3:04:463:04:49

'ECCO LA MARCIA' PERFORMED WITHOUT ACCOMPANIMENT

3:04:493:04:53

Then, suddenly, in the middle of the third act,

3:04:533:04:57

to my astonishment, the Emperor, who never saw rehearsals, appeared!

3:04:573:05:03

THEY DANCE IN SILENCE

3:05:103:05:15

What is this?

3:05:213:05:23

I don't understand. Is it modern?

3:05:273:05:31

Majesty, Herr Direttore has removed uno balleto

3:05:323:05:37

that would have occurred at this place.

3:05:373:05:42

-Why?

-It is your regulations, Sire.

3:05:433:05:47

No ballet in your opera.

3:05:473:05:49

Salieri...

3:05:563:05:57

..do YOU like this?

3:05:583:06:01

It's not a question of liking. Your law decrees it.

3:06:033:06:08

Well, LOOK at them!

3:06:103:06:13

Oh, no, no, no! This is nonsense!

3:06:153:06:19

-Let me see the scene with the music.

-But, Sire...

3:06:193:06:23

-Oblige me!

-Yes, Your Majesty.

3:06:233:06:26

-Can we see the scene with the music BACK, please?

-Certainly, Herr Director!

3:06:353:06:42

Bring the palace set back in!

3:06:483:06:50

WEDDING DANCE

3:06:503:06:54

The restored third act was bold, brilliant!

3:07:263:07:31

The fourth...

3:07:313:07:33

..was astounding!

3:07:353:07:38

'AH TUTTI CONTENTI' FROM 'THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO'

3:07:383:07:42

I saw a woman, disguised in her maid's clothes,

3:07:463:07:50

hear her husband speak the first tender words to her in years

3:07:503:07:56

because he thinks she is someone else.

3:07:563:07:59

I heard the music of full forgiveness FILLING the theatre,

3:07:593:08:06

conferring, on all who sat there, perfect absolution.

3:08:063:08:11

God was singing through this little man to all the world.

3:08:113:08:18

Unstoppable! Making my defeat more bitter with every passing bar.

3:08:183:08:23

# Ah tutti contenti

3:08:273:08:33

# Saremo cosi,

3:08:343:08:41

# Saremo cosi,

3:08:423:08:50

# Ah tu-tti contenti saremo cosi, # Ah tutti contenti saremo cosi... #

3:08:503:09:02

Then, do you know what happened?

3:09:023:09:05

A miracle!

3:09:083:09:09

That yawn turned my defeat into victory!

3:09:163:09:20

And Mozart was lucky the Emperor yawned only once! Three yawns and the opera failed that night!

3:09:273:09:35

Two yawns was a week at most. But with one yawn, the composer could still get...

3:09:353:09:42

NINE performances, and withdrawn!

3:09:443:09:47

I know...I know! It's outrageous.

3:09:483:09:52

Still, if the public doesn't like one's work...

3:09:533:09:58

-..one must accept it.

-But WHAT is it they don't like?!

3:09:583:10:03

I can speak for the Emperor. You demand too much from the Royal ear!

3:10:033:10:09

The man can't concentrate for more than an hour - you gave him FOUR!

3:10:093:10:14

What did you think of it?

3:10:193:10:22

Did you like it at all?

3:10:223:10:24

I thought it was marvellous.

3:10:253:10:28

Of course! It's the best opera yet written!

3:10:293:10:33

I KNOW it!

3:10:333:10:36

Why didn't they come?

3:10:373:10:40

I think you overestimate our dear Viennese, my friend!

3:10:403:10:45

You didn't have a bang after songs to let them know when to clap!

3:10:453:10:51

I know! Maybe you should give me some lessons in that!

3:10:533:10:57

(I wouldn't presume.)

3:10:583:11:01

However, at the risk of imposing, I'd like you to see my new piece.

3:11:053:11:10

-It would be a great honour for me.

-Oh, no. The honour is all mine!

3:11:123:11:17

Grazie, Wolfgang.

3:11:193:11:22

Grazie a lei, Signor Antonio.

3:12:403:12:42

..it is the BEST opera yet written!

3:12:443:12:48

Salieri, you are the brightest star in the musical firmament.

3:12:523:12:59

You bring honour to Vienna and me!

3:12:593:13:01

Herr Mozart!

3:13:263:13:28

-Good of you to come.

-How could I not?

3:13:283:13:32

H...h...how... Did my work please you?

3:13:323:13:36

I never knew that music like that was possible!

3:13:383:13:42

You flatter me.

No. One hears such sounds and what can one say but...Salieri!

3:13:593:14:03

I've brought more! Stanzi, you remember my friend Schikaneder?

3:14:033:14:08

Come in! Don't be shy! This is a very nice girl...

3:14:083:14:13

-And this is also...

-Wolfie?

-Yes, my love?

3:14:133:14:18

-These gentlemen are from Salzburg.

-Salzburg?!

3:14:183:14:22

-We were just TALKING of Salzburg!

-Wolfie...

3:14:223:14:26

Your father is dead.

3:14:273:14:30

CRASHING CHORDS FROM 'DON GIOVANNI' SIGNALLING THE COMMENDATORE'S ENTRY

3:14:343:14:41

So rose the dreadful ghost from his next, and blackest, opera.

3:14:523:14:57

On stage, stood a dead commander.

3:15:033:15:07

-And I knew...only

-I

-understood

3:15:073:15:10

that the horrifying apparition was Leopold raised from the dead!

3:15:103:15:16

# Ma faro quelche potro.

3:15:163:15:22

# Leporello, un altra cena

3:15:223:15:26

# Fache subito si porti! # Ah, padron!

3:15:263:15:30

# Ah, padron! Siam tutti morti!

3:15:303:15:36

# Vanne, dico!

3:15:363:15:39

# Ferma un po... #

3:15:393:15:44

Mozart had summoned up his father

3:15:453:15:47

to accuse his son before all the world!

3:15:473:15:52

It was...terrifying AND wonderful to watch.

3:15:533:15:58

# Chi si pasce di cibo celeste.

3:15:583:16:10

# Altre cure

3:16:113:16:17

# Piu gravi di queste,

# Altra brama

3:16:243:16:30

# Quaggiu mi guido!

3:16:303:16:39

# La terzana d'avere mi sembra...

3:16:433:16:47

3:16:523:16:58

-THE SCENE BUILDS TO A CRESCENDO

-And now...

3:16:583:17:02

..the madness began in me!

3:17:073:17:10

The madness of a man split in half!

3:17:123:17:16

Through my influence, I saw to it that 'Don Giovanni' was played only five times.

3:17:163:17:23

But, in secret, I went to EVERY ONE of those five!

3:17:233:17:29

Worshipping the sound that I alone seemed to hear!

3:17:293:17:35

# Cos'hai? # Che gelo e questo mai!

3:17:353:17:38

# Pentiti, cangia vita; e l'ultimo momento!

3:17:393:17:45

# No, no, ch'io non me pento,

3:17:453:17:50

# Vanne lontan da me!

3:17:503:17:54

# Pentiti, scellerato!

3:17:543:17:58

# No, vecchio infatuato!

3:17:583:18:02

# Pentiti! # No!

3:18:023:18:05

# Pentiti! # No!

3:18:053:18:08

# Si! # No!

3:18:083:18:12

# Si! # No!

3:18:123:18:14

# Si! # Si! # No!

3:18:143:18:18

# No! #

3:18:183:18:20

As I stood there, I understood.

3:18:203:18:23

That bitter old man was still possessing his son, even from BEYOND the grave!

3:18:233:18:31

I began to see a way, a TERRIBLE way, I could finally triumph over God!

3:18:313:18:38

# Di foco pien d'orror?

3:18:403:18:44

# Tutto a tue colpe e poco,

3:18:443:18:48

# Vieni, c'e un mal peggior! # Chi l'anima mi lacera?

3:18:493:18:55

# Che ceffo disperato!

3:18:553:18:59

# Che starzio ohime, che smania!

3:18:593:19:03

# Che inferno! # Come mi fa terror!

3:19:033:19:07

# Tutto a tue colpe e poco! # Chi l'anima mi lacera?

3:19:073:19:13

# Vieni, c'e un mal peggior! # Chi m'agita le viscere?

3:19:133:19:19

# Che strazio, ohime, che smania!

3:19:193:19:23

# Ah! # Vieni!

3:19:233:19:26

# Che terror! # Vieni, c'e un mal peggior!

3:19:263:19:30

PIANO CONCERTO IN D MINOR

3:20:003:20:05

< KNOCKING

3:21:183:21:21

Herr Mozart?

3:21:413:21:43

-I have come to commission a work from you.

-What work?

3:21:453:21:50

A mass for the dead.

3:21:503:21:53

What dead? Who is dead?

3:21:543:21:57

A man who deserved a Requiem Mass,

3:21:583:22:01

-and never got one.

-Who are you?

3:22:013:22:04

I am only a messenger. Do you accept?

3:22:043:22:08

You will be well paid.

3:22:083:22:11

Do you accept?

3:22:183:22:21

Work fast, and be sure to tell no-one what you do. You will see me again.

3:22:313:22:38

Wolfie?

3:23:133:23:15

My plan was so simple.

3:23:243:23:27

And it terrified me.

3:23:293:23:31

First, I must get the Death Mass, and then I...

3:23:333:23:37

..I must achieve his death.

3:23:383:23:41

What?

3:23:423:23:44

His funeral!

3:23:443:23:46

Imagine it...the cathedral, all Vienna sitting there,

3:23:473:23:53

his coffin, Mozart's little coffin in the middle...

3:23:533:23:57

..and then, in that silence...

3:23:583:24:02

..music!

3:24:043:24:06

-REQUIEM STARTS

-A DIVINE music bursts out over them all!

3:24:063:24:14

A great Mass of DEATH!

3:24:143:24:17

A Requiem Mass for Wolfgang Mozart...

3:24:183:24:22

..composed by his DEVOTED friend...

3:24:223:24:26

..Antonio Salieri!

3:24:273:24:30

Oh, what sublimity! What depth! What PASSION in the music!

3:24:303:24:37

Salieri has been touched by God at last!

3:24:383:24:43

And God FORCED to listen!

3:24:433:24:46

Powerless to choose! Powerless to stop it!

3:24:463:24:50

I, for once, laughing at HIM!

3:24:503:24:53

REQUIEM SOARS TO A CRESCENDO

3:24:533:24:57

The only thing that worried me was the actual killing.

3:25:013:25:06

How does one do that? Eh?

3:25:063:25:08

How does one kill a man?

3:25:083:25:11

It's one thing to dream about it,

3:25:133:25:16

but very different when you...

3:25:173:25:20

..when you have to do it...

3:25:213:25:24

..with your own hands.

-All good fun!

3:29:343:29:40

I liked the horse.

3:29:403:29:43

I tell you, if you'd played 'Don Giovanni' here,

3:29:523:29:57

you would've had a great success!

3:29:573:30:01

You belong HERE, not the snobby Court!

3:30:013:30:05

Do as you want! The more fantastic, the better! People want fantasy!

You write a proper part for me and a couple of catchy songs,

I GUARANTEE you a Triumph Deluxe!

-What do you say?

-What will you pay?

3:30:223:30:25

Ah! I see you brought your manager with you!

3:30:263:30:30

Well, madame... How about HALF the receipts?

3:30:333:30:39

-Half the receipts?! Stanzi!

-I'm talking about NOW. How much NOW?

3:30:393:30:45

-Down payment.

-Down payment?!

3:30:453:30:48

Who do you think I am? The Emperor?

3:30:493:30:52

Whoops! I have to go. Stay here and enjoy this next one.

3:30:523:30:57

-You're not going to do this.

-Why not? Half the house!

-When?

3:30:593:31:04

-We need money now! Either he pays now or you don't do it!

-Oh, Stanzi!

-I don't trust him.

3:31:043:31:10

-And he made your opera common!

-Well, you liked it, didn't you, monkey-punkey?

3:31:103:31:17

Half the house(!) You'll never see a penny! I want it IN my hand!

3:31:173:31:22

Stanzi, I'll put it in your hand!

3:31:223:31:25

Shut up! You won't put anything in my hand, until I see some money!

3:31:253:31:29

It's embarassing

3:31:293:31:31

Can't you think of anyone who could do something for him?

3:31:313:31:34

I'm afraid Mozart is a lost cause.

3:31:363:31:39

He has succeeded in alienating practically the whole of Vienna.

3:31:413:31:44

He never pays his debts.

3:31:443:31:47

I can't think of anyone to whom I dare recommend him.

3:31:473:31:50

Herr Mozart, what a surprise!

3:31:503:31:54

What can I do for you?

3:31:563:31:58

Is my pupil still interested in learning the art of music?

3:31:583:32:03

Your pupil is married and living in Mannheim, young man.

3:32:063:32:09

Really?

3:32:113:32:12

HE LAUGHS

3:32:133:32:14

Perhaps your dear wife might care to profit from my instruction.

3:32:173:32:23

What is it, Mozart? What's the matter with you?

3:32:233:32:27

Well, since it appears no one is eager to hire my services,

3:32:273:32:33

could you favour me with a little money instead?

3:32:333:32:37

What for?

3:32:423:32:43

If a man cannot earn, he must borrow.

3:32:453:32:47

It's hardly the way to go about it.

3:32:523:32:54

You are right, sir.

3:32:553:32:57

You are right.

3:32:573:32:58

But, you see, I am endowed with talent and you with money.

3:32:583:33:03

If I offer mine, you should offer yours.

3:33:033:33:07

I'm sorry. No.

3:33:113:33:13

Please.

3:33:163:33:18

My answer is no, Mozart.

3:33:183:33:21

Please!

Please!

# Sarastro's life be taken!

3:46:243:46:32

# Hark! Hark! HARK!

3:46:323:46:40

# Gods of vengeance!

3:46:403:46:42

'DAS KLINGET SO HERRLICH, DAS KLINGET SO SCHON' STARTS ON THE GLOCKENSPIEL

3:47:113:47:18

-#

-A sweetheart or a pretty wife,

3:47:243:47:26

-#

-Is Papageno's wish.

3:47:263:47:30

-#

-A willing, billing lovey-dovey would be my most tasty little dish!

3:47:303:47:35

-#

-Be my most tasty little dish!

3:47:353:47:39

-#

-Be my most tasty little dish!

3:47:393:47:42

-#

-That would be eating and drinking. I'd live like a prince without thinking.

3:47:483:47:54

-#

-The wisdom of old would be mine.

3:47:543:47:57

-#

-A woman's much better than wine!

3:47:573:48:00

-#

-Then that would...be eating... and drinking!

3:48:003:48:06

-#

-The wisdom of old would be mine. A woman's much better than wine!

3:48:083:48:14

-#

-Much better than wine... Much better than wine...

-#

3:48:153:48:19

Pick him up! PICK HIM UP!

3:48:313:48:34

Come with me! You, follow me!

3:48:373:48:40

-Is it over?

-Yes, yes, it's over.

3:49:063:49:10

GO!

3:49:123:49:13

-#

-Pa! Pa-pa!

-Pa! Pa-pa!

3:49:213:49:25

-#

-Pa, pa, pa, pa!

-Pa, pa, pa, pa!

3:49:253:49:29

CLUCK AND ANSWER IN DIFFERENT RHYTHMS

3:49:293:49:37

-#

-Will you be mine forever?

-Yes, I will be yours forever... #

3:49:373:49:43

Go, go!

3:49:533:49:55

GO! GO!

3:49:563:49:59

(Where is your wife?)

3:50:253:50:27

Where is your wife?

3:50:303:50:32

She's not well either. She went to the spa.

3:50:323:50:37

You are so good to me...truly.

3:50:413:50:44

-Thank you.

-No, please, please.

3:50:443:50:49

No, I mean, to come to my opera.

3:50:493:50:52

You are the only colleague who came.

3:50:553:50:58

Oh, Mozart! Mozart, I would never miss ANYTHING you had written!

3:51:013:51:06

-It's just vaudeville!

-No, no! It's a SUBLIME piece!

3:51:063:51:13

The grandest Oberon!

3:51:133:51:17

I tell you, you are the greatest composer known to me!

3:51:253:51:31

(Do you mean it?)

3:51:343:51:36

< KNOCKING

3:51:363:51:40

It's him!

3:51:403:51:43

-Who?

-The man.

-< LOUDER KNOCKING

-He's here.

3:51:433:51:47

Tell him to go away.

3:51:493:51:52

Tell him I'm still working on it. Don't let him in!

3:51:523:51:57

Wait!

3:51:583:51:59

Ask him if he'd give me some money. Tell him if he could it would help me to finish it.

3:51:593:52:06

-Salieri?!

-Yes.

3:52:263:52:29

-C-could we come in?

-You'd better not. He's sleeping.

3:52:293:52:34

-He's all right though?

-Oh, yes. He's just exhausted. He became dizzy.

3:52:343:52:40

-That's all.

-Well, tell him we came by.

3:52:403:52:44

-Of course.

-Oh...and give him this. That's his share.

3:52:443:52:50

-That should cheer him up!

-Indeed! And now, goodnight to you all. It was...perfection, truly!

3:52:503:52:58

What happened?

3:53:093:53:12

He said to give you this.

3:53:193:53:22

And, if you finish the work by tomorrow night, he will pay you another 100 ducats.

3:53:223:53:29

Another...?

3:53:313:53:33

That's too soon, tomorrow night!

3:53:333:53:37

It's impossible!

3:53:373:53:39

Did he say a hundred?

3:53:423:53:45

Yes.

3:53:453:53:46

It's too soon!

3:53:513:53:54

-(Can I...) Could

-I

-help you?

3:53:563:53:59

Would you?

3:54:023:54:04

Actually, you could.

3:54:063:54:09

I want to go! Where? To Vienna!

3:54:163:54:20

STANZI: I want to go now!

3:54:203:54:24

Why? I feel wrong!

3:54:243:54:27

I feel wrong being here!

3:54:283:54:31

-Where did I stop?

-At the end of the Recordare.

3:54:333:54:37

So... Confutatis maledictis flammis acribus addictis...

3:54:373:54:42

..flammis acribus addictis...

3:54:423:54:45

How would you translate that?

3:54:453:54:48

-Consign to flames of woe.

-Do you believe in it?

3:54:483:54:54

-What?

-A fire which never dies, burning you forever.

3:54:543:54:59

Oh, yes!

3:55:013:55:04

Is it possible?

3:55:043:55:06

Come, let's begin.

3:55:063:55:08

-We ended in F major.

-Yes.

3:55:103:55:13

So, now... A minor...

3:55:133:55:15

A minor...

3:55:223:55:24

Yes...?

3:55:243:55:25

Confutatis, A minor...

3:55:273:55:30

-Start with the voices. Bass - second beat...

3:56:053:56:08

CHOIR SINGS THE BASS PART IN HIS HEAD

3:56:123:56:18

Good...good!

-identical notes and rhythm...

-BASSOON PART PLAYS

3:56:563:57:00

3:57:073:57:11

-Do you have it?

-Too fast!

-DO you?

3:57:113:57:14

-Tenor trombone...?

-With the tenors!

-Identical?

3:57:143:57:18

-Yes, they double the voices! Now, trumpets and timpani...

-No!

3:57:183:57:23

-I don't UNDERSTAND!

-Listen to me!

3:57:233:57:26

Trumpets in D, tonic and dominant, first and third beats... It goes with the HARMONY!

3:57:263:57:34

THE TRUMPET PART PLAYS

3:57:343:57:38

YES! Yes! Yes, yes!

3:57:403:57:44

I understand! And that's all?

3:57:513:57:54

No, now for the fire! Strings in unison, ostinato on A.

3:57:543:57:58

-Like this...

-VIOLINS BURST INTO LIFE

3:57:583:58:01

The next measure is rising...

3:58:023:58:05

-Do you have it?

-Yes, I think so!

3:58:053:58:08

-Show me!

-THEY BOTH SING WITH THE VIOLINS PLAYING IN THEIR HEADS

3:58:083:58:13

-It's wonderful!

-Yes, yes. Go on. Voca me.

3:58:163:58:19

Sotto voce.

3:58:223:58:24

-Write that down! Sotto voce...

-Yes, yes.

3:58:253:58:29

-Pianissimo?

-Yes.

3:58:293:58:32

C major. Sopranos and altos in thirds. Altos on C, sopranos above.

3:58:343:58:41

ANGELIC VOICES SING VOCA ME

3:58:413:58:47

-#

-Voca me cum benedictis...

3:58:473:58:53

-Sopranos on F on the second 'voca'?

-Yes, and on 'dictus'! Underneath, violin arpeggios.

3:58:533:59:00

Descending scale in eighth notes and then back to the ostinato.

3:59:003:59:05

-That's it! Do you have it?

-You go too fast!

-Do you HAVE it?

-One moment!

3:59:053:59:11

Yes.

3:59:133:59:14

Good! Show me the whole thing!

3:59:143:59:17

THE PARTS FUSE TOGETHER AND THE CONFUTATIS FLARES INTO LIFE

3:59:233:59:29

MOZART SINGS VOCA ME WITH THE HEAVENLY CHOIR

3:59:423:59:49

(Do you want to rest a bit?)

4:01:154:01:17

No! No, I'm not tired at all!

4:01:184:01:21

-We'll stop a moment, then finish the Lacrymosa.

-I can keep going!

4:01:264:01:33

Will you stay while I sleep?

4:01:334:01:36

I'm not leaving you.

4:01:374:01:40

I'm so ashamed!

4:01:484:01:50

Of what?

4:01:514:01:53

I was foolish! I...I thought you did not care for my work!

4:01:534:02:00

Or me either.

4:02:004:02:02

(Forgive me.)

4:02:054:02:07

(Forgive me.)

4:02:114:02:13

What are YOU doing here?

4:03:084:03:10

Your husband took sick.

4:03:134:03:16

I brought him home.

4:03:174:03:20

Why you?

4:03:204:03:22

-Because, madame,

-I

-was at hand.

4:03:234:03:26

Well, thank you. You can go now.

4:03:314:03:34

-He needs me, ma'am.

-No, he doesn't. And I don't want you here.

4:03:364:03:42

Just go.

4:03:424:03:44

-He asked me to stay.

-And I'm...

4:03:444:03:48

Wolfie.

4:04:044:04:06

Wolfie?

4:04:114:04:13

I'm back!

4:04:154:04:17

I missed you SO much!

4:04:214:04:23

If you'd just... show me that you need me!

4:04:284:04:33

< And I'll try and do better, too.

4:04:394:04:42

What is this?

4:04:544:04:56

No, Wolfie, not this!

4:04:584:05:01

Not THIS!

4:05:014:05:03

You're not to work on this ever again!

4:05:054:05:09

I've decided!

4:05:114:05:13

This is not his handwriting.

4:05:154:05:18

It's mine! I was assisting him.

4:05:214:05:24

Well, he's not to work on this any more!

4:05:254:05:29

-It's making him ill!

-But...

4:05:294:05:32

Goodnight.

4:05:334:05:35

I regret we have no servants to show you out, Herr Salieri.

4:05:394:05:44

-Please respect my wish and go.

-Madame, I will respect HIS.

4:05:444:05:50

Wolfie?

4:05:534:05:55

Wolfie...

4:05:574:05:59

Wolfie?

4:06:034:06:04

Wolfie!

4:06:074:06:10

Wolfie!

4:06:124:06:14

WOLFIE!

4:06:154:06:17

WOLFIE!

4:06:174:06:20

THE SOLEMN QUIET LACRYMOSA FROM THE REQUIEM MASS

4:06:204:06:27

In nomine Patris,

4:08:424:08:44

et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

4:08:444:08:48

Amen.

4:08:584:09:00

Your MERCIFUL God(!)

4:09:474:09:50

He destroyed His own beloved,

4:09:504:09:54

rather than let a mediocrity share in the smallest part of His glory!

4:09:544:10:01

He killed Mozart,

4:10:014:10:04

and kept me alive to torture!

4:10:044:10:07

32 years of torture! 32 years of slowly watching myself become extinct!

4:10:074:10:15

My music...growing fainter, all the time, fainter.

4:10:154:10:22

Till no-one plays it at all.

4:10:224:10:25

And HIS...

4:10:254:10:28

< 'Morning, Professor!

4:10:284:10:30

Time for the water closet.

4:10:304:10:34

Then we have your favourite - sugar rolls! He loves those!

4:10:344:10:39

-< Fresh sugar rolls.

-I will speak for you, Father.

4:10:394:10:44

I speak for ALL mediocrities in the world.

4:10:444:10:48

I am their champion.

4:10:484:10:51

I am their patron saint!

4:10:514:10:54

Mediocrities everywhere, I absolve you!

4:11:044:11:09

I absolve you!

4:11:114:11:14

I absolve you!

4:11:144:11:16

I absolve you!

4:11:184:11:21

I absolve you!
