Film quotes #9: Amadeus



SALIERI: Can you recall no melody of mine? I was the most famous composer in Europe. I wrote forty operas alone! [Suddenly inspired] Here, what about this one? 
[SALIERI begins to play the First Movement: Allegro of Eine kleine Nachtmusik on the piano. FATHER VOGLER instantly responds by singing the melody] 
FATHER VOGLER: [Happily] Yes, I know that! Oh, that's charming! I'm sorry, I didn't know you wrote that. 
SALIERI: I didn't. [Pause] That was Mozart. [Pause] Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
