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.
