Mozart argues for Figaro

Mozart argues to Emperor Joseph that he should be allowed to produce "The Marriage of Figaro"
ingenious script
Kmale76 is spot on about the irony of Salieri being the only one to recognize the godlike incarnation that was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Despite his comparative lack of talent, Salieri was clearly a divine judge of composition. One can argue the greatest composer ever. What must be indisputable is that Mozart was the most GIFTED of them all. At a pre-school age, he was creating compositions men decades his senior couldn't comprehend. While men like Bach and Beethoven lived to a vast old age, Mozart died at 35 years old !! In that short duration of time, he redefined the parameters of what was musically possible. The dynamic of Salieri's seething jealousy of Mozart elevates Amadeus to a level of filmmaking rarely if ever seen. Never has the film concept of antagonist vs. the protagonist played out more beautifully in a film. Anchored by the non pareil performances of F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce in the leading roles. Both men shift seamlessly from cold blooded to comic at the drop of an 18 century head bonnet. No pair of actors ever played better off each other than Hulce and Abraham. And none ever could. Amadeus is a classic for the ages.
Beautiful, what a movie.
In this movie, Kaizer Joseph is depicted as an emperor who is very polite, patient, and really respects people
Mozart's passion and excitement for the music intrigues and wins over the King. There's a lot to be said for passion.
"I'm a vulgar man ...but I assure you, my music 🎶 is not" 😅
One of the courtmen arguing with Mozart about the opera was the baron van Swieten, the one who wrote the librettos for The Creation and The Seasons for Joseph Haydn. Very important at his time. And those librettos are marvelous!
I wonder if everyone realizes that this is a fictionalized account …
I cannot help but shed tears of how beautiful the 4th act was. As a musician myself I have a love for music as divine as this. 😢
Viva Mozart❤
I’m in tears this scene was what started my classical music journey before I hated classical music I thought it was boring but Mozart’s music was just so inducing I could not resist it. I believe if I had never watched this film I would not be here today because I had nothing to live for before classical music entered my life. I only wish I could thank him (Mozart) in person his music literally saved my life, he will always be my favorite composer for this reason.
The truth is that Mozart's opera was very popular and the first night it had multiple encores. 🎉🎉🎉
This scene is ridiculous. I love the movie but it is pure fiction and full of idiotic scenes.....I nevertheless love 😊😊😂 Joseph II couldn't afford to refuse the Nozze because it was a huge success ( thanks to his sister) all over Europe and particularly among Austrian nobles. This beautiful movie is PURE fiction.
Well, the play really was banned in Vienna. It was Da Ponte who argued to the emperor that the opera should be allowed. The movie is mostly fiction, but makes use of historical facts here and there. Mozart's love of fart-jokes is accurate for instance, though I greatly doubt he would have made vulgar comments to the emperor.
@@teresagardiner153 1) you are right but you forget that it was not Da Ponte's words that convinced the Emperor. It was the popularity of the play among his nobles. Da Ponte has never had an influence on the court of Vienna. 2) The fart and poop jokes were very common in Mozart's time. It has nothing to o with Mozart 's personnality. His wife and many nobles used them. 3) Shaffer's Amadeus is a theft. He used Mozart's fame to advance his proper fame by constantly lying about him, to please the audience. He could have used a fictional character and the movie would have been as good, but of course using Mozart was a far easiest road. Read about Mozart's real life and you will find that Shaeffer is a crook. NEARLY EVERYTHING in this good movie is fictional and has nothing to do with Mozart's life.
@@antoinemozart243 I know that bathroom humor was common at the time, but that doesn't mean it wasn't part of his personality. Everything you do is part of your personality. I'm not aware of Constanze indulging in fart-jokes. I wouldn't be surprised if she did, but her letters to Mozart haven't survived, and none of her surviving letters include vulgar humor, as far as I know. They could have made a movie about fictional characters, but then they'd have to compose the music themselves, and it probably wouldn't be as great as Mozart. Also, a famous name is better for marketing.
@@teresagardiner153 No, it wasn't part of his personnality. Like food, religion, composition styles, language's habits are not part of our personnality. We integrate them. Mozart was initiated as a free mason. It was not part of his "personnality". It was just necessary for his career as nearly all of his influential friends were initiated, like Haydn. Dirty jokes were common if you read letters , not only of the Mozart's but from the people who had the same status. It has NOTHING to do with his "personality". Sorry. And if you consider marketing by stealing the name and fame of an historic person as a badge of authenticity, I absolutely don't agree. Because, for commercial purposes, it abuses people .
@@antoinemozart243 I'm not sure why you think that learned behavior shouldn't count as part of someone's personality. Most of our behavior is probably learned, on some level. Crude humor is pretty common in our culture nowadays as well, but not everyone likes it. Most people do some things that are common but don't do other common things. Why? Personality. Not everyone in the 18th century liked dirty humor, because not everyone had the same personality. It's also worth pointing out that fart-jokes are *especially* common in Mozart's letters. His sister Nannerl used vulgar humor in only one of her letters, and not at all in her extensive diaries. Their parents used it more frequently than Nannerl, but still not as frequently as Mozart. That's because it was simply a more prevalent part of Mozart's personality.
wow a 16 year old video

0:15 does this refer to Marie Antoinette who would later be executed?
No one else. Marriage of Figaro was composed in 1786.
Ironie de l'Histoire , c'est la légèreté des Noces , qui survit à toutes les violences qui ont si longtemps opposées France et Autriche sur les terrains militaires. La Vie qui passe se moque bien des conflits du moment , l'art du beau , ici porté par un opéra , survit à tout . Merci à Wolfgang , pour longtemps encore.
The wrong actor won the Oscar for this movie.
Too many notes! Yes that’s it, too many notes. I represent all mediocrity! Bless you.
''With that yawn, , ," Salieri is such a scumbag. He's filth and always will be.
Often REvisiting the movie Amadeus, this spectcular description by Salieri, and this is the one that captures it from that scene so descriptively, its a shame it hasnt been remastered in hd or 4-8k
I’m being recommended these 16 year old uploads all of a sudden. Amazing. We’ll have 20 year old UA-cam videos soon.
This is my favorite opera. I hate to imagine it could have been blocked by the king for trivial reasons.
It was impossible to block. Joseph II was perfectly aware of his inability to block it. The Shaffer scenario is ridiculous but necessary for non specialists.
It is not trivial at all considering the turmoil in Europe at the time.
Each singers involvement are so harmonously included in the structure of the song - brilliant !
Just like the actors throughout the movie!
Has to be the most wonderful scene in the movie Script and Music
Great scene. But I don't understand why the filmmakers decided to have Mozart explain the beginning of the opera when it's the same as the beginning of the play! Emperor Joseph seemingly knows what it's about--right?
I'm sure many artists can relate to Mozart in this scene, having to fight for your vision against ignorant people/rules.
so...U know some demokkkratz, then...
Imagine artists having any sort of profound vision in 2023
@@Ben-hn4nw what?
You are very delusional my friend. If Mozart chose Figaro and did all he could with Ponte's help to mount it it is ONLY because the play was a massive success in Europe. Mozart was only looking for success, and the Emperor had to yield because Mozart and Da Ponte were aware of the popularity in Vienna of the play. Marie Antoinette did all she could to favour the play. You have a romantic stupid view of composition. And I say this because the Nozze is the best opera ever made.

Level of pettiness = Salieri
forgiveness is more bitter than the affront? Is the heaping of coals on one's head?
The emperor wanted to cry 😢 that’s why he did that.
Is a recording of this version available anywhere, does anyone know?
That unstopable word is so powerful
It did not last. Before the year was out, The Count was once again a slave to women, The Countess had a child by Cherubino, Susanna was untrue to Figaro, Young gallants went to bed with Barbarina. But for a moment, till the music faded, They were all ravished by a glimpse of heaven, Where everything is known and yet forgiven, And all that is not music is pure silence.
The Lord God himself really did project his taste in music into Mozart!
Salieri thought Mozart was given a gift of music from God, instead of him. The truth is Mozart was Gods gift to Salieri.
This film has too many scenes
The King yawns behind Mozart at 1:11. It’s the same yawn they show at the end of the scene. It’s hard to see here bc the video quality isn’t great, but I remember seeing it over and over on DVD thinking what an odd thing to use the yawn behind Mozart (mistakenly) during the high point of the scene AND at the end.
I never knew quality like this was possible!
I would just as soon listen to two hogs scuffling over a corn cob as any opera.
That's incredibly weird
@@DrJones20 Listening to opera caterwauling is as incredibly weird as listening to 2 hogs scuffling over a corn cob.

i want to be so moved by an opera that I must clutch a lace handkerchief close to my face! Nevertheless, I am moved... by this film! 🎬
What's amazing to me is the majority of commenters on these Amadeus clips tend to talk about Mozart's genius and the beauty of the movie but they often overlook the beauty of the music. I mean sure they will talk about it in passing but there's few real comments I've seen that seem to truly appreciate what Mozart created. I think the beauty of him wasn't necessarily the music but more the legacy of the music. And the idea that we could take what he created and make it more beautiful as time went on
The truth is not a lot of people really like his music. Most people can rattle off a bunch of Beethoven tunes, maybe a Bach piece or two, Claire De Lune for sure, but he doesn't really have a lot of memorable pieces like that. The Queen of the Night aria for sure, but if that one woman didn't sing it, nobody would know it. Even a lot of performers don't like his music. Everyone is forced to play it for recitals, and a lot of it is annoying, and very light and flighty. Nothing wrong with loving his work, but let's be real--people talk about the movie because that's all they know, and most won't go past that. Honestly, if they didn't hype Magic Flute in this movie beyond anything, would 99% of us have listened to it? A lot of people like the idea of Mozart, not the reality.
@@arryaxx263 I assume this is a joke. People love Mozart and he is enormously respected by most musicians. Mozart doesn't have a lot of memorable pieces? Holy shit dude. Eine Kleine Nachmusik. The Rondo Alla Turca from the Piano Sonata in A major, K. 331. The Lacrimosa from the Requiem. The Overture from the Marriage of Figaro. Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major. The first movement of Symphony No. 40 in G minor. "La ci darem la mano" from Don Giovanni. These are some of the most commonly referenced pieces of music in all of Western culture.
In addition, the Magic Flute is the least hyped of all operas in this film. We dont get a review of it by Salieri and we only see most characters in passing. The Magic Flute is one of the most well-known operas of all, especially in a German speaking country like the one I'm from.
Fuck I’m in tears again. My wife caught me time and time again looking on dating sites. I feel like if only I had seen her in a different light, I might have given her the love and devotion she deserves.
Bro this ain't a safe space for cheaters. Shut up lol
What is this piece/concerto?
This would make a funny Curb Your Enthusiasm bit, Salieri is Larry David and Mozart is Ted Danson
Hmmmm this little man is blessed by God because he makes the most beautiful music ever, I think I will hate and destroy him.
Stupendous
irony is that Tom Hulce and Theodor Pištěk haven't got the Oscars... those who where key to the success of this film. but it's probably a curse of mozart's gene🤔🤔
Countess forgives her husband. But I can't forgive the poor visual quality of the video.
Too many notes
Yawn
