Confutatis Amadeus movie plus scrolling music score
Vložit

- From Amadeus best clip ever. Mozart's Requiem is one of the most well-known musical compositions in the world, and Confutatis is a very good example of much of the musical technique that Mozart used that made him and many other musicians so successful.
We are in 1791, and Mozart has been seriously ill for over a year. Since he believes he has been poisoned with Aqua Tofana (a very slow poison) and thus sensing his end, he decided to compose his own Requiem. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
One point about the movie that is often overlooked is that salieri is a master too. He is one of the few who immediately recognizes and appreciates Mozarts full genius. And what he does in this scene, writing down the exact notes based on Mozarts very compressed instructions is very hard technically.
I agree, hear Salieri's gasp of amazement at 4:49 when Mozart says "arpeggios". He immediately knew they were the perfect addition
It never happened like this!
"From now on, we are enemies - You and I. Because You choose for Your instrument a boastful, lustful, smutty, infantile boy and give me for reward only the ability to recognize the incarnation."
Salieri was a grand Master and it wouldn't be that difficult for anyone on his level to fully orchestrate based on that few instructions.
It was common for composers to write short hands and abbreviations and left the rest for the player or the maestro to complete.
@@dougmaus4468 nope that was a gasp as in “ur going too fast”
Let's not forget that Salieri was HIGHLY respected in his time, unlike what the movie portrays. He taught theory to Beethoven and Schubert as well.
the point most people ignore is that this is fiction. Peter Schafer just used Mozard and Salieri as tropes to portray his metaphorical conflict between genius and mediocrity. By no means was Salieri ever mediocre and Mozart the superhuman musical genius in an infantile pervy man. Also, I doubt Mozart laughed like a chicken!
That said, this movie is one of the best of all time.
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461he was quite "infantile and pervy" though😂
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461in letters, his laugh was described as "Infectiously giddy" or "metal scraping glass"
The movie does portray Salieri being highly respected in his time, remember how the emperor reacts to all of his operas positively, whereas he always has some complaint or another with mozart's, it does however show that by the time that Salieri died, his music wasn't remembered as well, which was absolutely true.
@@alexandresobreiramartins9461 this movie's portrayal of mozart was pretty dead on historically, and i don't see a need to erase what you don't like about him. from his own letters to his family, he loved fart and shit jokes and as others have said, he had a cackling laugh. and i find that very endearing about him. and have you listened to salieri's music? i have and it's astounding how forgettable it is. to quote shakespeare, 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'
Whoever added the scrolling music sheet is also a genius.
Doesn't require a genius lol anyone with basic education can do thism
basic education in music
Whoever edited this originally with the score and highlighting the notes should get an award. If this had been in the original movie it would have elevated this scene ad infinitum.
Absolutely!! We'll said ! That would have been the cherry on top of this masterpiece!
This is Mozart not John Nash. 😂
@@Johnconno huh nobody said anything about John Nash
@@TheHolyMongolEmpireHe's referencing A Beautiful Mind where a similar visual happens.
Do you have any idea what editing program it could have been done with?
I was captivated by this scene as a kid without realizing just how well it's executed.
Same here! And I was lucky that my parents had the soundtrack album, so I could listen to it whenever I wanted.
This is NOT a movie you should’ve been watching as a kid. 💀
@@victorvillatoro7241 kids are watching titanic and lana Rhodes movies like cmon now
@@giovannieriksandu2432 doesn't change the fact you shouldn't be watching that stuff as a kid
@@victorvillatoro7241 I watched it as a kid and appreciated it back then. I appreciate it even more so now as an adult. I grew up learning classical instruments so maybe that was why it had such a profound effect on me.
Salieri's acting in this scene and whole movie is some of the best I've ever seen. He truly deserved the Oscar he got
F. Murray Abraham
Completely agree
I loved f Murray Abraham in The Bridge of San Luis Rey and Three Days of Rain. A masterful actor.
He's a really wonderful actor. I loved him in The Grand Budapest Hotel, too. He's not in it much, but when he's on screen he steals the whole show.
It's bad both were nominated for best actor cause both gave Oscar deserving performances.
In real history, it was actually one of his pupils, Franz Sussmayr sitting next to him, assisting the composition at that time. Although it probably wasn't as dramatic as the movie, I would like to believe that it must have been nights filled with flaming passion, burning his last remaining life into the music.
I had watched a video about Hayden and it was mentioned that Salieri conducted Mozart's requiem for Frans Joseph funeral

Franz Sussamyr his he's son
@@jamesmecs7627 Mozart yongest son's name was also Franz. Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart. It is known that Mozart named his son after his pupil, Sussmayr. Franz Sussmayr was one of his pupils and he is the one who finished the Requiem - especially Sanctus-Benedictus & Agnus Dei is his sole composition but it's believed that he did so by referencing many of Mozart work and instruction he left.
Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart also led his life as a composer but unfortunately, he wasn't as successful as his father. His work remained in the frame of classical age but the trend in his time already transitioned to Romantic age.
@@motherlandmars5999 then why were they all Christian lol
The fact that BOTH of them are able to hear the music while still on paper is so awesome, both minds connected. I love Salieri's face when he finally understands what Mozart is trying to do 3:35 "yes yes yes!"
in college, at grambling state university, there was a portion of the marching band that formed a quintet, and they all could do this. I play the piano. I am out of practice, but I could listen to a song and then go to the music hall and play the whole thing, but the trumpet player was just like Mozart. I would say write it down.
I miss those guys. lost touch after graduation.
I remember heard from TwoSetViolin that this is the ability music university teach. They said that is the foundation of music education
irl salieri also was a great composer. in the movie he totally forgets abt his plots and just stares in awe at what he is witnessing
Every composition major is expected to be able to do this to some extent. People are always blown away music could be heard internally by reading it, but what's really impressive is to be able to come up with such music in the first place.
All musicians can rad a score and
“Hear”. the music. We feel desperately sorry for those who can not
For all who dont know, a little funfact:
In the beginning when Mozart says "A-minor" and looks like he is in a mix of panic and not remembering it, was not scripted. It fits the scene and looks like he is to ill to compose...however, to do this scene true to the music and the beat, Both Hulce (Mozart) and Abrams had earplugs to have the music in realtime. But at first Hulces earplugs didnt work, so he was waiting and Abrams asked him, not knowing...glad they kept it in, its fits brilliant to the scene.
Amazing. I always assumed the pause was due to A-minor being such a melancholy chord. This scene is a masterpiece. Holy shit.
Also when he says: "sotto voce", write it down! Didn't know about the ear plug, interesting, thank you
I didn’t know that! Awesome!
danke Dir - Thank you
macht das Ganze noch interessanter.
makes the whole scene more interesting than it was ever before.
Denn man kann sich vorstellen wie komponieren, wie Mozart es konnte fast mathematisch ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit ist, dennoch möglich war.
Because just because this we can image how composing, the way Mozart did is if you see it in mahtematics way a "no possible at all", although he could it.
It always made me think of what Salieri said about Mozart when reading his scores of music when Costanza secretly brought them to him. "It was like he was taking dictation from god". In that moment he was pondering A minor, but really, he was waiting divine inspiration.
This is absolutely brilliant!!! Can't believe this doesn't have a million views already. Fantastic work!
Second that. I cannot believe this comment does not have a million thumbs up!!
U can't? I can. We live in a time when people consider Kanye West a musical genius. They are incapable of appreciating something this brilliant. Its a shame that the best music that ever was, classical music, is the least popular. At least Big Band, Jazz, Rock'n'Roll even with all the sub categories still involved writing music and instruments. Now? crap.
@@miket7281 -- I can't believe we live in a time where Kanye West is considered a musical genius.
Becauae most people like shit and not real music bro
I was thinking the same thing. :-)
I love the fact that Milos kept the technical hiccup @ 1:00 where Tom Hulce couldn't hear the lines in his earpiece and stuck on 'A minor' however F. Murray Abraham stayed in character and fed the lines back so Tom would remember. It looks this way as Wolfgang is just simply tired and Antonio is just enthusiastic. Brilliant move.
The way I interpreted it was that Wolfgang composed the entire movement in his head during the pause.
@@matthewallen1834 Yes. Because apart from filming conditions, this is what actually happened in story. By accident (device malfunction on the set) they've expressed beautifully the mystery of creation.
oh its how they stayed in tune? they wore earpieces?
time? TIME?!?!?!
I love the subtext in this scene--this whole movie is soaked in it, really--but you can tell that Mozart is just as frustrated as Salieri. He can barely enunciate what's going on in his head because it's always been so natural and instinctual, and Salieri's frustration feeds on it, how he barely understands the process (still locked away as a mystery in Mozart's brain) but he fully understands the results. There's such an ebb and flow of excitement and frustration as they struggle to communicate in pace with genius. It amazes me how such an abstract and complicated concept of artistic intuition can be captured in the medium of cinema.
Great comment
I’m not a musician and I can’t read music, but this is one of the most beautiful and brilliant videos I’ve ever seen on CZcams. Simply amazing. Thank you.
did he really work like that? like a genius Tesla of music composting!
@@shadowmistress999 admittedly, a lot of what he does makes sense to trained musicians. It's just that realizing as you're looking at the music that everything makes perfect sense and fits is different than being able to write it yourself.
I was thinking the same exact thing but didn't know exactly how to express that thought. well said.
@@shadowmistress999 Yeah, I can imagine he wrote that in a very short amount of time. If the ideas are all there, he could create it, he was a genius.
Mozart is the music!
As someone in their late 20’s who is just beginning to study music theory and has a tenuous grasp of notes themselves, I can honestly say it is nothing short of miraculous that someone was able come up with this on their own. Absolutely mind-blowing…
It's truly amazing! It helps if one can be trained from childhood by one of the finest music teachers in Europe, of course :)
@@AlessandroSistiMusic the finest music teachers train a lot of pupils
@@tonychang32000 _Leopold Mozart_ would have been the right answer ;)
How I envy you. The journey is just beginning for you
Literally anyone can do these things. If you keep putting other artists on a pedestal you will only throttle your own potential. There are no gods.
This should be shown in every Music class if they need to know how sheet music is written. Also kudos to the video editor who put the time into editing this! They are doing God's work!
If you're taking any sort of serious music class you've already seen it. A few times.
This is my favourite part. I really wonder if it was already complete in his head and he just suffered the impatience to get it down on paper . I'm not religious but I like the part where Salieri refered to it being as if he was taking dictation from God.
I'm watching it in History lol
The movie should be remade with this video.
I'm more impressed that they could make this scene in the movie and that the person who edited this video did such amazing visuals than I am with the fact that Mozart wrote this (which is also incredible). This is fantastic.
spot on 👍

@ Motherland Mars… not to deny any God, yours or mine, if there is one composer that totally immerse himself in his music and true greatness of his genius created the music without the presence of any God, is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, read his many biographies, all state that he put church apart from his music.
No Allah, no God,
A Man and his genius
A hundred year before Nietzsche
@@motherlandmars5999 stop bringing religion where it isnt needed. Are you saying allah also gave him his downfall?
This video is fantastic, but Mozart's Requiem is timeless.
I consider myself really lucky to be able to have sang the entire Requiem with an orchestra and a choir of up to 250 people. Before the concerts, I didn't realise the magnitude of what I was a part of, but the weekend I spent with the giant choir and orchestra will be a memory I'll never let go of!
I don't believed that for a second
@@arthurscumbagmorgan2339 I am a musician and I know quite a few people that have sang in Mozart's Requiem. It actually is a piece of music and it does get performed, therefore there are people that have performed it. It happens.
@@blanketstarry7725 whatever you say boah
@@arthurscumbagmorgan2339 Hey, if you aren't familiar with music, why even comment on this?
Singing Requiem in a big choir is a cherished treat. The music is sublime and powerful.
I cried the first time I heard this. Seeing this on film, and in this way, was inspiring in a way that I cannot put to words.
I cried, too.
When he drops the “Now for the real fire” line, it is shocking.
Those 4 little measures at Voca Me...instant tears.
The passion in the entire section is just unreal. And then comes the Lachrymosa...the buildup brings me to tears just thinking about it.
I did just now..i haven't watched the movie i need to a must u see
This was the movie that really got me composing more.
this whole scene was both sad and beautiful at the same time. I love the movie.
One of the most powerful scenes in movie history! It's intense profoundity shakes every nerve ! Accompanied by the genius of Mozarts music the magnificence is beyond mere words.
Totally agree. Tom Hulce off the scale. Pity they couldn't have 2 best actor Oscars for this exceptional piece of culture. It's not just spectacular cinema and music, it's an epic human conflict story to rival any classic one can choose. Adore this entire movie for a myriad reasons. 💖
Sorry to disappoint you, it’s not Mozart’s music, blind fanzone idolotary does no good to anyone.
The Confutatis theme is lifted directly from Anfossi’s Sinfonia Venezia (second movement) though what Mozart does with it is indeed, very special.
@@elaineblackhurst1509
All art is a cross fertilisation. And as you say, it's what Mozart dies with it.
You don't need to invent stuff from scratch to qualify.
Cheers
He composed not only his own requiem but also the score for his posthumous cinematic biography... chapeau
@@maryvasilakakos7387
Sorry but this is pseudo-intellectual would-be gobbledegook; not sure where exactly Mozart ‘dies’ (sic), but what I said was pretty straightforward, and it certainly didn’t need any sort of correction from yourself.
This is not only brilliant, it is magnificent. This is not only one of the greatest contributions to CZcams EVER, but is indeed a great contribution and tribute to the arts.
Salieri gives this little smile at 3:30, and I can't help but think that 1) he thinks his plan is starting to really come together and 2) he is finally able to observe Motzart's genius up close and personal. Excellent acting job by both of these gentlemen.
"It's wonderful!"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, go on."
That always cracks me up. But also so in character for both characters.
Stunning, just stunning!. The visualization ads an element for us non-musicians that brings home the complexity of the work. I saw this film with my Godmother on a trip to London in 1985 and then she took me to a performance of the Requiem at the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields! I can't help but think of her and that trip every time I hear this work. She passed a few years ago at 89... if I could make art like this, I would do it as my tribute to her memory and the brilliance of the music that brought us together.
What a lovely memory.
Your Godmother has great taste!
This is a mastery of editing and artistry. Phenomenal!
its not his work ! czcams.com/video/yFTNmZQqjRQ/video.html THIS IS THE REAL CONTENT CREATOR
Yes, I can't imagine the amount of work needed to edit this video. Thanks for that huge effort! The result is an amazing video.
this scene haunts me. I grew up listening to and loving classical music, I knew of the requiem before I saw this film, but even focusing on the Confutatis, I could never pick out the trombones. I didn't even know they were there. But at 2:40, when they are isolated from the rest, they sound *magical*
Well they sound like brass, there is no magic my friend only ingenious engineering of sound through the changing of air pressures via the lips. It's not magical it is technology! :) But this piece is one of my favourites so I have to agree that this was the best scene in the film. 10/10 Mozart! Again!
they really do. It makes me wish I could pick apart songs instrument by instrument more often. Incredible

@@joe-nf8go There's a video of Frank Zappa's son trying to pick apart one of his father's recordings. He was looking for a strange percussion sound.

They should release a special edition where they have the notes and effects from the video playing on the bottom of the screen during selected scenes like this.
@@Kriegsbeil5577 exactly like this. The CGI in this video would have been perfect for the movie. Although the CGI for Amadeus was done in 1982, I'm sure they could have conjured up something similar for the CGI technology of the time.
I think it's best the way it is, however it's amazing to have the privilege of seeing it this way as well
u suck
❤
The most amazing screening of this film I have seen is in a symphony hall with a live orchestra playing the score in synchrony with the film. Absolutely marvelous.
The combination of the tonic and dominant ALWAYS sends a chill up my spine, as we’re give a brief glimpse in the creative process, showing us just how brilliantly gifted Mozart truly was.
This is so awesome! I had the privilege to sing the Bass part in Mozart's Requiem. This piece really touched everyone.
When the full arrangement begins at 5:13, I had major goosebumps. Stunning work.
And the most astonishing thing: Mozart had completed this ... IN HIS HEAD ... and was merely dictating it to be written down. It was already completely written before a single word was spoken.

@@motherlandmars5999 I thought music was banned in Muslim countries. Also, Mozart didn't know who Allah was.
Amazing! The moment when the jealous master becomes the student and realize his entire life's work was meant to keep up with Mozart and he's both resentful and grateful at once.
There is a respect here. A deep, forged respect. You could spend the entire film viewing these two as bitter foes, but in this one scene they are united in the service of genius. Excellent.
Great comment!
irl they respected each other and hadnt any type of animosity. maybe salieri even respected mozart more than mozart respected salieri, as in one letter to his father mozart talks shit abt the italians
There is so much irony in this scene. Salieri wanted nothing more than to be an instrument of God for music, and by helping Mozart, he became that instrument but not in the way he had imagined or wanted.
This is one of the most dazzling visualizations of this scene ever. Wow.
They should show this clip in schools
My Godness!!!! Whoever took the time to do this is a freaking genius, the coordination movie-music sheet is astonishing, even highlighted the pace, instruments and notes with a perfect timing, thank you a bunch, your effort was so worth it and it is appreciated.
I wish I'd had this when I was studying music. I am a visual thinker but a sound performer. Musical notation always confused me, but this is marvelous. It combines what enters through the ear with the notation in real time. Thank you.
The genius is the person who composed it
Exactly what I was thinking! Incredible editing!!
@@carolynzaremba5469 Same. The notation didn't confuse me, really. The issues I had were how to know exactly which notes harmonize well with others. Once I saw the score here, it made so much more sense. Plus my ear isn't perfect either.
It's really something. Check out After Effects, which I'm pretty sure was the software used. Brilliant project.

This animation itself is a masterpiece in illustrating the thought process of creating music. There's a fine line between genius and insanity - you sir have snorted that line.
snorted ahahahahahah here have my like
Do you see how Salieri was slow to grasping it, frustrated, how he was confounded? And Mozart was rushing at his normal depth and pace in ability? This scene is me being taught math. You know, those dad helping you with homework traumatic tear laden nights, where you know he's gone to bed frustrated and burnt out at your... doing his head in... ahhh such fond childhood memories. 😂
If this doesn’t make someone into classical music, nothing will.
As a pianist and a vocalist, I love watching this unfold. Do not ask me to understand a guitar or stringed instrument. I wish I could, but that's not how music comes to me. It's all vocals and piano in my mind.
I'll explein you: they're only vindmills of tour mind. And you're the lucky one: you can hear them !
Notes are notes, only the tone color is different
Cool. I am a string player and for me it is vox and basic chords in the beginning.
This was the last piece I heard live, together with my father, before his passing. He was terminal when we attended the performance at Powell Symphony hall. Both of us had adored the film and it was so special and bittersweet to attend and hear this together. I shall never forget it. It is one of the most moving pieces ever composed.
Sending love, honestly is a commitment to truth, even when it’s difficult or inconvenient,have you seen this gem live??
I loved this scene. Elsewhere in the film there's a comment about how Mozart's only copies were without errors or scribbles or crossouts...as though was "taking dictation" from God. In this scene I imagine Salieri gets to experience what that must have felt like for Mozart. Coming at him straight from the godhead faster than he can write it down.
This was the best scene near the end because Salieri was always jealous of Mozart's musical genius and by random chance, he got a chance to be right there and be part of a new music that Mozart brings forth. The start where they're like "where are we again? Ah... we're starting here, right? Ok, let's go" and as Salieri's slowly seeing how it comes and gets pieced together, as well as at times how fast and chaotic it went all of a sudden...
F. Murray Abraham's reactions at those moments when he's just barely able to keep up with Mozart as he dictates out the scores was perfect.
I do love rewatching the movie every so often and so glad to have a physical DVD disc to enjoy whenever, but the entire movie was just amazing to watch time and time again.
Mozart’s masses are amongst the most incredible things ever composed by humans. For those who still don’t know it, try the C Minor Mass - the Kyrie in particular!
And the "et incarnatus est" - heaven, although not finalized by Mozart.
My favorite. Incredible.
Yes! The Great Cm Mass is spectacular. Imagine if Mozart had completed all of it. …
Kyrie makes every tiny hair on my body stand on end every single time I hear it!!
ditto Laudate Dominum.
As a good musician without insane talent like Mozart, Salieri actually did a fine job following Mozart without getting lost. What a tragedy to live under the shadow of such a shining talent. Beautiful music and terrific work putting this video together. It feels like getting into the mind of Mozart!
This story is fictional don't be so gullible
Salieri does an amazing job following Mozart in this scene. Even for a world-class musician like Salieri, he would definitely have some difficulty following Mozart's staccato-like demands but in the end be able to write the composition accurately once he understands the entire part.
I think your word 'tragedy' is too rich. It spiced up Salieri's life, despite the emotional roller coaster. It's akin to Noel Redding (an ok guitarist who switched to bass) backing up genius Jimi Hendrix.
He did get lost for a moment but as a musician himself all he needed is some little direction and he went back on track.
All of this film is one superb story. What's tragic is Mozart's very short life.
@@stellviahohenheim chill out angry boy
Beautiful movie. Beautiful Acting. Beautiful Music. A Masterpiece. This video is excellent as well.
I've seen the movie multiple times but with this pro scrolling edit... I couldn't take a breath again!

This is like a portal into Wolfie’s mind. I think he saw his compositions unfold like this in his head and took it down as divine dictation. He didn’t just hear the music…he saw it. Probably smelled and tasted it, too. Too genius to stay long, but what output during his brief life. Amadeus is my favorite film and has been since I saw it in 1985.
Jesus аnswered, “I аm the wаy аnd the truth аnd the life. Nо оne cоmes tо the Fаther except thrоugh me. John 14:6 ⭐✝
He absolutely did. You can tell, because his scores are typically written with very little to no revisions/corrections/mistakes. Unlike Beethoven, who worked tirelessly with lots of sketches and musical ideas in notebooks and random scraps of paper, Mozart apparently wrote most of his music down in one go, which would suggest he really did envision the entire piece in his mind before he even picked up a quill.
Mozarts mind!, i can often feel his music. My assumption is Mozart had some addiction, and mental health issues,. And I can feel that dynamic, that power in his music as I'm a kindred spirt.
Did… you just call him Wolfie? /j
@@jxff2000 Yes, why not? I believe that was the nickname used by his friends and family. I’m neither but Wolfgang is so formal.
For the people that don’t know music theory this helps us appreciate this scene way more, I wish something like this was included in the movie
I just saw this movie in 2022, unbelievably remarkable. The fact that Mozart is already hearing the music in his mind at it's full form was amazing to say the least.
This has always been my favorite movie and with adding the scrolling score, it brings it even more to life and shows the true genius that was Mozart. This is the best CZcams video I have ever seen...
most underrated youtube video ever released?
You know, I've been playing lead guitar in rock n roll bands for nearly 50 years yet can't read a lick of music but I found this post and how you sinc'd up the music with notation to be absolutely riveting! Seriously one of the coolest things I've seen on CZcams!
Similar to me: I played my first bar gig, blues guitar (The Stumble, in A) at age 15, in Madrid Spain, 1967. Have been gigging ever since. ..... and we concur, that this scene in Amadeus is precious. The entire movie is great.

@@motherlandmars5999 and human created all the gods.
I did a few years of classical guitar years ago, but the beauty of this scene is that you don't need to know music theory to understand the genius taking place onscreen.
In retrospect, I think I was the only one in my high school class who listened to classical music. It's crazy but all these years later, I'm still learning from this scene.
This is my favorite part of the whole movie. Displays Mozart's mavelous musical skills and Salieri's respects and total admiration for Mozart even though he was helping him to compuse the music for his funeral.
This is a genius work. It simply shows the inside of Mozart's brain while processing music, and Salieri makes the printout. Very nice work Mr. Gonzalez. Bravo.
This is a fictional story
Unfortunately it doesn't because this is one of the sections of the Requiem which Mozart never got round to orchestrating because his death intervened!
He wrote the choral parts of the movement but the orchestral accompaniment was only left in short score (two staves with no instrumentation).
The instrumentation presented here was the work of his pupil Franz Xaver Sussmayr undertaken after Mozart's death, another composer, Eybler, having already produced another realisation which some (e.g. the musicologist Robbins Landon) consider much superior to this one.
So a lot of artistic license was being taken in this scene in the film.
@@MrBulky992 right you are in all what you said but I'm not talking only about the requiem. In general that's happening in the brain of a composer while composing. 🙂

Also, the Confutatis theme is not a Mozart original either; check out the Andante middle movement of Anfossi’s Sinfonia Venezia composed sixteen years earlier in 1775.
I really love the part at 1:03. It shows what he has to build in his head, how complex it was to have it all work together, and why it was such an impressive genius.
This is one of the many pieces that made me a composer. Chills every time. I always loved his late and darker pieces.

What a year 84' - '85... _Amadeus_ , _Goonies_ , _Back to the Future_ to name a few. It was a Golden Age in entertainment. This was one of the peaks within a peak period. Masterpiece.
Ha! Don't forget Once Upon A Time IN America
I remember seeing this movie as a teenager in the theater when it came out ..intermission and all ..as teen into metal in the 80s/90s (still am) I was in awe ..the entire picture was a masterpiece ..and this compliments it well
I always had this idea that metal is a sort of initiation for classical music(or vice versa). Two genres that aren't easy to listen to at first but a bit of patience and the rewards are immense.
@@j.s.2744 and both take real talent
Yup. Me too. Don't forget, this was directed by Milos Foreman who did Cuckoo's Nest. ✌️
Spectacular idea, spectacular job of showing how the multitude of notes, instruments and voices coalesce into the heavenly music of Mozart.
Poor Salieri, not only could he not keep up he knew he couldn't keep up. A man recognising another man's genius and his own mediocrity by comparison.
Drama, cinema, story telling, human interest etc don't get much better than that. ❣️
I wouldn't go as far as calling salieri mediocre. Very good musician. Only played down in the movie to make mozart seem godly
@@Th3FuZZy
By comparison only. Yes, the play is a dramatisation not a documentary.
Actually this extract also shows Salieri as extremely quick to understand Mozart's intentions and genius
I feel bad for Saliery unfairly backmailed and how movies make his bad image. Hope you are talking only about character but not real person
@@user-im7km8tq7j
Yes, of course. It is a dramatisation, it has artistic licence and creates a character to suit the dramatist's needs. Dramatisation exaggerates things.
There's no proof historically that Salieri harmed Mozart. Professional rivalry is one thing, murder is another.
When we watch Amadeus we know it's fiction based on some fact, but it is mostly fiction for the sake of the theatrical/cinematic art.
Cheers
This is by far the most extraordinary scene of music composition I have ever seen in a film. A wonderful masterpiece composed by this gifted musical genius that was Mozart. Whoever made this edition in this video it is absolutely brilliant, my deepest congratulations!! Goosebumps all over the body and soul!!

To whoever made this, you are brilliant. You took a great scene and improved on it. If this movie was made today it would look like this. Thank you
I’ve watched this scene dozens of times but this presentation is absolutely STUNNING. freakin awesome stuff
Holy smokes this must have taken a lot of work to create this! It is absolutely brilliant and adds to the scene tremendously!
This really captures what it feels like when you (or a friend) are capturing musical lightning in a bottle and frantically trying to put it on paper (or in a DAW) before you lose it.
The very fact these two could hear the music just from writing it on the pages is nothing short of astounding, truly both were great masters in their field of art & whoever made this, both the video & the movie, clearly adore both Salieri & Mozart.
So did the other composers
Elitist mentality from both of you that commented on this. YOU are what’s wrong with music (especially classical music) you grey haired “everyone must understand music to the highest degree” disgust me. Sounds like you got degrees in music composition and theory and can’t write a piece of music worth listening to and ended up working in a cubicle somewhere because you can’t accept that people aren’t as interested in something as you.
Not all composers can just hear it by seeing it and “perfect pitch” (which isn’t real) has no factor in this. Most composers have to play it over and over and over again on the piano to write it down and don’t act like that isn’t the case. It takes true gift and years of playing and being a student of the music to be able to write something down that is meaningful and true to yourself and your sound and KNOW what it is going to sound like without a prior hearing or picking it out on the piano or your primary instrument.
@@jeffhutchinson8409 Dude... chill
@@dr.virus1295 lol wasn’t talking about you but I’ll “chill”
Composers of that level can do this. Chess players can play whole games with each other just by talking, without a board. It seems impossible to us but to them it's trivial
I don’t remember the sheet music from the movie, but this scene with Mozart and Salieri is the best example I ever saw with two musicians communicating music in a movie.
This variation with the sheet music graphic makes the scene even better (for a musician). But perhaps too nerdy for a standard audience (?)
I think it’s brilliant. Thank you so much.
According to rumour, Tom Hulce deliberately omitted the odd word, so that F Murray Abraham would appear more confused.
Personally I don’t think it would be too nerdy for a standard audience. I found it very informative and educational
I don't understand a thing, but the scene is magic! Marvelous 🙂
no it’s organismic for a old timer
G'day, ThomasJLarsen! The sheet music wasn't in the film.
One of the best movie scenes on classic music ever made. A gift to humanity.
Only those with a sensitive soul, who love classical music, and appreciate the hardwork on getting a beautiful piece together.. came to search for Mozart's work. 😌
Confutatis is an absolute miraculous work of perfection; gods’ gift of music, through Amadeus Mozart.
magical
brilliant
wonderful
takes you far away from your daily banal world...
Mozart is forever the genius/legend! This movie is forever a masterpiece and thank you for putting this together!
I was majoring in music when I saw this and many other music students said this scene was the best part of the movie and I agreed. Whomever put in the scrolling music score was amazing! Thank you for doing this! It made this scene better.

@@arsalan4510 I'm hearing it at 3:35 just fine.

@@arsalan4510 You thought I was being sarcastic? I wasn't trying to be. Fine, find out on your own. You won't get any help from me. Dumb@ss.
I never thought that more could be added to an already Oscar-winning scene. This is perfect.
That's a lot of work to prepare!!! You are awesome!!
The modulations towards the ending is just breathtaking to me. Listen how he ends the soprano frase just after 6.25 and then modulates to a flat minor at 6.45 . Gives me goosebumps all over. And then it continues through g minor to end the movement in f major. Simply amazing.
Goosebumps!
You are right!
Yeees my Friend!
I don’t know shit about composition, but I know baisic music theory. You are correct.
John Williams uses a similar modulation in the score for Revenge of the Sith I believe.
I'm not sure which track exactly but I recognize it from watching that movie so many times as a kid.
Learning to sight read for Classical Guitar is something I am very proud of. When I saw this film in the 80's I couldn't read it. Now, so much better.
I saw the Atlanta symphony orchestra perform the entire requiem a few years back and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in person in my life. Gut-wrenching...
I had the amazing experience of being able to sing this as a tenor in a choir. I was in heaven throughout.
I'm not a fan of opera songs but, After hearing the whole song I got goosebumps. Only Amadeus Mozart can do that to you even hundreds of years later. True Master of Composers.
This is the picture of a chaotic mind in action. His envisioning of how everything had to be played simultaneously is strenous, chaotic, genius, and daunting for the person writing it down.
Wow. Watching this and seeing the notes glow as he composes it is great. The tail end when you play the music and show the whole score is just mind blowing. The overwhelming musical genius of Mozart to be able to compose such music leaves me at a loss for words.
This is my favorite movie. The sound design is sooo perfect. Not just the soundtrack, but the small details such as the wooden floors creaking, the shifts in the chairs, it's all beautifully balanced in each scene to not distract from the story.
The editing in this video was masterfully done. For many of you leaving comments insinuating that some of us didn't capture each reflection throughout the process of this scene or movie in general, is very silly. We don't need your interpretations or to fill us into what appears obvious. Thank you for your expertise however, and your unique talents in noticing what the rest of us simples do not.
One of thee most outstanding of things I have ever seen on YT. Beautiful, yet terrifying to see.
I feel as though I’ve witnessed something extraordinary. Thank you.
Amazing. Absolutely amazing addition of the musical script to the movie. 10/10.
This is the best CZcams video I've ever seen, and I watch a shit ton of CZcams. Im also kind of a mozart freak.
To the person that put this altogether I aren’t put into words how much I enjoyed watching this. Mozart would’ve been proud of you. Thanks again! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Let’s just give mad crazy credits to the editor of this video! I just played this for my wonderful little girl, and she gained an appreciation for the amazing mind of Mozart! Wonderful video! Big ovations!
Wow! The editing is unreal, such a cool visual to add to an all time great scene in cinema history
I haven’t seen something like this anywhere else. Very good
The channel Gerubach made a similar video uploaded 10 years ago
This video is soooo great. I appreciate every single second of it. The effort, man!
One of the best scenes ever put to film. They both deserved best actor Academies for it.
This is arguably one of the greatest music scenes in the history of film.
Two top-level composers write a piece at lightning speed without offering any musical exposition or context to the audience. Viewers desperately try to keep up with Mozart's genius, to no avail...not even Salieri can keep up.
Mozart is near death, but his entire existence is FOR and IS music. It's almost as if he's regurgitating it, his body trying so hard to get it out that nothing else matters, not even his health, or life.
Salieri, the man who cursed Mozart's name and denied God due purely to Mozart's genius, cannot help but be amazed at the beauty in the music he is notating for his rival composer.
It's really incredible, thank you so much for this video!
This is unbelievable. One of the best music videos I’ve seen. It gets across the complexity of what Mozart did to a non musical person like myself. Amazing. Thanks for posting.
I'm not even embarrassed about how many times I have watched this clip.
This scene is one of the best scenes in all of cinema i swear.
beautifully produced, perfect graphics and a sense of the sublime when your video goes into the full score
