00:00It's a shocking thing to hear.
00:03Why?
00:05Why share this with me?
00:07Why not tell this to a priest or a constable?
00:11You and I have no great bond.
00:14Or had you forgotten what you did?
00:18But we have the greatest bond, Frau Mozart.
00:23We have him.
00:30Hey, Mozart. They're ready for you.
01:00Very pleasant.
01:07I expected better of you, you know.
01:14Ah! Antonio!
01:18Herr Salieri!
01:20Oh, I'm Frau Salieri! It's the Salieri.
01:23You came?
01:24Yes, we came.
01:25Congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you.
01:27You're right.
01:28I'm sorry.
01:29I'm sorry.
01:30I'm sorry.
01:31I'm sorry.
01:32I'm sorry.
01:33I'm sorry.
01:34I'm sorry.
01:35I'm sorry.
01:36I'm sorry.
01:37I'm sorry.
01:38I'm sorry.
01:39I'm sorry.
01:40I'm sorry.
01:41I'm sorry.
01:43Your bride is on a table.
01:45Yes, I don't know why.
01:47You know, I've been thinking about it, and I forgive you for what happened when you didn't
01:50defend me.
01:51I really do.
01:52I mean, I understand it now.
01:53You're in a very difficult position.
01:54We all know how beholden you are to this emperor, all the constraints and the rules.
01:58It's no wonder that some of your things don't fly.
02:01You're like a big beautiful bird in a cage.
02:03I could never do what you do.
02:04It drives me absolutely fucking mad.
02:06I heard there's a new one coming, though.
02:08Is that true?
02:09Yes.
02:10La scuola di gelato.
02:12La scuola di gelato.
02:13Ice cream school.
02:14Gelos.
02:15Ah, gelos.
02:16School of jealousy.
02:17Uh, well, Stanzi's sister is going up for a part.
02:20Very good singer.
02:21Pretty fucking mental, but, uh, lovely singing, boys.
02:25Please, make yourselves at home.
02:27Enjoy these sausages and gherkins.
02:29Go get some tea, please.
02:31Bye, bye.
02:32Bye.
02:33Bye.
02:34Bye.
02:59You didn't come to the wedding.
03:08Who?
03:10Father.
03:17Mother didn't mind.
03:20I suppose he is dead, so I have to forgive him.
03:26You should write to him.
03:27Tell him off.
03:31Maybe I will.
03:37Come now. You're getting better, your majesty.
03:39What's the punishment for lying to an emperor, do you think?
03:41Is it flogging or beheading?
03:44There are people in this palace who drag you out of the garden
03:46and beat you to death with rocks, if I ask them to.
03:49All of them, actually.
03:51You still have some way to go, but you are improving, majesty.
03:57My niece, Elizabeth, is coming to Vienna.
04:02She needs a music tutor, lest she ends up like her uncle.
04:04Princess? Your majesty, I would be honoured to...
04:08I'm sure you would call composer, but no, I think the princess would like somebody a little bit more...
04:13A bit more...
04:14Oh, I don't know.
04:15Vibrant.
04:17Well, she's young.
04:18You understand what I'm trying to say.
04:20Yes, I think I do, sir.
04:21She had a rather fun idea.
04:23How about Mozart?
04:25Mozart?
04:25She might rather like that.
04:27He tutors, surely.
04:28I've heard the boy play.
04:29I mean, God, if he can rub some of that off on my niece, then so much the better.
04:33How is he, anyway?
04:35I was worried that he was a bit wounded by my critique on his opening night.
04:38Well, he's written about 200 concertos and got married since then, so I think he's doing fine, sir.
04:43Yes, I was hoping that he might be given a chance to write something new for us.
04:47Another brothel set fantasy with too many notes, perhaps?
04:51Perhaps a little more judiciousness in your handling of him next time, but...
04:54No, it's funny, I went away from that opera. I couldn't stop thinking about it.
04:57I've gone under my skin somehow.
04:59We need to be bolder, Antonia.
05:02You were right, getting you to restage Terraro. It was...
05:04A success, sir.
05:05It was safe.
05:05A copy of a Parisian hit, that's what my sister called it.
05:10No, courage is what's needed now. Courage in court and in government.
05:13We need to be brave, Antonia.
05:16Brave men win the day, do they not?
05:18Of course, Your Majesty.
05:19I'll let you give Mozart the good news about Elizabeth.
05:21One.
05:30My goodness, Rupert.
05:31Have you been practising?
05:38Um, yes.
05:41Yes, now I can tell. You've really improved, haven't you?
05:44I kid, of course. I jest, I jape, I make merry.
05:47I can tell that you're lying, Rupert. I can tell you have not been practising.
05:51In fact, what you just produced leads me to question whether you haven't actually discovered
05:55something that is sort of the reverse of practising.
05:57A kind of not practising so powerful as to completely undo all of the accumulated knowledge
06:01of our previous session.
06:02A sort of anti-practice.
06:04Have you cultivated an irrational fear of competency, perhaps?
06:08Did somebody perform rudimentary surgery and replace your ten fingers with flaccid baby
06:12cocks, Rupert?
06:13Do you have flaccid baby cocks for fingers, Rupert?
06:15Have you even touched this fucking harpsichord a single time since I walked out of that door
06:19a week ago?
06:23No, I didn't think so.
06:24And that's why you're not playing it very well.
06:27Now, I'm going to go and use your privy in the hope that the noise of my intestinal fluctuations
06:32are more pleasing than whatever the fuck you just try to fart out of these keys.
06:42Are he be cocks for fingers?
06:44Yes.
06:45Going to run out of students.
06:46Don't worry, everybody in this town wants to learn a violin or forte piano or a fucking triangle.
06:52Got a letter.
06:54From your father.
06:55Came on your sleep.
06:56Like an assassin.
06:57Mm-hmm.
06:59Mm-hmm.
07:03Let me see.
07:10Don't worry, it's just his way.
07:12He doesn't deserve you.
07:14He definitely deserves me.
07:16Poor old bastard.
07:18Right.
07:19I might be a little bit late this evening.
07:21Mm-hmm.
07:21Bring some people back with me.
07:23Do you mind?
07:23No.
07:23Your sister is a great talent.
07:47You did want to see me, didn't you?
07:57Yes.
07:57I always just said that you...
07:59Yes.
07:59Yes.
07:59Yes.
07:59I hear your husband lost another pupil.
08:06Yes, he did.
08:08Well, as luck would have it, a new job has become available.
08:12A royal appointment, actually.
08:13A royal appointment, actually.
08:14Princess Elizabeth.
08:16A princess?
08:17The princess.
08:18Now, tutoring her is a position that will hold significant standing in the court and beyond.
08:24I mean, he'd be perfect for it.
08:27He's a brilliant tutor.
08:28My playing has come out so much and that's just what I said.
08:30I'm wondering if you might bring me his manuscripts so that I can properly consider his work.
08:34Make his case to the emperor.
08:38Yes, of course.
08:39Bring the works to my residence.
08:41Newer ones, if possible.
08:42And I ask that we keep this strictly between us.
08:47Absolutely.
08:48Well, I'll go and get them right away.
08:52All right.
09:24A young lady is here to see you, sir.
09:30Yes.
09:36Send her in.
09:42Constance, sir.
09:43Herr Salieri.
09:44Come on, please.
09:45I'm telling you.
09:47Help yourself to a treat.
09:49They're from Verners.
09:49My footman gets them.
09:50Do you know Verners in town?
09:51Mm-hmm.
09:52Very good bakery.
09:53So these are his newest works?
09:57All from the last month or so.
10:02All this from the last month?
10:05Or so.
10:05Do you think I could keep these to look over?
10:15I don't think that, um...
10:17Well, he doesn't know I've come here.
10:19And he'll miss them.
10:21He doesn't make copies.
10:22These are our origins?
10:30Mm-hmm.
10:36Dear God.
10:39Do you mind if I...
10:41No, please.
10:41No, please.
10:41So what do you think?
11:11Could you speak to the Emperor in his behalf?
11:15Yes, I could speak to the Emperor.
11:20Put his name for.
11:28But know that to do so would be a cost on my God.
11:33It would be a cost.
11:36There are many powerful men who could give me something in return for my health.
11:41We don't have anything we could give you.
11:44No.
11:53I thought you wanted to help us.
11:55Well, I do.
11:57I do.
11:57Of course I do.
12:01But you are a woman.
12:02I am a man.
12:03Is it really so awful, the thought of it?
12:17The idea of it?
12:19Is it so high a price to pay for what I am offering?
12:23You do understand what I am offering.
12:25You must never know.
12:44I am a woman.
13:00Like you said.
13:01So where should we do it?
13:02Should we do it here?
13:04Or in the bedroom?
13:05You have to be delicate.
13:06Do you understand?
13:07Get dressed.
13:07Why?
13:10Have you changed your mind?
13:11You are so dressed.
13:16The princess.
13:20Yes, I will speak to the Emperor.
13:22Forgive my sinful mind and my temptation.
13:34I walked to the edge, but I didn't go over it, didn't you?
13:39You pulled me back.
13:41I commend myself to you.
13:44I know your destiny is right.
13:46Perhaps in your divine wisdom, you felt you'd given me too much already.
13:51Terraria was a success.
13:52I feel the next one will be too.
13:55And I am grateful.
13:57I'm so grateful.
14:03And I commend myself to you.
14:06To purity.
14:09This ends now.
14:12I swear.
14:13I swear.
14:14I swear.
14:16I swear.
14:41I swear.
14:44I swear.

17:35You having a night there?
17:44Let's have a look at you.
17:52I do love you.
17:57I think I do.
18:00I think that's what this is.
18:04Do you feel loved?
18:06Eh?
18:08Can I ask you a question?
18:10Do you like me to love you, Raymond?
18:14No, I'm just asking.
18:17Just asking.
18:20What you do is piss and shit and suck on my wife's tits.
18:26You stole my act.
18:30Why can't I finish your fucking mass, Raymond?
18:34Yes, well there we go. A noble attempt, your highness.
18:48Um, might I suggest...
18:50I don't care for it.
18:52I'm sorry?
18:54Music.
18:56Ah, yes I wondered if that might be the problem.
19:00Would you like to, um, sit next to me on the stool?
19:04Of course.
19:06The last teacher I had was even younger than you.
19:08Used to, um, rub himself onto the clavichord as I played.
19:12Did he?
19:13Yes.
19:14Yes.
19:15Yes.
19:16Yes.
19:17I wondered if that might be the problem.
19:18Would you like to, um, sit next to me on the stool?
19:20The last teacher I had was even younger than you.
19:24Used to, um, rub himself onto the clavichord as I played.
19:30Did he?
19:31Yes.
19:32He put a finger inside me once.
19:33My father found out and had his hand cut off.
19:46That was just before I sent to live here.
19:50Shall we, uh, start again from the top?
19:57Well, we can start from whichever end you like, Herr Mozart.
20:03Very good.
20:05Fucking hell.
20:07Okay, Your Highness.
20:09Whenever you're ready.
20:10I'm just going to, uh, watch from over here.
20:16Come back to Salzburg.
20:17You cannot continue to ignore me, Wolfgang.
20:19Come back to Salzburg.
20:20You must listen to me.
20:21Fight!
20:22It'll shut you up.
20:23Stanza!
20:24Pack your trunk.
20:25We're going away.
20:26Where?
20:27Salzburg.
20:28He used to feed every two hours or so, but it's been going down lately.
20:29Her night he used to sleep quite badly.
20:30He needs his bedclothes cleaned.
20:31A child, I've raised four girls.
20:32I think we can look after a baby.
20:33Well, this one has a cock, so don't get startled and chop it off by mistake.
20:34We'll write you when we get there.
20:35We'll write you when we get there.
20:36Yes.
20:37We'll write you down.
20:38No.
20:39No.
20:40No.
20:41No.
20:42No.
20:43No.
20:44No.
20:45No.
20:46No.
20:47No.
20:48No.
20:49No.
20:50No.
20:52No.
20:54No.
20:55No.
20:56No.
20:57We'll ride to you when we get there and we'll have a home stadium at the end of the month.
21:00Off we go. Enough laughing.
21:03Bye, Raymond.
21:09Sometime just you and me.
21:11We have this small goat lying between us.
21:14Kicking us with his tiny hooves.
21:17Do us good, I think.
21:17Don't talk about him like that.
21:20It was a joke.
21:21Mozart had taken you, his beautiful wife, on a sojourn away from the city.
21:28And in his absence, piano was mine once again.
21:32I released my newest opera, La Scuola de Gelosi, to great acclaim.
21:51Let's go.
21:54On the floor of the city.
22:08The name is Heya.
22:12It was such a hit, in fact, that my librettist De Ponte and I even considered a sequel.
22:36The idea was abandoned, but offered to another composer who reworked it into a new piece.
22:41You'll know it by the name Cosifantuti, but then I tried not to dwell on such details.
22:48For a while, I revelled in my success in the position, as if nothing had ever changed.
22:56Little did I know what was coming.
23:00This is where you grew up?
23:04Would Master Wolfgang care for some supper, perhaps?
23:08Or would Sir prefer to go straight to his bedchamers?
23:13Straight to the bedchamers, please, Floyd.
23:16Fine.
23:17Very good, sir.
23:23Good morning, Florian.
23:52Good morning, Florian.
23:53Good morning, Master Wolfgang.
23:56Where is my father?
23:57Left early this morning, sir.
23:59He expects to return in a day or two.
24:02You told him that we arrived last night, yes?
24:04Oh, indeed, yes, sir.
24:09Very good.
24:10Very good.
24:11Very good.
24:16Very good.
24:37Beautiful.
24:41First piece I ever wrote.
25:06The piano I wrote it on.
25:09Where's your father?
25:11I've gone somewhere for a few days, I don't know.
25:15But he knows we've arrived.
25:18Yes, he does.
25:41Hello.
25:51Good to see you.
26:04Good to see you.
26:05You too.
26:06We're having chicken.
26:07We've been here for three days.
26:09I had business out of town.
26:10Well, you knew we were coming.
26:11Where's your wife?
26:12Getting changed.
26:13Into what?
26:14Is there wine?
26:15You know, I wrote to you for months.
26:16You didn't reply.
26:17I've been busy.
26:18Oh yes, I hear that.
26:19I hear you've been very busy.
26:20I hear you've been very busy.
26:21I hear you drink.
26:22I hear you throw lavish parties.
26:23Here we go.
26:24I hear you've been making a spectacle of yourself.
26:25Or am I wrong?
26:26Too many notes.
26:27Don't think that didn't filter.
26:28The Emperor does not know anything about music, does he?
26:30Is this cognac, brandy?
26:31I'll take anything at this point.
26:32My greatest fear when he left Salzburg was that this would happen.
26:33That what would happen?
26:34This is a very good idea.
26:35I'm not sure you didn't reply.
26:36I'm not sure you didn't reply.
26:37I'm busy.
26:38Oh yes, I hear that.
26:39I hear you've been very busy.
26:40I hear you drink.
26:41I hear you throw lavish parties.
26:42I hear you throw lavish parties.
26:43I hear you've been making a spectacle of yourself.
26:44Or am I wrong?
26:45Too many notes.
26:46Don't think that didn't filter me to me.
26:47The Emperor does not know anything about music, does he?
26:50My greatest fear when he left Salzburg was that this would happen.
26:53That what would happen?
26:56That you would squander your gift.
26:58I'm not squandering anything.
27:00Teaching the princess piano.
27:02Did you not know about that?
27:03I thought you'd be impressed.
27:05That's one hour of your week accounted for.
27:07What of the rest?
27:08Why do I not hear any tales of triumph and glory?
27:11Just stories of an insolent fool dancing around an apartment he can barely afford
27:17with some pauper's daughter on his arm.
27:19And Mozart?
27:24You should call me Papa.
27:27Your father is dead.
27:28He won't mind.
27:29My mother also forbade the wedding, by the way.
27:32He weren't the only one.
27:33She did attend it, though.
27:35You think me rude?
27:37What would you call it?
27:38I'm a straightforward man.
27:40I don't feign enthusiasm where I do not feel any.
27:43I don't send regards where I do not feel they're warranted.
27:47How is my grandson?
27:53Wolfgang.
27:54He cries when he doesn't get exactly what he wants.
27:56He pays no attention to anyone else's feelings, needs or desires, so we can be sure he's a Mozart at least.
28:02I'm glad to have finally met you.
28:07I told you Vienna would not be impressed with your frivolities.
28:11Oh, you think the imperial opera indulges nonsense?
28:15An opera set in a whorehouse.
28:18That was your grand entrance?
28:20Yes.
28:21Was it worth it?
28:22For you to get a dressing down on stage from the emperor in front of everybody?
28:26Was that what we were working so hard towards all those years, all those miles?
28:32I'm talking to you.
28:35Yes.
28:37What about a follow-up?
28:40I assume you have plans to try and salvage your reputation?
28:43I've written hundreds of things.
28:45I write every day, Father.
28:46Don't worry.
28:47Thank you very much.
28:48Looking forward to the chicken.
28:50What about a follow-up, then?
28:51Well, obviously, I have been a little bit distracted.
28:54I have a Basset Hound who I'm trying to train.
28:57He can follow basic commands except for when he sees a pigeon,
29:00when he completely forgets what he was doing and sits there drooling slightly.
29:04I can forgive him this because he's an imbecile and he is a Basset Hound.
29:08But you are not a Basset Hound, Wolfgang.
29:12Your ears are not long and soft.
29:14You do not have a rounded muzzle or a glossy coat.
29:17You are a man.
29:19Something colourful should be able to float into view
29:25without knocking every last intelligent thought from your mind.
29:28Grow up.
29:29You're distracted.
29:30No one cares.
29:31Your first opera was a failure.
29:33You haven't written a second one.
29:34That should alarm you as much as it does me.
29:36What's his name?
29:38What?
29:39The Basset Hound.
29:41Gregor.
29:42Well, that's a bit of a silly name, Papa.
29:44Well, Wolfgang was already taken.
29:46You are throwing away the gift that God gave you.
29:52Not you as well.
29:54Wolfgang.
29:55They're my gifts.
29:58So they're mine to do what I want with.
30:00No, they are not.
30:02You tell him.
30:03Maybe he'll listen to you.
30:09People have died for your tans.
30:11Beg your pardon?
30:12Your mother is in the ground.
30:16No flowers on her grave.
30:18No mourners to tend it.
30:20Left to rot in a cold corner of a Parisian church.
30:23Five hundred miles away from home.
30:26Because you...
30:28She was ill.
30:30She was ill and you didn't send for me.
30:38It's not true.
30:39It's true.
30:40It's true.
30:41It's true.
30:42And you know it's true.
30:43And you can drink and whore and play as loud as you can.
30:47But you know she stands in the dark and watches you.
30:50And she weeps at what you're doing with the gift that she gave her life for, you selfish little bastard.
30:57Why do you behave like that?
31:20Why?
31:22Like what?
31:26Wolfgang.
31:28Like the great Amadeus Mozart who teaches piano to princesses and writes ditties for babies.
31:33Our baby.
31:34It's one piece you've never been able to finish.
31:40Perhaps you can't write a celebration for something you don't actually celebrate.
31:47You know I spent five minutes with your father and I have to say I'm not a fan.
31:54But he's right.
31:56People have made sacrifices for you.
32:00They have.
32:01They've humiliated themselves.
32:03Twisted themselves into what you needed because we see what you are.
32:08What you could be but you need to earn that.
32:10You're not a little boy writing minuets anymore.
32:14You're a man.
32:16At least you're fucking supposed to be.
32:20You try.
32:22You get any kind of bringing up?
32:24You'll be better or not.
32:26Let's go.
32:56Let's go.
33:26Let's go.
33:56Let's go.
34:26Let's go.
34:28Let's go.
34:30Let's go.
34:32Sir, I'm sorry to tell you that your son is dead.
34:39He succumbed to a fever shortly after you left.
34:42Let's go.
34:44Let's go.
34:46Let's go.
34:48Let's go.
34:50Let's go.
34:54Let's go.
34:56Let's go.
34:58Let's go.
35:00Let's go.
35:02Let's go.
35:06Let's go.
35:08Let's go.
35:10Let's go.
35:12Let's go.
35:14Let's go.
35:16Let's go.
35:18Let's go.
35:20Let's go.
35:22Let's go.
35:24Let's go.
35:26Let's go.
35:28Let's go.
35:30Let's go.
35:32Let's go.
35:34Let's go.
35:36Let's go.
35:38Let's go.
35:40Let's go.
35:42Let's go.
35:44Let's go.
35:58She needs rest.
36:00A proper bed.
36:08Wolfgang...
36:10Good speed on your travels.
36:40That's the last time I leave you with a baby.
37:03Is she dressed?
37:10She's in bed.
37:12She's asleep.
37:15I've never seen anybody sleep like this.
37:18What am I supposed to do?
37:20Have another.
37:23Have another before the grief is allowed to settle.
37:26Only joy can dispel grief, joy, and light, love, and music.
37:33What?
37:40God.
37:43God.
37:48God.
37:53God.
39:33There's a service on Sunday to church.
39:52The Mass for Raymond is ready to perform.
39:55People keep saying to me that God speaks through me.
40:14Well, now he's taken our son.
40:22Maybe we can speak back.
40:25And if it's in your voice, I think you might hear it.
40:30The Mass for Raymond is ready to perform.
40:38And if it's in your voice, I think you might hear it.

45:21Well, it says only one name, and it's not mine.
45:27You chose him.
45:30A foul, spiteful, shit-talking bastard
45:34moats out to be your sole conduit,
45:37and my sublime pleasure is to be the one man alive
45:40in this time that can clearly recognize your incarnation.
45:43You give me just enough talent to know
45:46how little I truly possess.
45:51Lay alone.
46:03It's a wonderful job.
46:11So be it.
46:13From this time on, we are enemies.
46:21You and I are not accepted, friend.
46:25You are wont.
46:27They say God is not mocked.
46:29I tell you man is not.
46:33I tell you I am not mocked.
46:38You are the enemy.
46:39I name thee now, and this I swear, to my last breath,
46:45I will block you on this earth.
46:49I will block you and your vessel as far as I am able.
46:56Diminish the man.
46:57Diminish the God.
46:59Diminish the God.
47:06Kill the man.
47:09Kill the God.
