Plot

Antonio Salieri was a talented composer and sought-after teacher who created hundreds of beautiful works in the early days of the mature classical style. There is no reason for his legacy to be tarnished or for him to be reviled or pitied. And his work certainly deserves to be more than a footnote to a fictionalized biopic about Mozart.
