Amadeus is a jewell
p.s.: Mozart doesn't intend to insult Salieri. He is genuinely enjoying arranging that little piece, but he is unaware of the social protocol required with the Emperor's Court Composer
BTW: F. Murray Abraham won the Best Actor Oscar for his role as Salieri. The movie got 8 Oscars

Yep. One of the best music-related movies I’ve ever watched. I was absolutely obsessed with it as a kid.
