Mozart Research Paper
Mozart’s Life in comparison to the movie “Amadeus Mozart was a supreme melodist and is one of the most popular classical composers of all time. “Mozartean” is practically synonymous with elegance and grace.
The film Amadeus was a great; it showed in-depth adversity about how things were for Mozart during his time. Like his clothes, and the way things were established in the seventeen century. It was a reviewed time and time again as a 5 star, although was the film really historical accurate?
In truth the film isn't as accurate as it may seem. Most of the facts are true, like Mozart’s personality and music, but the storyline is made to be much more interesting for the film. The problem with Amadeus is that it just isn't history. In the beginning, when Salieri first meets Mozart at the archbishop’s residence, you hear him the background saying “that night changed my life”, but the whole scene there was sunlight coming through the windows. Also Amadeus and Stanzi had six children, only two of whom would reach adulthood, throughout the movie we only see one child, a son, through out the movie.
During a game Mozart is dared to play a little tune in the style of Johann Sebastian Bach. This is in fact an error, because nobody could remember Bach in the late seventeen eighty’s. In truth he was completely forgotten about when he died seventeen fifty and remained forgotten until Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdi discovered some of his work in the early eighties. It is possible that Mozart knew Bach, but it is very unlikely that normal people, without thorough musical training, knew his name. Also considering the party he was at and the fact that everyone was shown to be drinking heavily so for them to remember a musician that was hardly know by experts? Mozart was asked to play Handel’s style. He
