On the life of geniuses
MOZART: an example of a hero that is a true genius.
He died as a true genius: did his death have anything to do with the fact he was a true genius?
"Aware he is dying, he gives instructions on how to complete the Requiem he is composing." - link
As for the "relationship" between Mozart & Salieri (the rival composer who is accused of 'poisoning' him): this is my opinion, shared by the poster in this link (top comment)
Please watch the film "Amadeus" if you don't know about Mozart, but are interested in how classical music might be "important".
"And there... an oboe, high and unwavering... until a clarinet takes over, and forms a phrase of such longing..."
There it was, the above "quote" raised in the start of the flim that was the first of quotes I can quote, that so impacted me that "the life of geniuses", that made me treasure the life of "classical masterpieces", the geniuses that they are. The very same tune that this quote played to in the film plays on in my memory, so do the tunes in the rest of the film.
I didn't know much about Mozart or classical music until I watched this film. You don't need to be interested in "classical music" to decide to watch this film. You just need to want to know about 19th century Europe, or about "richness" and what it means in the 21st century.
Please watch the film "Amadeus" if you are interested in this post. You might discover a whole new light to your life that you didn't know existed.
I mean it.

Good film. The small mutt overacted Mozart in my opinion but Murray Abraham as Salieri was creepily good.
Mozart was likely to have had Tourette's disorder.

Other geniuses seem to prefer Asperger's syndrome, like Glenn Gould for instance.
You want to be a genius, you got to have a syndrome!
Must-have accessory.
to Nick:
might be traitorous to a seemingly level-headed construction builder having profounder knowledge about mental health problems . . . human resources departments have started scanning the internet coz it’s so much “richer” as the personal file
btw in september am awaiting a fundamental judgment of the European Court of Justice referring to the tax deductibility of school fees of schools of excellence towards financial administration never the less in which European country school is situated . . . so far and after the final speech of the advocate general my case will be successful . . . so you should care a bit more about highly gifted kids even having a itsibitsi spleen . . . it’s mostly a productive spleen
Watch it soooo long ago, you probably weren't even born then.
Glad u got the chance to learn a bit about Classical Music thru that film.. However I can't fail but grimace at the generalist nature of such films.. and it's honestly painful to hear some people talk like they are Beethoven's teacher and Mozart's uncle when it comes to music.
Mozart's contribution is incalculable, while Bill Gates's is still reckoned to the nearest pathetic billion.
*paraglider, I was just thinking about this post and what its point was when I had posted it.
Money *does* make the world go around, but computers do not hit the emotional spot as Mozart's music does mine.
Most cannot live without computers, of course, but music can make the world go around, especially if it's Mozart. No real monetary value there, but the music does influence mankind in whatever way. Surely individual influence matters collectively - and that might result in collective opinion, and worldly money-generation in consequence.
