Today is the birthday of Antonio Salieri, born on the 18th of August 1750. Competent composer, he is ironically known for a muder he did not commit and which in fact was no murder at all. Is musical career got obscured because of that hot kid from Salzburg. Which would be a shame, but then again we have Amadeus and we can at least give him some credit for it. To commemorate his birthday and even celebrate the man, I have decided to show a scene from the original production of Amadeus, with the fictitious Salieri played by Paul Scofield. Just because. Oh and on a side note, Salieri was maybe the best music teacher of his time.
