| BUT WHAT IF MOZART WAS RIGHT? IF HE REALLY WAS MURDERED? AND BY HIM. ANTONIO SALIERI! IT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE TRUE. IT'S NOT ACTUALLY CREDIBLE. BECAUSE WHY? WHY ON EARTH WOULD HE DO IT? |
| --from Peter Shaffer's play, AMADEUS |
| THERE WAS TALK ONCE BEFORE YOU KNOW. THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO. WHEN MOZART WAS DYING. HE CLAIMED HE'D BEEN POISONED. SOME SAID HE ACCUSED A MAN. SOME SAID THAT MAN WAS SALIERI. BUT NO-ONE BELIEVED IT. THEY KNEW WHAT HE DIED OF! SYPHILLIS, SURELY. LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. |
