 Amadeus [Immortal] : The People : Salieri
Salieri died rather delirious in Vienna in 1825 at the age of seventy-five.
Oddly, Salieri had confessed to the poisoning days earlier, but doctors of the time write that Salieri was delusional and probably suffering from advanced syphilis (but then, every great man dies of syphilis, right?).

 TUTA :: Pushkin: Mozart and Salieri
"Mozart and Salieri" is part of the "little tragedies" cycle, a collection of four short plays in verse (The Miserly Knight, Mozart and Salieri, The Stone Guest, and A Feast During the Plague) that Pushkin wrote in 1830.
It seemed to me insufficient to present Salieri simply as an envious man. To my mind he was a high priest of his art, and he was a mortal ideological fiend to the one who seemed to rock the basis of his art.

 Amadeus (1984)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)

Constanze Mozart (Elizabeth Berridge) is on first appearances a giggling girl, and yet through the course of the film we are shown that she is very shrewd, and is ruthless when dealing with finance.
He infuriates Salieri by arranging a welcoming march actually written for Mozart (and taken to be wonderful by the Italian up to this point), showing off his outstanding skills whilst looking around at the assembled courtiers and cackling with glee.

 The Mozart Project: "Amadeus" and Mozart
In 1825 Salieri's two attendants attested that they had never heard such words from their charge, and a friend of Mozart's physician reported that Wolfgang had died of a fever that was epidemic at that time in Vienna.
A primary issue in both stage and screen versions is Mozart's behavior: his cavorting with Constanze in a public room of a noble residence, his use of inappropriate language, his excessive drinking, his lack of respect for the emperor and archbishop, his public parody of Salieri, his high self-opinion, and his general insensitivity to propriety.
Mozart's funeral and burial were arranged by the Baron Gottfried van Swieten, who adhered to the Josephian burial guidelines and was cognizant of the deceased's financial situation.

Salieri hears that he is to give a concert of his recent musical compositions at the residence of his own employer, the Archbishop of Salzburg, and hurries there to hear it.
Salieri is scandalized by what he hears—and then utterly astonished when, as the music begins gently to waft from the great salon, the boy springs up in alarm and cries, "My music!" and dashes from the room.
Salieri’s aim is not Mozart’s immediate destruction; he must first entice him to a certain "field" of musical endeavor, i.e., the composition of a great requiem, a Mass for the dead.

While Mozart and Salieri are napping, Constanze comes in, after leaving Mozart for a while, argues with Salieri and locks the Requiem in a cabinet.
What commenced while Mozart fell ill was inherently different than the events that took place in the movie, "Amadeus." "In the middle of November he conducted his Masonic cantata, Laut verkunde unser Freude, to celebrate the opening of new premises of his lodge, which was named 'New Crowned Hope'" (Carr, 1983, p.122).

 Did Antonio Salieri murder Wolfgang Mozart? - Answerbag.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Mozart had gotten himself dismissed from the court of Prince Archbishop Colloredo of Salzburg (Colloredo's predecessor, Sigismund, had been Mozart's godfather and his father's patron; upon succession, Colloredo became the patron of both Mozarts, father and son) in order to travel to Vienna to become court compser to Emperor Franz Josef II Habsburg.
Mozart did not work on the Requiem right up to the night of his death (the swelling in his hands prevented this), and Salieri was not present at the time.
With such contributions to the general mythology surrounding Mozart's death as this, and with the lengths of falsehood to which Shaffer goes to involve Salieri in Mozart's death, it becomes obvious that the Schaffer play and movie cannot be treated as anything like an authoritative source of information on the cause of Mozart's death.
