drama „For Mozart, evolution was worthwhile.” - Peter Shaffer

Milos Forman’s film was a huge success in its day. Even without the eight Oscars. If artistic achievement were measured in awards alone, we’d be in trouble.

Mozart was insatiably in love with life. He embraced everything considered “sinful”: wine, cards, billiards. And his passion extended to musical ornaments: flowery acciaccaturas, trills, cadences others dared not risk, and chromatic runs.
