Scene 5

SALIERI
(To audience)
I realized it absolutely then - that moment:
Goodness is nothing in the furnace of art. And I was nothing to God.
All I ever wanted was to sing to Him. That's His doing, isn't it?
He gave me that longing - then made me mute. Why? If He didn't
want me to serve Him with music, why implant the desire, like a lust in
my body, then deny me the talent?


My quarrel not with Mozart
Through him
Through him to God, who loved him so.
Amadeus …… Amadeus ……..
