I loved this! I remember the song, "Amadeus, Amadeus!" but have since forget the artist. It had nothing to do with the movie as I recall.
The opening orchestra piece brings to life the setting. The movie directors and actors had such a vast space to use. It seems the script should have echoed on the set. The musical piece that played during the showing of the cutting of the throat by Maestro Saliad (the guy in the beginning) doesn't seem to fit. It was a happy tune, not melodramatic. I loved the violins (being that I played the violin for years while in elementary, middle, and high schools), bass, cellos, and violas. I danced in my mind through the opening credits. Hansel Gary (not sure of spelling) playing the violin, or not, sounded recorded in his flash back of a concert he'd composed.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's laugh rang in my ears everytime it was vocalized.
The opera singer (Is she singing?) singing "Greedy Songbird" was nice. The piece playing as she's on stage represents and goes along with court composer Saliad's jealousy. He's in love or lust.
There was some bit of the "Mickey Mouse" sound as the performers danced on stage.
The score went well with the grandiose view inside the palace at the wedding of Mozart and his fiance.
The sound of the horses trampling sounds much too large for five horses when the majesty meets court composer in the park. It was more of a representation of the royalness of the majesty arriving.
The shrill turning of the paper (sheet music) shows contempt, jealousy and anger of the court composer. My thoughts were confirmed when he states "...we are enemies..I'll hinder and harm...ruin your incarnation!"
The surprising arrival of the father-the loud crescendo of music-played well along with the scene. Overall the sound in the movie was delightfully representative of each scene in the movie.
