Salieri in Amadeus

[abaris]

I remember these parts, but not the actual involvement of Salieri, other than being falsely protrayed as commissioning the requiem.

What I wanted to point out is the distinction, some of our contemporaries make, between pop and high culture. Many of the composers of days gone by have been pop artists, since they adressed the people and not some lofty assembly in most of the cases.
