Salieri in Amadeus

[abaris]

It's okay, but honestly, between Mozart and Beethoven, I can see why Salieri fell out of favor.

It was a time of outstanding composers, so a merely good composer won't win the laurel. There are many old and often told rumors surrounding the death of Mozart. Apart from the Salieri tale that he was burried in a poor grave. He wasn't. Mozart was burried according to the statutes Josef II introduced, in a so called common grave.
