Salieri is best-known for the mutual antipathy he shared with Mozart; the latter creating a public scandal in 1790's Vienna by accusing Salieri of plagiarism and of attempting to murder him with poison. None of the charges were ever substantiated, although the opera by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov?, Mozart et Salieri (1898) and the play by [Peter Shaffer]?, Amadeus? (1979; an Oscar winning film was released in 1984) both painted Salieri as deeply jealous of, and highly treacherous towards Mozart. |
