massive and challenging legacy in composition and
performance. Edward Kennedy D...

Peter Shaffers Amadeus Shaffers Amadeus Mozart
868 words
I believe that there are two ways to critique
Peter Shaffers Amadeus. The first, and the easiest
for me, is as an artistic work only. As an
artistic endeavor, Amadeus is a triumph.
Particularly stunning is F. Murray Abrahams
performance as the tortured Court Composer Antonio
Salieri. Abraham portrays a talented yet mediocre
musician who, having revered God all his life,
shows us clearly that pride goeth before the fall.
It is Salieri's greed for fame, and pride in his
own moral goodness that lea...
