Antonio Salieri:
[to Father Vogel]
While my father prayed earnestly to God to protect commerce, I would offer up secretly the proudest prayer a boy could think of: "Lord, make me a great composer. Let me celebrate Your glory through music and be celebrated myself. Make me famous through the world, dear God. Make me immortal.

...I would offer up...
...secretly...
...the proudest prayer
a boy could think of.
Lord, make me a great composer.
Let me celebrate your glory
through music...
...and be celebrated myself.
Make me famous through the world.
Make me immortal.
After I die...
...let people speak my name
with love for what I wrote.
In return...
...I will give you my chastity...
...my industry...
...my deepest humility,
every hour of my life.
Amen.
And do you know what happened?
A miracle!
Francesco!
My life changed forever.
I knew God had arranged it all.
That was obvious.
One minute I was a frustrated boy...
...in an obscure little town.
The next I was here...
...in Vienna, city of musicians...
...and Emperor Joseph,
the musical king.
