Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
Nine performances! Nine, that's all it's had! And withdrawn!Antonio Salieri:I know, I know, it's outrageous. Still, if the public doesn't like one's work, one has to accept the fact gracefully.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:But what is it that they don't like?Antonio Salieri:I can speak for the Emperor. You make too many demands on the royal ear. The poor man can't concentrate for more than an hour... you gave him four.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:What did you think of it yourself? Did you like it at all?Antonio Salieri:I thought it was marvelous.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:Of course! It's the best opera yet written, I know it... why didn't they come?Antonio Salieri:I think you overestimate our dear Viennese, my friend. You know you didn't even give them a good *bang* at the end of songs, to let them know when to clap?Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:I know, I know... maybe you should give me some lessons in that
