You said I got a '90's Volvo and their whole discography

Okay, on an unfamiliar antibiotic and the aftershock of the concert and next to zero sleep it appears that I do not have the mental wherewithal to write any further about movies today, so please enjoy this thoroughly charming article: "Antonio Salieri's Revenge." Shaffer's Salieri has been important to me for twenty years, but I have in fact heard and enjoyed the music of the real, neither murderous nor mediocre one, and I don't see the point of resisting this description: "Salieri is one of history's all-time losers—a bystander run over by a Mack truck of malicious gossip."

I love Amadeus but the real Salieri sounds great. The bit about him sadly slinking away after eavesdropping until he heard someone say something bad about his play was so relatable.

I wonder if he's gotten any fictional treatments that aren't Shaffer. He should. I'll settle for a translation of Herrmann's biography until then.

Seriously!

My mom had the book Maligned Master: The Real Story of Antonio Salieri, a bio by Volkmar Braunbehrens, and now I have it. I haven't read it tho. It's pretty cheap on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Maligned-Master-Story-Antonio-Salieri/dp/088064155X
