the melodies were charming I know it's just Hollywood, but I love the beginning of "Amadeus" when the aged Salieri is trying to impress the priest by playing scraps of the music he composed. But the priest recognizes nothing.
"No?" says Salieri. "It was a very popular tune in it's day!"
The he plays a bit of "Un Keine Nachtmusik" (sp?) and the priest lights up and hums along with the tune. "I know that! You wrote that? Oh, that's charming!"
"That was Mozart" croaks Salieri.

True, but Amadeus, as good as it was, did Salieri a great disservice. He is unjustly written off by many classical music enthusiasts who would otherwise love his work.
I can’t remember where I heard it, but there was once a test done to folks—listen to a bit of music and say whether Salieri or Mozart composed it. Quite a few got it wrong.

Do you have a favorite recording of Die Schopfung? I have a Deutsche Grammophon recording of a performance by the Berliner Philharmoniker directed by Herbert Von Karajan.
