I would love to see a revived Salieri opera

The one the showed an excerpt from in Amadeus looked interesting.

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.
