Tradition and the love of a good yarn have long cast Antonio Salieri as the murderer of Mozart and a musical hack. Erica Jeal explodes the myth
It's hard to say which view of Antonio Salieri is more firmly embedded: that he was the tormentor who drove Mozart to an early grave - perhaps even using a spot of arsenic just to make sure - or that he was a lousy composer. A few clunky numbers on the soundtrack of Amadeus, Milos Forman's 1984 film of Peter Shaffer's play, are all most of us will have heard of Salieri's music. Was there any more to him as a composer than that?
