It's, as far as I know, not a historical quote, but taken from the
(excellent, by the way) movie AMADEUS by Milos Forman, which was based
on Peter Shaffer's stage play. In the movie, it is said to Mozart by
Emperor Joseph II, who is actually enthused about Mozart's music but is
put into a position where he needs to speak some words of criticism in
order to dampen Mozart's self satisfying manner and to still appear
sovereign. Mozart's retort: "Which few did you have in mind, Majesty?"

(It's still the best movie ever made about any classical composer.)
