It's a line from the movie, but did it ever really happen?  The emperor 
goes to to say "Just cut a few and it will be perfect." and Mozart 
replies, "Which few did you have in mind, Majesty?"  Salieri says of the 
emperor, "Actually, the man had no ear at all."

I still can't believe we wasted a whole class watching that - it was a 
pretty good movie, but it wasn't as good history.  (They also watched a 
movie about Beethoven, but that was the week I missed - I meant to look 
it up, but never got around to it.)

Io la Musica son, ch'ai dolci accenti
So far tranquillo ogni turbato core,
Et or di nobil ira et or d'amore
Poss'infiammar le pi� gelate menti.
