1* Mozart may be an annoying, rude, mischievous, brat of a ManChild, but that doesn't overshadow his genius. He was able to repeat and improve Salieri's welcome march by ear mere minutes after hearing it (and hearing it performed badly, at that). He manages to convince Emperor Joseph to let him perform ''Theatre/TheMarriageOfFigaro''. When his dad dies, what does he do to show his grief? Creates the world's first dark opera in the form of ''Theatre/DonGiovanni''. Last but not least he was determined to play through ''Theatre/TheMagicFlute'' until he passes out. As impulsive and carefree and immature he was, he took his work very seriously.
2* Constanze sneaks away various pieces her husband has been working on, offering them to Salieri for a price. Salieri begins flipping through the portfolio... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th_ro9CiASc only to come across some of the most beautiful sheet music he ever saw]]. Stunning him further, he sees they are first drafts without any corrections, as though Mozart already completed them in thought before committing to paper.[[note]]This was based on erroneous 19th Century biographies about Mozart's genius[[/note]] It is in this moment, Salieri ''truly'' understands his colleague's divine touch... [[RageAgainstTheHeavens driving him even further to envy and revenge]].
3* As wicked as it was, Salieri's scheme was ''brilliant''.
4* Movie's version of the finale of Don Giovanni, which is awesome by his own right, but the movie just set the bar a bit higher by having Commandatore '''''[[AC:ENTER BY BREAKING A HOLE TROUGH THE WALL!!!]]'''''
