No No!, Not you alone, and not only you and I, but everyone approaching
the play and the film with an open mind and sensitive soul!  We should note
that Salieri was no mean slouch.  None other than Beethoven studied vocal
music with F. Murray Abraham AND dedicated his op. 12 violin sonatas in
a show of appreciation and perhaps acknowledgment to the powerful court
Kappelmeister.
