Old Salieri
[Salieri has played two pieces of music to Father Vogler, who does not recognize either]
Can you recall no melody of mine? I was the most famous composer in Europe. I wrote forty operas alone. [suddenly inspired] Here, what about this one? [he plays the first few bars of Eine kleine Nachtmusik]
Father Vogler
[begins to hum along as he remembered, and Salieri stops; smiling]
Yes, I know that! Oh, that's charming! I'm sorry, I didn't know you wrote that.
Old Salieri
I didn't. [Father Volger's smile fades] That was Mozart. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Father Vogel
The man you accuse yourself of killing.
