[English]

here salar

leave me

alone I cannot leave alone a soul in pain

do you know who I am that makes no  difference all men are equal in God's

eyes are they offer me your

confession I can offer you God's forgiveness

how well are you trained in

music I know a little I I studied it in my  youth where here in Vienna ah you must know

this I can't say that I do

what is it it was a very popular tune  in its day I wrote it here how about

this this one brought down the  house when we played it first

hello

well I regret it is not too  familiar can you recall no  

Melody of mine I was the most famous  composer in Europe I wrote 40 operas

alone yeah what about this one

yes I know that oh that's Charming I'm  sorry I didn't know you wrote that I didn't

that was

Mozart wolf I'm a

m the man you accuse yourself of

killing you've heard that is it true

for God's sake my

son if you have something to  confess do it now give yourself some

peace

you was my

idol Mozart

I can't think of a time when I didn't  know his name I was still playing  

childish games when he was playing music  for kings and Emperors even the Pope in

Rome I admit I was jealous when I heard  the tales they told about him not of the  

brilliant little Prodigy but of his father who  had taught him everything my father did not care  

for music when I told him how I wished I could  be like Mozart he would say why do you want to  

be a trained monkey would you like me to drag  you around Europe doing tricks like a circus

streak how could I tell him what music meant to me

while my father prayed earnestly  to God to protect Commerce I would  

offer up secretly the proudest  prayer a boy could think of Lord  

make me a great composer let me celebrate  your glory through music and be celebrating

myself make me famous through the  world dear God make me Immortal  

after I die let people speak my  name forever with love for what I

wrote in return I will give you my chastity and my

industry my deepest humility every hour of my life  amen and do you know what happened a miraclean

my life changed

forever of course I knew God had arranged it all  that was obvious one one minute I was a frustrated  

boy in an obscure little town the next I was here  in Vienna city of musicians and Emperor Joseph  

the musical King in a few years I was his court  composer isn't that incredible night after  

night I sat right next to the Emperor of Austria  playing duets with him correcting the Royal sight

reading actually the man had no ear at all  but what did it matter he adored my music

everybody liked

me I liked

myself until he

came he came to viena to play some of his music at  

the residence of his employer  the the prince Archbishop of

salsburg eagerly I went there to see him

out that

night changed my

life as I wandered through the salon I played  a little game with myself this man had written  

his first concetto at the age of 4 his first  Symphony at 7 a fullscale Opera at 12 did it

show is Talent like that written on the

face which one of them could he be
