Quote from : Amadeus Movie

[Having played two pieces of music to Father Vogel, who does not recognize either]
Antonio Salieri: Can you remember no melody of mine? I was the most famous composer in Europe. I wrote 40 operas alone!
[suddenly inspired]
Antonio Salieri: Here, what about this one?
[he plays the first few bars of "Eine kleine Natchmuzik" while Father Vogel hums along]
Father Vogler: Yes, I know that! Oh, that's charming! I'm sorry, I didn't know you wrote what.
Antonio Salieri: I didn't. That was Mozart. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Father Vogler: [smile fades] The man you accuse yourself of killing.
