Abstract

 

The article surveys the composer’s oeuvre and life in Vienna. Special attention is paid to the relationship between Salieri and Mozart: they used to meet personally many times (particularly at the court of Emperor Joseph the Second), and their operas would sometimes be staged on the same evening. The article reveals some facts of an acquaintance and first meetings of Salieri with his wife-to-be, as well as mentions some pieces composed by Salieri’s great pupils (Schubert, Beethoven) and dedicated to him.

Keywords: Salieri, Mozart, opera, singspiel, the 18th-century music, Joseph the Second
