Raspravlja se o tome da izazovni portret skladateljeve glazbene osobnosti oДЌituje elemente nesklada i paradoksalnosti, kao ЕЎto to sugerira i dominantna struja znanosti o Mozartu.

U ovom se ДЌlanku istraЕѕuje film Amadeus kao predstavljanje glazbenog genija. Understood in this way, AmadeusвЂ™s soundtrack offers deep insight into human character and emotion, and, ultimately, also into MozartвЂ™s own consummate grasp of human existence. In this regard, the work of Leonard Ratner, Wye Jamison Allanbrook and Stephen Rumph serves as points of departure for reading MozartвЂ™s music as based in a rich lexicon of expressive signs and symbols.

In terms of an interpretive frame of reference, SalieriвЂ™s dramatic monologue is one point of entry through which MozartвЂ™s persona is creatively construed in Amadeus, while the filmвЂ™s soundtrack may be seen as another, acting as a вЂsecond narrativeвЂ™ that illuminates MozartвЂ™s inner being in a profound and extraordinary way. While it is acknowledged that the film fails to exemplify MozartвЂ™s life story factually or objectively, it is found simultaneously that the core narrative content is corroborated by authoritative biographical sources. It is argued that the compelling portrayal of the composerвЂ™s artistic persona displays elements of incongruity and paradox, as also suggested in mainstream Mozart scholarship. In this article, the film Amadeus is studied as a representation of musical genius.
