Ok, well, it's been lovely playing so far! I just need to say that, although in the real world Salieri didn't feud against Mozart, blaspheme, or indeed end up a mediocre and forgotten composer, in Amadeus-canon he's definitely did all three. So whilst flattery and so forth is fine if people who might know his stuff mention it, he'll be rather disparaging of it all. It might be better not to mention it, in fact.

I'm just throwing out a few names of people I think Salieri would enjoy talking to- [livejournal.com profile] mastercomposer, who Salieri would have taught in his childhood, (I'm playing around 1801, when Beethoven would have first started to become deaf), [livejournal.com profile] musical_muse, who Salieri is likely to hate, as he would feel she cheated him out of his rightful talent, and indeed any musical character.

Well, I hope that wasn't all too presumptious. :)
