Salieri was a master of his craft in his era, the artistic father of Schubert and Beethoven. He had nothing to envy Mozart for, and for most of their lives Salieri was preferred for a lot of gigs for the emperor. Salieri's portrait in media is crazy because historical documents tell a very different story (the Mozart family was very much convinced of the existence of an Italian cabal putting down composers and directors who weren't Italian) until Salieri's senile delirium of stating that he poisoned Mozart, so you should call him Mozart, but I sense he doesn't fit neither of them.

you're taking your history from a pop-culture movie based on a book, both of which were of dubious historic value and designed to attract eyeballs.

Thanks!
