The piece also appears to show the rivalry between the two was not especially fierce . It provides more evidence that Salieri played no role in Mozart’s death in 1791 at the age of 35. The play and Oscar-winning film “Amadeus” detailed such a murderous rivalry. The collaborative score was written in 1785. That was during one of the most fruitful periods of Mozart’s career.
