	Mozart VS Salieri has gone on for a long time. Long before
Hollywood got into the picture, Alexander Pushkin wrote a story about Salieri
and Mozart based on the (mistaken) notion that Salieri poisoned Mozart.
Moussorgski then saw fit to make an opera of it called "Salieri and Mozart."

Pushkin. There are books available on the letters of Mozart which shed a
great deal of light on the life of Wolfgang A. Mozart. They're interesting.
