Antonio Salieri

Japanese: サリエリ - さりえり(英語表記)Antonio Salieri
Antonio Salieri

Italian composer. Born in Legnago near Verona. He lived in Vienna from the age of 16, where he gained fame for his elegant operas. He served as the court conductor from 1788 until the year before his death. His major works include over 40 operas, including "Venetian Fair" (premiered in 1772). He also made a great contribution as a teacher to Beethoven and Schubert. However, after his death, Salieri's name became famous due to a rumor that he had poisoned Mozart, which was spread in his later years. This rumor has been completely denied today. Other literary works based on this legend include Pushkin's dramatic poem "Mozart and Salieri" (1830) and Peter Schaffer's play "Amadeus" (1979).

Japanese:

イタリアの作曲家。ベローナ近郊のレニャーゴに生まれる。16歳からウィーンに住み、流麗な作風のオペラで名声を博し、1788年から同地で没する前年まで宮廷楽長の要職にあった。主要作品に『ベネチアの定期市』(1772初演)など四十数曲のオペラがある。また教師としてベートーベンやシューベルトを教えた功績も大きい。しかしその死後、サリエリの名前は、晩年にたてられたモーツァルト毒殺のうわさで有名となってしまった。この風説は今日では完全に否定されている。なお、この伝説を題材とした文学作品に、プーシキンの劇詩『モーツァルトとサリエリ』(1830)、ピーター・シャファーの戯曲『アマデウス』(1979)がある。
