Antonio Salieri and Viennese Opera

Best-known as Mozart's envious nemesis, Antonio Salieri was actually among the leading opera composers of his age. This study seeks to restore Salieri's musical reputation, and identifies some orchestration, melodic style and form as distinctly "Salierian". It includes many excerpts from his works.
