Some (free) online Salieri ressources

This first one talks a little about his family and uprising. It is VERY brief, but satisfying enough for my autism

The tragic teen years of composer Antonio Salieri

We look at the childhood of the unfairly maligned Antonio Salieri.

The obligatory Wikipedia page.

Antonio Salieri - Wikipedia

I really need to add some of his quotes on there some day...

Antonio Salieri - Wikiquote

This one is quite good if you know little about him.

Beyond Amadeus

The forgotten operatic legacy of Antonio Salieri

Heads up: you need to log in for this one (you can do so for free) and can only read one hour at a time, and that hour just flies by, but it's worth your while if you're interested in Salieri.

Bibliography: p. 181-183

One of my absolute favorites. Probably one of the best online sources you will find about his early career.

Antonio Salieri's Early Years in Vienna

Antonio Salieri had not turned sixteen by the time he arrived in Vienna on 15 June 1766, together with his discoverer and mentor, the compos

About his family. This only really serves for the dates of birth and death, although sources may vary.

Please note that not all his children are mentioned! It's incredibly difficult to find information about his children, their names, births and deaths. Most sources talk of 8 children, with the youngest (Henrica Salieri) being stillborn, but other sources only name 7, and the years of births and deaths are not easy to find (I might post something about it later).

Some informations about Legnago's religious buildings during the 18th century (Salieri lived there from 1750 to 1764).

Legnago Cathedral, poi

St. Martino's Cathedral has been mentioned since the first half of the twelfth century. Rebuilt between the end of the fourteenth century an

And that's most of what I have saved up actually, mostly everything else requires digging through text unrelated to him or is just repeating things that have been said already in those few links. Those are all easily accessible sources, so I think most people who took an interest in Salieri already read at least some of those, but I hope I could at least provide one new source <3

I'm posting late because it unironically was hard for me to make; in parts because it's one of my first (if not my first) real photobashing (hence the quality) but mostly because I had to (those on the server know already) cull my chicken last month, which is what inspired this mess (and @\peach0cake's headcanon) and I don't really know how I feel.

I don't believe in an afterlife, so to me, she's not "in a better place", the same way Salieri isn't, she's just gone, and it hurts because I loved her and I feel guilty, not for ending her life, but for doing it so late and letting her get to a point where she was in enough pain she refused to eat or drink. I wish I had had the strength to do something the moment I realized she wasn't going to get better, but I clung onto hope and it let her get hurt, and I can't really forgive myself for it. The only relief I have is that she looked peaceful when she went. I hope 201 years ago now, Salieri was peaceful as well.

Rest in peace Maestro, and if I'm wrong and there is an afterlife, please take care of Raptor for me (I promise you, she's very endearing).

Did you know?

Jean-Baptiste Lully (famous composer at Louis XIV's court) died of a staff (Staph.) infection.

Yes this is an awful pun, no I'm not sorry, yes it requires context, yes I should have given it before, but it would have ruined the joke, so here goes:

Lully's Te Deum was to be sung for the recovery of the king, who was suffering from an anal fistula. During one of the rehearsals, Lully lost his temper with his musicians and injured his toe with the heavy conductor's staff, which was then struck against the floor to keep time. His leg quickly became infected. He refused amputation. The gangrene spread to the rest of his body and largely infected his brain. He died shortly afterward.

And for those who don't know microbiology, "Staph." is just a nickname we give to members of the Staphylococcus genus, usually Staphylococcus aureus (my beloved), who is a common pathogenic agent, hence the joke.

I SWEAR IT IS A FUNNY PUN if just a bit nerdy

My hyperfixation brother, can we get all the valentines cards in a bundle post plz

They're so dumb, in part because that was the point (kinda) and in other part because I made this last year

There are actually two other "secret" options you can get, but those are not actual cards, so I didn't include them, so these are all the sillies

Happy 275th birthday Antonio! You grandpa- (No like, actually, he had a grandson, but I think said grandson died young)

[shiny-quill]

The most complete tree I could find online is this one, however I do find it important to note that:

It doesn't cite nearly enough sources to be considered 100% reliable

Some sources indicate that Salieri had 7 daughters instead of 6, I personally have not been able to prove either but it's interesting to know, and Google's AI does cite 7 daughters, for a total of 8 kids, however the source given directly contradicts the above screenshot, as well as the below link (his genealogy is a complete mess)

His mother's name was Anna-Maria Scachi, she is not mentioned here

Today is Florent Mothe's birthday, and I wanted to use the opportunity to say a few things (long post ahead)

First, if you're here because you're in the MOR fandom, whether we interacted or not in the past, I love you, you're amazing (except you-know-who-you-are-and-what-you-did, you suck), and if you've ever posted within the fandom, thank you for keeping this community alive, even if barely, it is fantastic being able to share a passion for something that means a lot to me (and to many others) over a decade after the tour ended, and not that many small fandoms get that luxury, so thank you

Speaking of thanks, wanted to take a moment to be thankful to Florent Mothe for his performance as Salieri, without him I don't think I would ever have found interest in Salieri, and he means the world to me. He died over 200 years ago now, yet he feels like an old friend to many (I would make a Salieri haunting joke, but I'm being somewhat serious here, so no) and I am so happy I got to visit him and pay my respects last week. I love and care so much for him, and it meant the world to me, even if I was being a crying bitch about it...

If Salieri once said he was thankful for the "happy hours music had brought him", I am thankful for his music and the happy hours it brought me. Before him, I only had a mild interest in classical music, but he managed what no one else before him could and made it fun, and interesting, made me want to learn more about it, its history, the context surrounding some pieces that might have sounded boring to me in the past, and it completely changed my perspective and I am not trying to be dramatic when I say I think it made me a better person, it helped me really start trying to look under the surface, helped me want to know more about people where I didn't care all that much in the past, and I know I'm not perfect, far from it, but also neither is anyone, and that is part of the human experience and learning more about Salieri made me understand this, it made me see some beauty in life, in being alive, in all the flaws... He wasn't perfect, and despite what I sometime say, neither was his music, but it's still beautiful, and if I wasn't already sitting when I heard his requiem (one of the last pieces of music he wrote) being played, I think it would have brought me to my knees. it's not perfect because nothing is, but it is beautiful and that's all we ask of it, and Salieri thrived for beauty and improvement over perfection in its strictest sense and I love this? There are so many things I want to say about him and his music and how it genuinely helped me become who I am today, how it brought me the few things I like about myself and allowed me some peace of mind when I was at my lowest. Even in death, the man managed to mentor, teach, comfort, and I could try but I don't think I have the skills to properly express how grateful I am for him and how much this means to me, so instead I'll just move on. I hope you rest in peace Maestro, and I hope one day you will be remembered for who you were instead of being remembered as who people accused you of being. all those who knew you knew this rumor to be false, and one day so will the average person. In the meantime, I'll fight for you.

Also wanted to say thank you to @sadnuggetsworld for also paying respect to Salieri, it meant a huge deal to me that you took the time, energy and ressources to do this, and I don't think I've actually said this yet? But it was a pleasure to meet you.

Back to Florent Mothe and then I'm done, outside of Salieri, thank you for being a good person and a great singer, your own music is very moving, love your energy, hope to meet you again... Also, I named this fella after you, and he's my son, and I love him, and that's all for me today (edit: I posted the first chapter of Devil's Quill today by the way, it's available in english here and in french here )

Opening up VGen Commissions!

Currently in a situation where things are Hectic. Some RL stuff is happening in the background of my life that I'm not keen on getting into, but money does have me worried, at least in terms of car repairs and the iPad that I've previously brought up.

If you can't commission me, that's cool, I would appreciate if you pass this post along to find someone who can drop some spare cash.

[sabusthings]

Commissions are open again! Any help is appreciated <3333333333

[cottonraincoat]

today while scrolling down the wikipedia page for the list of compositions by Antonio Salieri (as one does) I noticed this section:

Requiem masses, of which Salieri composed only two. The first, in C minor, was composed in 1804. This he wrote for his own funeral, completed twenty years before his death.

The second in D minor was composed much closer to the end of his life, and survived only in fragment. possibly never completed.

And hey, guess who else had an incomplete Requiem mass in D minor?

that's right,
