       | How much we enjoyed singing that song in school music classes.
       | And the teachers couldn't even say something, it's Mozart and
       | therefore culture.

         | At the See Also section, there is a link to "Mozart and
         | scatology" explaining it. Definitely not a particular aspect of
         | his life that they teach you in primary school Music class.

           | Even though its historical accuracy isn't great, the movie
           | Amadeus captures that aspect of Mozart's personality quite
           | well.

         | No special reason.
         | 
         | Mozart is famous for being childish and improper. He loved ass-
         | related jokes.

           | Highly recommend the 1984 Oscar-winning movie about him
           | ("Amadeus").
           | 
           | Entertaining, well acted, and gives a bit of background into
           | his life.

             | My favourite part is when Mozart was messing with Salieri's
             | piece.

             | And that laugh... I'll never get that laugh out of my head.
             | 
             | Salieri was painted in quite a negative light in the film,
             | though. He was actually a decent musician and a very good
             | teacher. The portrayal as a bitter, envious composer was
             | probably created just to provide a meaningful villain
             | against Mozart in the film.
