[ A. Hüttenbrenner, a pupil of Salieri, relates upon his authority (A. M. Z., XXVII., p. 797) that Mozart often came to Salieri, saying: "Lieber Papa (?) geben sie mir einige alte Partituren aus der Hofbibliothek (?), ich will sie bei Ihnen durchblättem," and that he often ate his midday meal during these studies.]

[ Mosel (Salieri, p. 211) confines this to silence on the merits of Mozart's works. But although Salieri occasionally spoke in praise of Mozart in afteryears (Hüttenbrenner, A. M. Z., XXVII., p. 797; Rochlitz, Für Freunde der Tonkunst, IV., p. 345), I have heard upon trustworthy authority in Vienna, that Salieri, even in his old age, when among confidential friends, expressed, with a passion that was painful to his hearers, the most unjust judgments on Mozart's compositions. Thayer's attempt to justify Salieri (A. M. Z., 1865, p. 241) led me to make a searching examination of the facts.]

[ "A cantata composed for Prince Aloys von Lichtenstein by W. A. Mozart," of which there is a copy in the Royal Library in Berlin, is certainly not by Mozart (242 Anh. K.).]
