During his lifetime, Antonio Salieri was very popular composer and had extensive influence in the world of opera. In fact, he wrote operas in three languages. But after his death, his works became obscure—only to receive modern attention as the result of the play and movie about Mozart called Amadeus. In the movie, Salieri is depicted as a villain, but best evidence indicates that the two composers were at least civil to each other, if not actual friends or amicable acquaintances. This edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion opens with a parade march written by Antonio Salieri for harmoniemusik, the German word used for the wind band from roughly 1775 to 1825.
