Who said that?

While my father prayed earnestly to God to protect commerce, I would offer up secretly the proudest prayer a boy could think of. Lord, make me a great composer! Let me celebrate your glory through music and be celebrated myself! Make me famous through the world, dear God! Make me immortal! After I die let people speak my name forever with love for what I wrote! In return I will give you my chastity, my industry, my deepest humility, every hour of my life, amen! Antonio
~ Antonio Salieri in the movie “Amadeus”

"do you know what happened?... a miracle!"
My father died.   It was a miracle!”
~ Antonio Salieri in the movie “Amadeus”

Music (Stabat Mater) played during the scene showing the mass for Salieri's dead father, when Salieri (child) say to God he wants to be a musician
