Mozart and Salieri (play)

Mozart and Salieri (Russian: «Моцарт и Сальери», translit. Motsart i Salyeri) is a poetic drama by Alexander Pushkin. Mozart and Salieri was written in 1830 as one of his four short plays known as The Little Tragedies, and was published in 1832. Based on one of the numerous rumours caused by the early death of Mozart, it was the only one of Pushkin's plays that was staged during his lifetime.
