IMMORTAL BELOVED QUESTIONNAIRE
Ludwig van Beethoven was a complicated man; musical genius, curmudgeon, lover of women
but never married, an uncompromising person. This film charts his life and speculates upon the
possible eventual recipient of his letter to his “Immortal Beloved”. Although the conclusion of
the film regarding this recipient is not shared by most historians and musicologists, the musical
journey that Beethoven endured is, for the most part, accurate. Gary Oldman’s own musical
talent is used to great effect in this film (he was training to become a concert pianist in his
teens and switched his career path to become an actor), although he does not actually play on
the soundtrack. Those are Oldman’s own hands you see on the piano in the film.
Each question is worth 20 points. Please answer as fully as possible – the more you write the

point per error, including repeated errors of the above. Points will be deducted for answers
short of the question minimum at a rate of one point per word.
1) Share your impressions of one scene in which Beethoven’s internal agony over his
encroaching deafness was overwhelming. (50 words or more)
2) “It is the power of music to carry one directly into the mental state of the composer. The
listener has no choice. It is like hypnotism.” Beethoven writes this to Schindler in the
film. Is there a piece of music, or a particular style of music that has this effect on you?

seen the film? Would you recommend it to them or not? Give specific examples to back
up your thoughts. (50 words or more)
AMADEUS QUESTIONNAIRE
Amadeus was a successful play written by Peter Shaffer. The screenplay for the movie was
written by Shaffer and Milos Forman, the director. Shaffer insisted that he have complete
artistic control of the script. The film, while based on the play, is substantially different. In real
life Salieri and Mozart were not sworn enemies and Salieri did not hide his identity to pay
Mozart to write a requiem mass that he would later try to pass off as his own!
