His thunder, because Mozart was younger and more talented.
When Salieri sees the compositions that Mozart's wife brings in for review, he is shocked by the sheer genius and effortless brilliance of Mozart's work. The complexity and beauty of the music reveal Mozart's extraordinary talent, which contrasts sharply with Salieri's own struggles as a composer. This moment deepens Salieri's feelings of envy and inadequacy, highlighting the gulf between his mediocrity and Mozart's divine gift.

After Salieri resigned his position as Director of the Opera, the two of them became friends for a short time before Mozart's premature death.
