Amadeus (1984) is a movie based on Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart's life.

A patron is a person, who provides the financial means for the composer. A patron pays for the music and sometimes puts pressure on the composer to finish his work. There are usually more than one patron.

A court composer is the topmost composer of the state, a pet composer of the king. In most cases a court composer has only one patron, the king, and is in secured position financially.

In Amadeus the court composer is Salieri for the king Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II. Salieri disguises himself in a mask and costume and commissions Mozart to write a requiem mass, giving him a down payment and the promise of an enormous sum upon completion. Salieri plans to kill Mozart and claim the Requiem his own work.
