The movie Amadeus falsely portrays Antonio Salieri as the commissioner of Mozart's Requiem. However, the real commissioner was an amateur musician named Franz von Walsegg, who had a habit of commissioning works by great composers, and then passing them off as his own. In this case, he was looking for a Requiem to say he wrote for his recently deceased wife.
