Geoffrey Colman speaks to poet Patrick Mackie about the impact that the film Amadeus had on its release in September 1984. He discovers how the film became a watershed for classical music and why the idea of "the right thing at just the right time" powerfully matches the life and impact of the composer himself in the late eighteenth century. Patrick reveals how Mozart himself seized the opportunities offered by a modernising world to launch his own musical genius.
