Playing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1984, Tom Hulce depicted the musical prodigy as "willfully crude." What was the name of Mozart's rival in the film, played by F. Murray Abraham?

The movie played into the rumort that Mozart and the more straight-laced Salieri were bitter enemies, with some even believing that Salieri poisoned Amadeus, which is why he died so young. That theory has been debunked, with some actually believing the two were not rivals at all.
