"There are simply too many notes." This is a line from which popular motion picture?

Here the statement: "There are simply too many notes" is from the popular motion picture titled "Amadeus" (1984). This line is spoken by Emperor Joseph II, played by Jeffrey Jones, in the film which was directed by Milos Forman. The words "Maestro, if you please" have just been used as the curtain is coming down on Mozart's opera, 'The Abduction from the Seraglio' which was commissioned by Emperor Joseph II.

The royal music-lover (Joseph II) is giving young Mozart his critique of the opera. He started by stating that there were "simply too many notes". This was a snarky review that the emperor really gave Mozart, according to some diehard music historians. But, some experts/historians say that the situation most likely occurred in a very different way.

Emperor Joseph II presumably said, ''Too beautiful for our ears, my dear Mozart, and monstrous many notes.'' Since this film's release, it is clear that the quote from the movie has truly popularized the words "too many notes" big-time. These words are now mostly used when someone wants to critique or criticize another for something that has taken place.
