Amadeus is a movie loosely based on Mozart's life, using the plot device of a supposed rivalry with Antonio Salieri (the first 10% of the movie is all about Salieri, even his encounter with the "giggling, dirty minded creature crawling on the floor").
Salieri is jealous when the monarch employing him as a court composer commissions Mozart to write an opera in German. He is astounded to read some original sheet music (brought secretly by Mozart's wife); there are no corrections in them, as if he had the finished music in his head and was simply transcribing it.
