Salieri Recalls His Answered Vow, Explained：seek him out
Salieri tells Father Vogler how his rise seemed like an answer to a vow: within years he was court composer, playing duets with the Emperor, living as "a model of virtue." Then everything changed - "Until he came." Eagerly he goes to Salzburg to seek Mozart out, playing a private game about whether genius is visible on a face.

What's really going on
The scene is a self-defense. Salieri explains his early success as a divine answer, so that his later hatred can look like betrayal by God rather than jealousy of a rival. The details he chooses are telling: he was "a model of virtue," he "kept my hands off women," he taught students for free, and "Work, that was all my life." He is building a case that he held up his end of the bargain. Against that account stands one short line - "Until he came" - which is where the whole story turns. Then comes the search, and the private game of reading faces, which shows how much he already needs to know what a genius looks like.

I knew God had arranged it all. That was obvious.Salieri's certainty that his promotion was divinely planned, the belief that turns later events into a betrayal rather than bad luck.
In a few years,I was his court composer. Isn't that incredible?The evidence he offers for the bargain: a small-town boy becomes court composer in a few years, which he reads as a sign.
...wouldn't you have thought God had accepted your vow?The question that frames the whole confession - he is asking the priest to agree that the deal looked sealed.
Work,that was all my life.His claim of discipline, offered as proof of worth; work is presented as virtue and as the reason he deserved more.
Eagerly,I went there to seek him out.The shift from boast to pursuit: having heard about Mozart, he cannot wait to find him and measure himself against the rumored genius.
このシーンについての質問
What vow does Salieri keep talking about?
Early in life he promised God that he would live purely and work hard in exchange for musical success. He believed the vow had been honored when he became court composer.
Why does Salieri believe God accepted his vow?
Because his rise is exactly what he asked for: a small-town boy becomes court composer within a few years and plays duets with the Emperor. He reads events as a direct answer.
Why does Salieri describe himself as a model of virtue?
He wants the priest to see that he held up his side of the bargain. The list of discipline - celibacy, hard work, free teaching - is evidence in the case he is building.
Why does Salieri go to Salzburg?
He has heard about Mozart and wants to see him in person. His eagerness to seek him out shows how much the question of Mozart's genius already possesses him.
What is Salieri's little game?
In the salon he studies the guests and tries to guess which one is Mozart by looking for signs of talent in their faces. It is a private test of whether genius is visible.
