Amadeus - "There are simply too many notes."
prestoagitato2

A 2-minute scene from the film Amadeus in which the emperor says Mozart's opera has simply too many notes and Mozart asks which few to cut.
HN quotes the scene humorously and analogically, for example about extremely dense Black MIDI music or whether melodies are scarce.
