Was Amadeus part of a gang of wolves?

Did you know a version of that particular piece actually got in the charts in 1971? It was this version:

Who would have imagined something like this in the Top 10 alongside the Rolling Stones? Quite a contrast, isn't it? Lol:)

I did not.    I cannot tell one classical piece from the next, if you want to know the truth.  This score sounds familiar though.  I have heard this many times.    I like the classics, but I don't study them much.

I'm not an expert on classical music myself, but I do know a few pieces and that one was one of them. I probably only knew it because I heard it a lot on the radio when I was a kid, and that was mainly because of its commercial success. I don't know what made it become a hit, unless it was featured in a movie soundtrack.
