Åh, Amadeus är en sång skriven och komponerad av Freddie Hansson och Peo Thyrén, och ursprungligen inspelad av Lena Philipsson på hennes debutalbum Kärleken är evig, som först släpptes i april 1986.[1]
Sångtexten innehåller referenser till 1700-talskompositören Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, och hans opera Trollflöjten.
Lena Philipssons inspelning låg på Svensktoppen mellan 1 juni och 28 september 1986, och placerade sig som bäst på sjunde plats under det sammanlagt nio veckor långa listbesöket.
Sången har också spelats in av sångerskan Leyla Norgren, och utkom då på singel samma år, med "Håll mig hårt" som B-sida.[2]

This posthumous portrait of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was painted by Barbara Kraft at the request of Joseph Sonnleithner in 1819, long after Mozart died. Sonnleithner, who was making a "collection of portraits in oils of well-known composers" (Deutsch) wrote to Mozart's still-living sister Maria Anna ("Nannerl"), asking her to lend a picture to Kraft (a well-known artist working in Salzburg). Here is part of Nannerl's reply:
- ... [her friend ] Councillor von Drossdick ... sent the artist to me to see all 3 [of my] pictures [of Mozart], the one that was painted when he came back from the Italian journey is the oldest, he was then just 16 years old, but as he had just got up from a serious illness, the picture looks sickly and very yellow; the picture in the family portrait when he was 22 years old is very good, and the miniature, when he was 26 years old, is the most recent I have, I therefore shewed this one to the painter first; it seemed to me from her silence that is would not be very easy to enlarge it, I therefore had to shew her the family portrait and the other one, too. ... she wants to take her copy from the family portrait and introduce only those features from the small picture which make him look somewhat older than in the big picture."
Deutsch identifies the three pictures as:
- "Perhaps" the portrait by Knoller, Milan 1773. [1]
- The family portrait by della Croce.
- A lost small version of the famous portrait by Joseph Lange.
