I also read a short play by Alexander Pushkin called Mozart and Salieri (1832), translated by A. F. B. Clark. 

Despite being a very, very short play it has been influential, and was an inspiration for the play Amadeus (by Peter Schaffer), which in turn was adapted for film. 

The play has only two speaking roles, the composers Mozart and Salieri, and one non-speaking role (a blind old man with a fiddle). It is a dramatic telling of one of the rumors that circulated after the untimely death of Mozart, and involves jealousy and poison, as well as a meditation on the relationship of art and morality. 

Like a cherub

He brings to us some songs of paradise,

And wakens in us children of the dust

A wingless longing—then he flies away!
