[post_page_title]Two extremely deep cuts for music nerds[/post_page_title]
The first Iron Man contains not one but two classical musical easter eggs. First, there’s the scene where Tony returns home to find his business partner Obadiah Stane there playing his piano. If you listen closely, there’s a hidden hint to Stane’s villainy. Specifically, he’s playing 18th-century composer Antonio Salieri’s Piano Concerto in C major.
Salieri, of course, was the supposed jealous rival of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and some say he conspired to have him killed. The second musical easter egg is Stane telling Tony the Arc Reactor’s his “ninth symphony” – alluding to the belief that after a composer writes their ninth symphony, they die.
