But Mozart really is a good example. There have been rumors circulating for ever that he was murdered by Salieri and the two were bitter rivals.

Thanks for the link! That's a good option.

I was thinking about Mozart's death, but for some reason feel a bit uncomfortable with the idea of making one of my characters be there at the time of his death. I'll have to think about it.

He wouldn't necessarily have to be there at the time of his death to know that Salieri and Mozart collaborated on a number of works or what their relationship is like.

Yes, you're right. It wouldn't have to include Mozart's death as an event.
