[Varian wonders if Salieri is the victim of strange, memory-vivid dreams, too. He's not usually like this, so...it would explain a lot.

Whether or not he tells Varian more than this is up to him, of course. Varian has every intention to stay and try to help either way.]

I gotcha...I'm not a musician or anything, but I know that has to be frustrating. It's different when you can't get a sound right.

[And he knows how much Salieri's music means to him.]

Maybe...do you think it would help to have someone else listen to what you have so far? As a second opinion, maybe?
