Vienna, 1824. In the days before the first performance of the Ninth Symphony, Beethoven needs help with copying out the charts, so a promising student of composition, Anna Holtz, 23, is sent to assist him. She not only aids the transcription of the notes, she provides guidance from the orchestra pit as Beethoven conducts the works debut. During the next two years, the final ones of Beethovens life, Anna provides assistance to the deaf, temperamental, ailing man. In return, he tutors her in composition and explains to her the ideas and principles of Romanticism. He tries to speak for God.
Anna, a talented and idealistic young, music student, is sent to transcribe orchestra music for her favourite composer just days before his performance of the 9th symphony. Shocked when she finds the man Beethoven to be over-bearing and crude, Anna only begins to understand the impetus of his genius, passion, and drive for music thru the music itself, and his often difficult mentoring style. Set in 1824 Vienna, this imagined story is both ugly and beautiful as we are given a glimpse into the amazing mind during the last days of the master composer.
