Synopsis

An express messenger rides to Vienna and reports at a ball given by Count Lichnowsky that Napoleon Bonaparte is approaching Vienna with his troops. The news spreads like wildfire in the city and also reaches Beethoven, who, together with his friends, is sitting in the tavern. Beethoven is very enthusiastic about the ideals embodied by Napoleon after the French Revolution. He hurries home to write a powerful and glorious symphony - which later becomes famous as Beethoven's "Eroica" - for Napoleon. After the symphony is successful, two messengers from Napoleon come to see Beethoven. They request Beethoven to participate in a reception given by the French emperor. Favouring the glamour, Napoleon has elaborated detailed clothing instructions for Beethoven. Beethoven is disappointed by his idol's superficiality and deletes the dedication to Napoleon from the title page of the symphony.

Ce film met en scène de nombreux moments de la vie de Piotr Ilitch Tchaïkovski qui illustrent au mieux la tonalité de son existence de compositeur. Il accorde une grande importance à la souffrance qu'engendra le départ de sa mère alors qu'il était tout jeune; la séquence qui l'illustre au début du film est reprise à la fin.
