The exceptional script of this, a great example of the genre of the Wiener Film, was by Walter Reisch and Willi Forst, who also directed. The German premiere was held in Berlin on 21 August 1934, the Austrian premiere in Vienna not until 26 September of the same year.

Synopsis

The film is set in Viennese high society of about 1900. After a masked carnival ball, Gerda Harrandt (Hilde von Stolz), wife of the surgeon Carl Ludwig Harrandt (Peter Petersen), allows the fashionable artist Ferdinand von Heidenick (Adolf Wohlbrück) to paint a portrait of her wearing only a mask and a muff. This muff however belongs to Anita Keller (Olga Tschechowa), in secret the painter's lover but also the fiancée of the court orchestra director Paul Harrandt (Walter Janssen), the brother of Gerda's husband.

Le jeune compositeur Franz Schubert doit mettre sa guitare en gage pour payer son loyer. Emmy, la fille du prêteur en gage, est si séduite par son allure simple et amicale qu'elle lui fait payer un montant plus élevé que l'instrument. Bientôt les deux jeunes gens se rapprochent. Le chef d'orchestre Antonio Salieri a entendu parler du talent de Schubert, lui fait passer un entretien et l'engage comme professeur assistant. Schubert est ensuite invité à une soirée pour les nouveaux talents organisée par madame Kinsky. Quand le Viennois présente sa symphonie inachevée, au cours de son exécution, il lui vient soudainement à l'esprit plusieurs fins possibles qu'il présente dans sa ferveur immature. Le public se met à rire, Schubert est en colère et quitte la soirée.
