The film depicts Beethoven conducting the premier of his Ninth Symphony with Anna's help and at the end her turning him around at the podium to see the thunderous applause. In reality, Michael Umlauf conducted and although Beethoven was on stage keeping tempo, the orchestra had been told to ignore him. At the end of the performance it was one of the soloists, Caroline Unger, who turned him around to see the enthusiastic applause of the audience. Indeed, it's hard to see the point of what Anna is doing as depicted in the film. Beethoven would know all the correct tempi and where he is in the score himself. If the orchestra goes wrong, they can't see Anna, who's the only person who could put them right again if Beethoven can't hear them.
