Clara is a musical prodigy forced to publish under a man's name. When she meets a brilliant critic who falls in love with the "soul" of the music, she must find a way to reveal her identity and claim both her fame and her love without ruining her career.
In 1780 Vienna,19-year-old Clara(Clara Vogel) was the secret genius behind the city's most famous but lazy male composer, writing all his hits while he partied. She was content with the money until a young, sharp-eared music critic arrived in town and claimed the famous composer was a fraud because "a man couldn't write a melody this gentle."
