to wait last night.

He must have gone to sleep.

Every cab driver will have the story by noon.

Oh, oh, oh.

Are you worried about Moritz will say?

He never listens to scandal.

Oh, I'll do it.

I wish that I...

I know I promise not to say it, but I love you.

I hate having to meet you in dressing rooms in here.

He never comes here without asking.

It's all so civilized.

And I accept it, but only because I have to.

Well, I've lived with Moritz for eight years.

I don't love him, but I've come to respect him.

No, no.

You must understand.

You trust me never to do anything that will make him look foolish.

Like being seen with me.

Oh, yeah, well.

Look, I try to understand, but it's hard.

I just want to be with you.

Figure me.

Sometimes you seem so young.

We both are.

We are.

And we shall always be on a journey.

I never knew what it meant to be alive until I met you.

Nothing before exists.

And we shall never change.

Oh, I think I'd love you because you make me believe that.

A woman like that.

Don't you care that your sisters know?

It is no concern of theirs.

They are scandal everywhere.

You complain because there were too many women now.

You complain because there's only one.

Yes, I want you to settle down.

But a woman like that.

I have no what to speak about.

No right.

What have I lived for?

Does it use to owe your popularity

to be on a broken down opera, see her?

No.

To see you take your father's place and be what he could have been.

With your help?

You need it to be nursed and guided.

Oh, yes, we do well.

But even now without someone to organize the orchestra

as the concerts, the sheet music, the tours,

we'd soon be in debt and lay in men off.

And I shan't last forever.

I wanted you to find someone who could help you to take my place.

Hetty traffic is too old.

But you were older than father?

Two years, not ten.

Come along, Lena.

Let's go and help Aunt Anel in the kitchen.

I'm sorry.

I thought you'd be alone.

What is it?

Mother?

Hetty?

As usual.

I can't go and live in here much longer.

S

Everyone knows about Hetty.

She gave up a career from millionaire.

They lived together yet she never married her.

She couldn't.

Strange how people flout convention by living together.

Yet they won't marry because of their religious convictions,

which can't be too important,

or they would never have lived together in the first place.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

What can I do?

Well, one of you has to decide.

But for everyone's sake, you have to be absolutely sure.

Mr. Hasling is here.

What's he invited?

It's your publish to be respectful.

Invitations?

Since when did I need an invitation to visit the Struthers?

Use it.

About rather than you, Hagen.

Hello, genius.

Hello, miser.

Will you hear what he calls me when I bring wine?

I shouldn't say things like that.

Oh, I knew he doesn't mean it.

Well, I'll go and see how the girls are getting on with love.

They can manage, mother.

Stay with us.

That's what I like to see.

Loving sons, successful brothers.

Now, what can you give me?

That's what he's really come for.

What have you got for me?

Nothing.

But they told me last night at the Spare of Marvelous Eupies

and were asked to weaken the Sophia room.

I want to do some more work on them before they publish.

I see.

I let myself in.

I hope you don't buy in Madame.

Live rock, gentlemen.

Have you taken up a fiddle now?

If I had, I'd be a musician, not a secretary.

It's old A-monze. I met him on the way up.

I'm getting old, Mrs. Struthers.

I'm getting old, thank you.

I thought I was coming to give Joseph his lesson.

I was halfway here already before I remembered

that being asked to lunch.

So you're still playing?

Of course I am.

I taught Shawnee.

I taught Joseph and I'll teach their sons if they have any.

You haven't retired.

Never.

At any written, not until they make your undirector of music at the court.

Oh, it is.

If anybody's deserved it, he has.

Well, have you played it for him yet?

What?

The new piece.

They were both working on yesterday.

I liked it.

It wasn't finished yet.

Something you were working on together.

It was only a joke.

Come on.

Excuse me.

Well, let's hear it.

One, two.

One, two.

Ed is being to the cemetery.

The London's at your father's grave have been stolen.

Sometime during the night.

Have you been to the police?

Yes.

Did they know who took them?

They were sold to a pawnbroker.

Goodbye.

Emily Trampusch.

What have they done with her?

Nothing.

She said she can do what she likes with her husband's grave.

I thought she was dead.

I've sold them.

I had the right to.

We can't talk here.

Oh.

Good, uh.

Better come inside.

You.

Called me, Anna.

I wasn't expecting anyone.

Change days.

Still.

I'm not complaining.

I'm a...

a...

housekeeper.

To a coach, my next.

He's a good man.

So you're doing all right?

No, I'm not doing all right.

I wouldn't have taken those things otherwise.

If you'd sent me words.

I don't want charity.

Not from you.

What about the children?

They all left me.

Oh.

Left.

Left me.

Oh.

Left me.

Oh.

Though he talked about you a lot, he was proud of you.

But it's all so long ago.

Sometimes I can hardly remember.

And then I do.

I looked for you.

Where did you go?

Anywhere with anyone I didn't care.

But I never thought I did.

You have to stay.

I wouldn't.

Even a short time ago, I wouldn't.

But where can I go?

I can give you a...

I don't want your money.

What are you doing here?

Who said you could come here?

I thought I could help.

Well...

You have the pawn ticket.

Somewhere.

I'll pay you for it.

Set my father's violin.

I'll buy it.

Yeah.

I'm the music.

I'll take that.

Sit.

I'll take that.

Sit.

I'll take that.

No, don't take it, please.

Why?

It's all I have left.

He said you never understand what it was like.

He loved me.

I'll never forget that.

Don't.

What the hell?

I do it all again.

I do it all again.

For those few years.

She was pretty,

and my father loved her.

Everyone grows old.

Not like that.

And yet she still remembers how it was.

She was pretty.

And my father loved her.

Everyone grows old.

Not like that.

And yet she still remembers how it was.

They didn't care what anyone thought.

Whatever happened, they had each other.

Could we be like that?

Could you?

I'm sorry.

Librock, will you tell Joseph I shall not be conducting this evening?

I'll be the best.

What?

They're here.

They've just got out of a carriage.

Can you believe it?

The first thing I knew was last night.

I knew.

I was in bed.

You come to the stiffness tomorrow morning and step in your trunk to be a witness.

There they were.

Married.

These are my sisters.

Anel and Terese.

Hello. Oh, Shani.

I hope we shall be good friends.

Mother.

You haven't greeted my wife.

I welcome you because of my son.

Mrs. Strauss.

My head's spinning.

It is.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Mrs. Strauss.

My head's spinning.

It was a champagne.

I know I can work here.

I can feel it.

I had a design specially for you.

I don't want a husband who's out every night.

From now on he was right more.

And let Joseph do more of the conducting.

Whatever you say.

We must think about the future.

Not just the present.

You know everything.

Nearly everything.

You're happy.

Completely.

If only...

Don't worry.

It's just her way she'll come round in time.

So, Joseph and Caroline have gone.

Shani's first party at the new house.

I'm surprised you didn't go with them.

She could have.

Mother?

I said you can all do as you please.

Fancy Shani getting married.

Not as if he had to.

If I were in his place I'd take a nothing less than a princess.

Eddie.

Would you still like to be a conductor?

Well, if only to show how easy it is.

Easy.

Yes.

And the music.

People only like it because he plays it so often.

I write music too.

If only I could play it they'd like it just as much.

No, it's not so simple, Eddie.

You only like the idea of it.

The fame and the money of your success.

You write because you want.

Shani because he has to.

What's this?

His first horse.

He wrote it when he was six.

Be glad of your own career.

It's not your whole life.

And you can't lose it overnight.

None of the others will come.

No.

Jesus, it's not enough of us.

It's a party.

Let them smoke if he wants to.

All right.

Whoa, these people.

I don't know half of them.

They're Hetty's friends.

Very influential.

I think it's wonderful.

Why have a video team?

I think so.

I think so.

I think so.

I think so.

I think so.

I think so.

I think so.

I think so.

Why have a video team?

Why not?

Exactly.

If people want to be intellectual and talk politics,

I don't see why I can't play billions.

Come on, let's go and find Hetty.

I'm out, Caroline.

Come and sit down.

No, Joseph.

Hetty says you want a payment for every sheet of your music that's sold.

Yes.

Well, if people want to buy Johann's music,

then it's only right that you should get some sort of royalty from the sale of it.

Yeah, yeah.

But how much would this royalty be?

We can decide that later.

As long as we're agreed in principle.

That's some of the new music they're playing now.

It should sell.

Now, when can I have it?

Oh, you can't.

At least.

Not yet.

We have a contract.

Chads.

Mr. Haslinger.

From now on, Johann's music will only be published when he decides at his time.

He doesn't want to meet your heavy music anymore.

And when he decides at his time.

He doesn't want to meet your heavy music anymore.

Well, there are other people waiting to be published without any of this royalty business.

But I must tell you young father came to see me.

He wanted a new polka, some horses of yours to play at the court.

I had to tell him I didn't have them.

You've waited all these years to have his music played there.

The Emperor, now he's screwed it all away.

Why?

I don't know.

Does she want to ruin him?

Can't you say something?

It's no concern of mine anymore.

I'm going to do it.

Direct.

Empyrean and royal director of music to the court.

At last.

Isn't it wonderful?

How did she do it?

By not letting any of his music be published.

They wanted it for the court ball, but the only way to get it was if he played it.

Oh, she is splendid, mother.

You would like her.

Shani wants to see you.

He knows where I live.

He wants you to meet Teddy.

Why don't you call on them?

No.

You could come with me this afternoon.

Eddie will be there.

Eddie?

He likes it.

He's there quite often.

He never told me.

So you play the violin?

And compose a bit, in my spare time.

Really?

I'd like to hear something of yours.

What would I?

Joseph's health isn't good.

Now that he's taking over the orchestra, maybe too much for him.

Poor Pepe.

He still gets nervous, you know.

But you haven't the same nervous temperament?

That must be a great help to you in your career.

It helps me not to take it too seriously.

Would you leave us for a minute, please, Eddie?

Of course.

I'll take a stroll in the garden.

Well, what do you think?

He's in the diplomatic service.

It means nothing to him.

Nothing ever has.

I don't believe it.

What does he know about music?

You know.

Mother?

Mother!

I've got it.

I've got the orchestra.

What?

Your hand is giving up conducting, heading

a suggestion that I share the orchestra with Joseph.

And Shani agreed.

Mm-hmm.

I've got a performance.

I'm to have my picture taken.

We have to compose and get something together.

All three of us.

You accept it?

Accepted.

It's what I've waited for all my life.

Only I never thought I'd get it.

Oh, mother, she is marvelous.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

You are not going to drink too much.

I'll be okay.

I'll be fine.

I'll be fine.

You want me to drink too much.

I'll be fine.

I'll be fine.

I'm not ready yet.

I'm not as quick as you two nowadays.

But we'll be late.

Then you go on.

You are coming, aren't you?

Of course.

But I'm too old to spend a whole evening in a ballroom.

Bye, mother.

You go on, I'll follow in my own time.

Bye, mother.

Don't be long.

I'll be fine.

I'll be fine.

I'll be fine.

You're right.

Johan.

John.

Why didn't we go?

The streets were full.

She was buried like a queen.

I don't want to take care.

We should have been there.

Oh, stop playing that game.

I'm sorry.

I know how you feel.

Do you?

No.

No, I don't.

You won't even admit she's dead.

You behave as if nothing had happened.

No one can understand you.

They don't need to.

Well, I do.

The only one they'll blame is me.

Why?

Because I came between you both.

When she felt she was no longer needed,

she just gave up.

The more successful we were, the more useless she felt.

I know you've wanted to go and see her.

Nobody blames you.

What about you?

I married a man I thought loved me.

No, it's as if I don't know you anymore.

Nothing's changed.

Then why are you so cold?

I'll be kind again.

But it is sick.

Take that off.

I won't have death in this house. Take it off.

You'll see.

In a few months, everything will be as it was.

Nothing will have changed.

I don't expect you'll come to my funeral.

What?

Don't make the mistake others have.

He feels things, perhaps, more deeply than any others.

In many ways, I wish I were like him.

How?

Oh, he can make himself forget about sickness, death.

And all the time, I feel it coming closer.

One day, it'll be me.

My God, you're as morbid as he is. You're still young.

All is safe.

I never liked tours.

I can't help thinking I would just disappear.

Leave nothing.

Eddie.

Will you promise if anything should happen to me?

You look after my music.

You won't let it be lost to you, spy other people.

Yes, but promise.

Very well. I promise.

You must try not to resent Johann so much.

I know you think he leaves you out.

No doubt he has his reasons.

It doesn't mean he underestimates you.

After all, with me and Warsaw, the whole orchestra in Vienna is yours now.

Interrupting?

Not really.

I think it's wise to let Joseph go.

Who's done it before?

Yes, but it might be good for us.

I've always loved traveling with you.

Why don't we do this tour ourselves and get away from everything and everyone?

I can't.

I know it.

Too much to catch up on.

A sheet music is doing even better than we expected.

You could afford to try something different.

Many people write dances.

Not again.

Just because you started in a dance hall, it doesn't mean you have to stay there.

My family has always worked.

Exactly.

You can't see beyond the limits set by your family.

I know what I can do.

Without trying anything new.

You could write a letter to me.

You could write a musical play or a ballet.

It's not what people expect from me.

Oh, sure.

You proved yourself over and over.

You don't have to be ashamed of your beginnings anymore.

I know my talents and my limitations.

The ones for story about your mother.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that.

It's only that I believe in you so much.

I won't disturb you anymore.

Hattie.

Let's not argue.

I want things to stay just as they are.

Here with you.

He knows you're not well.

I'm well enough.

Anyway, we can't afford to turn down the money.

I've put your warmest things at the bottom.

I'll be home before the real winter.

I'll finish these when I get back.

I wish you were coming with me.

You're right.

Every day.

You must be tired of hearing how much I love you.

We've got visitors.

Who?

Come and see. You're like them.

Hattie, I wish I'd seen you in that.

They see you are magnificent.

Thank you, sir.

Johann, this flatter is Max Steiner,

Director of the Theodanderveam.

Of course.

May I present Maddy Geistinger?

Ms Geistinger.

You mustn't laugh at me for all these, Ms Geistinger.

My wife insists.

Although I think it makes it look like a ballerina's dressing room.

Marie was just saying they don't do you justice.

She's even more charming off stage than on.

You've seen me.

I mean, you've been to the theatre.

Whatever I can drag in there.

I will both agree.

You have a delightful voice.

Thank you.

Do I gather you don't care for the theatre very much?

Oh, no, I enjoy it.

It's just that I very rarely seem to have the time.

You don't conduct so much nowadays?

No, I leave that to my brothers.

Joseph's a very fine musician.

And Eddie.

Handsome Eddie.

Hey, does that what they call him?

Yes, I think he's divine.

All the girls adore him.

When he's conducting, he makes you want to dance and dance forever.

And he's so modest.

Eddie?

Yes.

Yes.

He will never admit which of the new pieces it is.

Whenever he plays, well, he just puts on his program by Strauss.

Oh, very modest.

Yes, isn't he?

So, you keep very busy.

Fairly.

He never knows when to stop.

So you won't have time to write anything for me.

For you.

A song.

I hope you'll be happy.

I hope you'll write one for me.

That's why she taught me to bring her to meet you.

I'm terribly sorry.

I don't write songs.

You see, I told you, Marie.

Not even for Hatties.

Why should he write one for you?

Why should he write a song?

But something bigger for the theatre.

That might be a different matter.

I see you found an ally.

I have others.

Often, but I said you should try.

He was merely being polite.

I know nothing about words or the theatre.

Anyway, I have something far more important to do.

With your permission, I'll try to find something that may tempt you.

As you will.

What are you working on now?

Just for a change.

A waltz.

Can we hear it?

What there is of it.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

May I?

Of course.

No.

Thank you.

When met your old publisher, Haslinger, today?

How was he?

Green.

Raging at how well the Straus is have done.

He'd exploited them for so long he couldn't bring himself to accept new terms and so on.

He's lost thousands.

Don't you ever feel jealous?

I'm used to it.

We will always adore him.

And why not?

No.

What else does he say?

He's tired of rehearsing and trying to keep cool trouble.

You could never sound anything going wrong, not even one wrong note.

All right, I'll send him replacements.

Should we tell Sean?

There's no point.

Why not?

He's not one of us any longer.

Thank you.

All he does is collect the royalties from balls and concerts

we play at.

He left the orchestra to us.

He has nothing to do with him anymore.

He'd want to know about Joseph.

He wouldn't be interested.

He'd find it unpleasant and put it out of his mind

like everything else.

Should we take Max's offer?

Why not?

I'd like to see what's her name.

Yes, I'll confess I didn't really remember her at all.

So I'd quite like to see if she's any good.

You coming to bed?

Not just yet.

You're going to work.

Just for a little.

Well, don't stay up too late.

No.

Good night.

Night.

EDD.

Oh, sure.

Did you work all night?

Oh, yeah, you promised.

But I finished it.

At least the basic shape.

So what?

The new waltz.

What is it?

How many waltzs have you written a hundred?

Roundabout.

And ten themes to a waltz.

Not counting the polkas and glops, that's over a thousand.

Most of them forgotten.

For an operator you need eight.

Ten at the most and then you've got something of quality.

Something that will last.

But this is something special.

Look, I was working on something else and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

A core all work.

What?

Opening section and coda.

Now these are the words.

I've taken them from two different poems.

Yes.

What?

Well, you've chosen two very different poems.

But they go together.

Oh, sure.

You arrived when you said you had no feeling for words.

Is this dreadful?

What do you mean?

Just listen.

Vienna be gay.

Poetry's in prey.

Carnivals come.

Ho hum.

Ho hum.

You don't understand.

It's meant to be satirical.

Oh, it's modern satirical.

It's ridiculous.

You can't be serious.

Why?

Well, nobody could sing words like those.

I'm a sigma.

I think they fit perfectly on.

Well, you asked my opinion.

I don't ask the piano what notes I'm to play.

You sneer at everything I do.

That's nonsense.

My opinion matters to everyone except you.

Indeed.

Oh, no, you just can't be wrong.

You must always be right.

I'm right about this.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

Very well.

I thought you ought to see this.

What is it?

It's a telegram.

From Warsaw.

Caroline's gone to Warsaw to bring him back.

It may have faded from tension,

but before anyone could catch him,

he fell from the platform.

Will he live?

He has periods of consciousness?

All depends on the amount of internal injury.

So long as he's kept quiet and not moved,

he may have a chance.

Very slight chance, I'm afraid.

Thank you.

Caroline.

I'm still here.

There's someone else.

Pepe.

She'll move.

The doctor said...

I didn't think you'd go.

Joseph needs a special experience.

Perhaps.

We won't talk about it now.

I'm sorry.

I let you down.

You did me a favor.

I needed to get out of the house.

I'll take the concerts till you're fit again.

All you have to do is get will.

Bye.

Please.

It was my fault.

If I hadn't moved him,

if I hadn't brought him back to Vienna.

You mustn't blame yourself.

If it was anyone's fault, it was mine.

No. He wanted to go.

He said he'd always be grateful to you.

And you mustn't worry. We'll look after you and Lena.

I don't know how to thank you.

We are your family. He'd have done the same for me.

You look after his music. The rest of the things not published. You've got to do.

Of course.

There's nothing here.

What?

It's empty.

Well, but it can't be.

Everyone knows what's happened in our family.

I've announced that we've cancelled all engagements for the time being.

And yet we have been ordered.

The orchestra has been ordered to appear at a garlable.

Ordered? Who by?

Prince Methanique to cement the Austrian French Alliance.

At the court.

It's as good as an imperial command.

Then you can't get out of it.

No. Anyway, it's not my problem.

It isn't me they want. They want you and your music.

I've delivered my message. No doubt I'll be seeing you.

Eddie, Eddie, please.

I seem to have spent this whole year in mourning.

But what hurt him most?

The command or the fact they wanted me?

But the thing is he's right.

They throw you flowers and they forget your human.

I can't do it.

You'll have to.

Methanique is speaking for the emperor.

Yes.

They want something new.

Exactly. They want something special, patriotic.

And I don't feel like writing now.

Is there nothing you could use?

No.

A coral was?

It was a failure.

It was only because of the silly words.

As you predicted, I should always listen to you, my love.

Then listen to me now.
