The Maestro

A musical conductor named Ernst is known for pushing his violinists too hard in his rigorous rehearsals and in on stage performances. Ernst has a whirlwind romantic affair with his principal violinist named Katya, but when she can't keep up any longer, Ernst turns to other virtuosos with whom he can gratify his ego and improve his image on the world stage of classical music. Suddenly, a new male soloist steals the spotlight from the aging conductor and possibly even his former love, Katya. Ernst has one more chance to prove his worth to Katya, and so he creates a piece of music for violin so inspiring, when she gives the piece its debut at the concert hall, her solo improvisation is so moving that the audience is brought to tears.
