She consents, on condition that he "will not play the fiddle at home." The lover, confident that he can teach her to love his music, laughingly consents. They are married, and Emiel studies hard at the music college. Hilda, Emiel 's little sister, comes to live with them and the young violinist finds that he must work to support all three of them. He is obliged to give less time to his music, and his scholarship is taken from him. The world is left empty as Katrine cannot bear the sound of the violin. Only Hilda comforts him, and together they often steal away to the seashore where Emiel plays to his sister. Isenlohr, the giver of the scholarship, is the greatest composer of the day. The people clamor for more than he is able to give, and under the popular pressure, his inspiration fails him. In despair, he seeks the ocean shore, as Beethoven did before him. There he catches the echo of Emiel's violin, and believing it to be his own creation, he hurries home and incorporates it in a symphony which once more makes him the idol of music-loving Germany. Not long after this, Katrine quarrels with Hilda. Emiel tries to soothe the child by playing to her, and Katrine in a fit of passion seized the instrument and breaks it. Emiel escapes to the seashore, where he paces back and forth, besides himself with grief. Meanwhile. Katrine repents and Hilda starts out with her small savings to buy her brother another violin. On the shore she comes upon a coatless, hatless stranger wandering up and down against the wind. She debates with herself awhile, then decides to give her money to the poor man who has no overcoat. But Isenlohr, the great composer, smiles at the child, and rousing from his dream, questions her. She tells him the whole story of Emiel. and Isenlohr asks her to lead him to his cottage. When Isenlohr stands before Emiel he holds out to him his violin. The young musician seizes it and begins to play. The composer is struck dumb, for he hears the motif of "The Song of the Shore." Then he realizes where he (Isenlohr) has received his inspiration, and that he must yield fame, opportunity, all to the young man before him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
