The way it was (at least according to MGM):
For Robert Schumann’s birthday, here’s a clip from “Song of Love” (1947), with Paul Henreid as Schumann, Katharine Hepburn as Clara, and Robert Walker as Brahms. It’s also amusing to see Henry Daniell (as Liszt) playing something other than a villain, for a change. That’s Arthur Rubinstein on the soundtrack.
