Die Prinzessin und der Geiger (1925)

Michael Caviol, violinist, sees visions in which he is dominated by a god-like creature, Maliol, who promises him success so long as he loves nothing but his art. He becomes famous but shuns the love of woman until he loses his heart to Russian princess Marie Idourska. The Revolution breaks. Michael finds the leader to be Adrian Levenski, his former music master. He obtains two passports from Levenski and effects Marie's escape. Levenski and Michael fight and the latter is thrown into a flaming building, escaping badly burned. While praying in a church Marie enters and kneels beside him, no longer a princess but his love.
