* DealWithTheDevilDealWithTheDevil: Mephistopheles kicks off the main plot by claiming that Beethoven's soul is going to Hell, but he'll let him off the hook if Beethoven hands over his unpublished Tenth Symphony. When Beethoven eventually declines, Mephistopheles proposes a rather more direct deal: hand over the Tenth Symphony or he'll torture a nearby street urchin to death. After trying and failing to rationalize to himself that the fate of a random orphan isn't his concern, Beethoven takes this deal, which is then written up by Fate's son, Twist. However, Twist writes the contract such that Mephistopheles doesn't actually get anything, as he is promised the Tenth Symphony of Ludwig von Beethoven, firstborn son of Johann and Maria von Beethoven, while the famous composer is actually the ''second''born son of his parents and shares his name with their firstborn who died as an infant.

* UncommonTime: Mephistopheles' songs tend to be in 6/8 time, and many verses have one or two bars in 9/8, apparently for no reason other than to make him sound even more off-kilter.

* InspiredBy: The hypothetical 10th symphony assembled by Barry Cooper based on Beethoven's last musical sketches. It is widely known that Beethoven intended to write another symphony, but most historians doubt he was anywhere near completing a manuscript for such a work when he died.

* ItsAWonderfulPlot: In an unusual variation, it is not Beethoven's impact on others that is the focus of this trope, but rather the impact of deafness, pain and hardship upon ''him'' and his music. Though there is a brief bit where the muse reveals to Beethoven that his music would go on to inspire generations of musicians after him.
