It was shot at the Babelsberg and Tempelhof Studios in Berlin and on location around Xanten in the Rhineland. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Emil Hasler and Walter Kutz. Considered an important national film, the production received financial assistance from the government, and had a total budget of over two million reichsmarks. It premiered in Zwickau, the birthplace of Robert Schumann, two days before it was first screened at the Marmorhaus cinema in the capital. Originally, the film was going to star Zarah Leander as Clara Schumann, and movie posters featuring her were even distributed. However, Leander fled to Sweden, due to the ongoing war, and was recast.
The future star Hildegard Knef shot some scenes, which would have marked her film debut, but these were left out of the final cut.
