THE CAST
Johann 'Schani' Strauss II (as Fernand Gravet)
The protagonist of the movie, here is the short intro from answer.com: Johann Strauss II (1825-1899), or Johann Strauss Jr., composer, known as the "Waltz King", son of Johann I. You can find much information on internet or click here to read something about the family of Johann Strauss. They're all great composers.
Poldi Vogelhuber
Became the wife of Strauss II later. In the dialog she was called "Poly".
Carla Donner
A singer and noble. Also called "Donna".
FIRST CLIP
At that time waltz was not recognized among nobles, but Strauss just quit his job from the bank and decided to form his own orchestra just with some friends and relatives. "Shiney" refer to Strauss.
Poly: Shiney if you want to write Waltz you write Waltz.
...
Poly: Shiney whatever career you choose it will be the very highest.
SECOND CLIP
Strauss said on the wedding dinner. The bride was Poly of course. The guest included many friends in the Strauss' orchestra.
...
Tonight I found even more than happiness
More that our success together
And believe me you can't find the riches palaces
You can't find any heart cover with gold brave
Of behind falls painter laughter
You can't find peace and deep quiet breath of living there
Because now that I know
I know because I find out here tonight
In my wife, in my music and my friends...
THIRD CLIP
Strauss was in love with Donna. And he might even want to divorce Poly to marry Donna. He came back from a night staying out with Donna(that night was not about sex in the movie). He found trifle to shout at Poly, just want to find an excuse to flee to Donna. When he had shouted some words, Poly said...
Poly: Don't shout at me please
If you have something on your mind
If you have something you want tell me (then) tell me
But don't shout at me.
If you don't want to tell me
You don't need to make excuses for yourself
You don't need to act like this
If you want to stay out at night, carefully to do so
But you must leave me for you to worry about you if I like
You must respect my feelings to be the wife of your Strauss
is not a little thing
I have tried to be worthy of it.
I am very proud of it.
I will not let anyone to shout at me for your sake
As well as mine.
Strauss: Forgive me Poly
I've always seem to be shouting to you.
I don't know what's the matter with me.
Poly: I won't change you.
Nothing on you, not even your moods or tamper.
Because I know you must be like this to be you.
After hearing the words from Poly, I don't think there will be any man who still want to divorce Poly. In the movie, Strauss and Poly were with each other till the end.
Best wishes for all the ones in love.
