RE: "Splitting hairs"? No. There were real women singing in those days...

The movie character was a budding female composer. You injected performers into the mix. I still hold that a 20-something woman would have zero chance of an orchestral composing career in Beethoven's day. Of course there were female performers. Not to be overly harsh, but performers were (and are) a dime a dozen and generally on the social strata of domestic staff.

The last castrato died in the 20th Century and was even recorded. No, not Tiny Tim!
