Nathaniel imagines each color associated with a sound during the orchestra's performance of Beethoven. This refers to a neurological phenomenon called "Synesthesia", in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory, or cognitive pathway. It is known to have affected many popular musicians, painters and authors like Stevie Wonder, Van Gogh, and Vladimir Nabokov.

Jamie Foxx, who was already a classically trained pianist, learned to play the cello in preparation for the film.

During the scene where Nathaniel Ayers (Jamie Foxx) and Steve Lopez (Robert Downey, Jr.) attend a rehearsal concert, all the seats are covered with canvas. This was not cinematic imagery. This is actually done in some concert halls during rehearsals, to reflect a more accurate sound, as if the seats were being occupied.
