We are told that Wagner, deprived of a piano, for one month during his first stay in Paris, was radically stopped in his work: for that entire period; and when he succeeded in renting an instrument, he expressed to a friend his joy in discovering that (i quote his own words) the ability to compose was not dead. It was then, in fact, that he com pleted The Flying Dutchman.
