A long, long time ago, his one friend and admirer, also a German and also poor, had published two of Lemm's sonatas at his own expense the whole edition remained on the shelves of the music-shops; they disappeared without a trace, as though they had been thrown into a river by night.

He did not know how to set to work, how to cringe at the right moment, how to proffer a request at the fitting time.
