A musician labours in poverty and cold to create the composition that will reveal his genius to the world. Glorying in its originality he hears a lodger whistling the tune as he goes up the stairs. The musician dies in despair believing he has copied an existing work. The lodger reveals subsequently that he had heard the musician composing the air and admired it greatly. (PB)
