The Symphony in C was written as a student work when Wagner was nineteen, and shortly afterwards he was gratified to hear it at a Gewandhaus Concert at Leipzig. Subsequently the manuscript was lost, and it was not until forty years later, in 1872, that a set of orchestral parts, almost complete, was discovered in an old trunk at Dresden A new score was compiled, and on Christmas Eve, 1882, Wagner himself conducted a private performance of the work at Venice. By then it was a curiosity, even to the composer. * An old-fashioned ouvrage de jeunesse,' he called it then; whidh only makes one the more keen to hear itl Ernest Bradbury
