Not only that, but Prokofiev lost the piano he won in the St. Petersburg Conservatory at the same time. He moved (to Paris I believe) and left the papers in his house, and the piano with a friend, and lost both. He rewrote the 2nd concerto and yelled at his friend, trying to get her to replace the piano.
